Cat home alone? Give her a mouse

To keep your cat amused while you are away, here's something to consider, if you have $70 you can part with.

CatDancer Products has come up with an automatic cat toy: the Mouse in the House.

Here's a video of the toy in action from the manufacturer.

Someone who bought the device for his cat posted this video.

It seems the motor would burn out if the cat kept the mouse from moving. Also replacement mice are available for purchase should the ultimate happen.

Toy story

Kate has more toys than she knows what to do with.

And yet, I keep buying more.

The picture above is one of the silliest-looking toys Kate has. It's a Fat Cat Crackler. Embiggen for the full effect.

Kate still has a couple of the Crackler skunks only one of which still makes a squeaky sound.


They are supposedly indestructible, though I've been told by people that their dogs have torn through them.
