If you are having trouble keeping your pets toys from finding their way under all kinds of furniture, then purchase this "Cat Flick Toy" cat toy for your four legged feline friends. You can find this at most any place that sells cat and dog toys, we found ours at Pet-Co on clearance sale for only $2.99.

Description
This toy is only 18" long and this has either feathers, or a stuffed rat or mouse stuffed with catnip or just some type of fuzzy type of animal at the end. The wand is about 1/16" thick, and only weighs a few ounces. All of the toys are each a different color, but this particular one is a nice sky blue in color. The nice thing about this toy is that they does not requires any batteries to operate, only an active imagination by your cats. This toy did not come in any cellophane or box to speak of, just a cardboard wrapper. So, this means that you will have only a little bit of trash when you open this up for use. I also thought that dogs would chew this toy up before the cats could play with it, but they are not even the least little bit interested in this toy.

This is made of a very durable plastic and is connected by a 18" plastic wand in the center. This is one solid piece and long enough to let your cat stick its paw out and swat at it without scratching you. This wand will give you a long enough reach for your cat to go crazy and will make traveling on a trip with ease all the way around the toy. This toy does not come apart even when it is tossed around by your real kids.

Experience
We have used these for several years and it has always done an excellent job entertaining our cats. This has given our so called children (Pets)several hours of enjoyment and excitement when they are finally finished, this left them exhausted after playing with it. While they were playing, they would come racing and attack the toy to get at the feathered end and try to kill the stuffed animal at the end. Once they were done playing with this and catch their breath, they would go back and start all over again, right back to the spot where they were playing with this, running in circles and swatting and biting and holding it with their paws.

Because this toy is so light, your pet can easily toss it into the air and flip it over. This may be a little confusing, but our so called children (Pets) being so small, really did not understand that they are supposed to not flip it over to play with it. They enjoyed this immensely, they were just happy that they were able to make us smile, these toys will never fall apart unless your human kids tear it apart. Our pets are older but still play like little were children, they have enjoyed hours of fun with this toy. We do have older cats (currently 6 months old), that can get a little bored with this toy, but they continue to still play with it just because it does it occupies their time when they get bored.

I have found the older that your child (our Pets) will get bored easily and they will soon stop playing earlier than the younger pets do. The amusement of this toy will only last for a little while with the older ones, but our younger pets still play for hours, maybe just in a few years will go by before they settle down, I do not see that happening anytime soon. But, that is only a wish, sometimes they can drive us nuts because they keep running at these toys and wanting us to watch them. Unless your pet has a learning disability or is really old, then this toy will come in handy for quite a few years to come.

Conclusion
As long as you do not expect this toy to last forever, your pets will eventually chew this up, and that saves other items in the house, this will be enough to keep them busy. This is excellent for starting off ,and then who knows this may lead to more controlled pets. So far five stars for the action that this has and the price is perfect. This will not cost you too much if you have to replace it.
