helpful. I'll be getting one of those Da Birds! Kerry

Subject: Wonderful article on laser and
other toys
Hi Everyone,
I've been reading the thread about laser toys and I wanted to send the
link for this article:
It's by Dr. Jean Hofve and was in one of her free newsletters.
They're wonderful! You can subscribe at www.littlebigcat.com
We had a few cats, most especially Cookie, who would sit and stare and
paw at the drawer where the laser toy was kept. After I read this
article, it all made sense (duh! could I get any blonder?); they were
frustrated because they needed somthing to complete their hunting
experience. The needed a "kill"! I bought some dog toys which are
essentially stuffed tubes of canvas with little animal heads. The are
about 9 inches long and 3-4 inches in circumference. The kitties are
able to get it in a 4-paw grip and kick and kill! Once they seem to be
winding down, I pick up the "kill" toys and put them away as they are for
a specific purpose. It has really worked well; they don't sit and stare
at the drawer anymore and they have a great time with their workout.
Hope this is helpful!
Love, Julie
