The Action Cat Toy Spring steel wire and rolled cardboard create an irresistible lure for cats and great fun for you. It reminds your cat of its favorite things, like birds and scampering mice. Playing With Your Cat Cats are crazy about Cat Dancer because it simulates their favorite games--stalking, hunting, and chasing prey. Here are a few games where you and Cat Dancer assume the role of prey. One piece of advice--watch your cat, not your Cat Dancer. Spin-The-Cat. Lead your cat across the floor with the Cat Dancer wand. When your cat begins to run, bring the Cat Dancer around in a circle toward its tail. Continue this and your cat will spin around in circles until either exhaustion or dizziness prevails. Cat-A-Pult. Lead your cat in a straight line across the floor. Just as your cat reaches the end of the wand, flip it up and arc it through the air back to the floor where you started. With a little practice, your cat will do a backflip. With daily practice, your cat may do a backflip-half gainer with a corkscrew finish. Cat Dance. Hold the Cat Dancer just a few inches above your cat. As your cat reaches for the Cat Dancer, keep the wand just out of reach. Remain steady and your cat will stand up on its back legs and dance a bit for you.

This is, paws down, the favorite toy of our three cats. Even after 4 years, not a day goes by that they aren't jumping at it and batting it around. We fastened it to a piece of furniture so that they could play with it when we are not home (or asleep.) Unbelievable that such a simple toy could have such staying power!

I believe the Cat Dancer is Earth's best cat toy.

It never fails to attract my cats' attention, even drawing them away from the window by the bird feeder.

And it's a great way to exercise my indoor cats without wearing myself out or getting my hands scratched.

The only shortcoming for this toy is the dirty looks I get from "Jack" and "Mrs. Chippy" when I put it away.

I have bought my cat many elaborate toys, but only this piece of wire with cardboard attached to the ends can drive him crazy.

Be sure to buy a few of these at once, because cats tend to chew the cardboard off.

Just a warning to all who have this toy. Be careful and don't leave this toy around unattended. Plus, make sure to throw it away once the cardboard pieces get old and are falling to pieces. My friends cat recently almost choked to death on the hook that holds the cardboard pieces together. Luckily she eventually threw it up, but it could have turned out very ugly.

For over 30 years, this is the cat toy that has continued to amuse even the most jaded old cat and the one that has delighted every kitten. It's simple and it's cunning. It imitates a fluttering moth and they can't stay away. Best of all, it doesn't take up much space. I have several and always keep new ones on hand to take as gifts.
