Been there since day one
PLAY THERAPY -Da Bird is an excellent toy to use with behaviour issues.
With Da Bird Cat toy, fly the Da bird around the room or garden in random sweeping movements like a bird in real flight. Your cat's attention will be completely focused on it's "prey". Talk to the cat with a light happy voice. During the flight, land or swoop the Da bird close to your cat, they will be waiting/jumping for the right moment to catch their prey! When caught, play dead and take the chance to get away when the cat releases their grip! Repeating this routine will entertain and exhaust your cat. If they are panting, rest for a while and start again until the cat is completely tired.
The kitty kopter can be used to satisfy the cats catch instinct and some feathers for the kill chew instinct. Then a high protein snack. This completes the natural cycle of hunt-catch-kill-eat.
It' always best to put away the Da Bird after play sessions.
Used regularly, This toy as play therapy can help with shy/ nervous cats and different kinds of aggressive feline behaviours.
