I bought one of those "Fling ama String" cat toys! OMG! Chynna loves it. I had to turn it on and put her in front of it so she saw it and she chased the string for about 5 minutes, and man, did she meow!!

Abby is sitting beside it looking at it now. She's not too sure about it. Actually she just moved away and Chynna is currently attacking it. I wish I had a video camera. It's so darn cute!

For those in Canada, it's available at Pet Value for $24.99 plus taxes. A bit pricey but it's entertaining Chynna and that's money well spent.

Oh my god, I NEED ONE! My cat will only play with string-like things, so she would absolutely go nuts over this. Thanks for posting! Be sure to get some pics and video!!

I bought one at PetSmart yesterday. They had them on sale for $19.99. So far Anna has watched it more than played with it. She gets close enough that the string falls on her head but usually justs watches. Darn! I really thought she'd love this.

Elijah won't even be in the same room if it's running. Double darn!

There's no place like home
I have one but have to supervise them when they play with it. Koko nearly ripped the band that held the string when she figured out she could stop the toy by grabbing the rotating band. That's my OCD girl!

I think I paid about $20 for it last year.

My SS two years ago got us one, and Mojo is the same way as Koko! But we knew that, didn't we?
Did Koko also figure out where the string went and try to pull the elastic away from the rest of it to get the string? She goes spastic on that thing, so you have to keep an eye on her or she will get very possessive and not let anyone else even get close to it. As well as trying to break it so she can have the string.

Kellye, I clicked all through google and most of the links are just ads. I think if we want one we would have to buy it through moodypet.

Or get an overseas friend to send you one.


I think my boys would have fun with that! Someone was telling me about the Panic Mouse yesterday, and I'd like to check that out too.

ETA: did anyone see the Humunga tongue toy on that website?

I need to get a second one! Chynna is being a complete toy hog! Poor Abby can't even get a chance at it.
