Well im probably the only one. I can't find them in Aus, and i thought instead of paying for it and shippage to Aus AND having to wait, i made my own! I went to my art shop and bought a 36" wooden dowel just under 1cm thick, a packet of turkey feathers, and some jewellery links. I pushed the feathers into the links, hot glued them in place, attached some nylon string (purple of course and not too thin so kitty doesn't hurt him/herself), hotglued the other end of the string onto the end of the dowel then touched it up by neatly wrapping black tape over the end of the dowel and the feathers so you can't see the glue and metal. Now i know it isn't as good as the real thing, from the pictures i've seen. But Jasmine was following me into every room, hunting my new creation!
I got her up onto mum and dads bed because she like the crinkly sound the doona makes, and she went around in circles chasing this thing. The way i made it if i swing it across, instead of the feathers hanging down, they actually swoop across, the taped up end acts like a nose. She just had her daily dose of excercise!
As for Charlie, he apparently has outgrown his kitteness, and prefers to chase a pencil or hands across the bed.
