 :yesss: :yesss: It came, it came - it's fab, already had a play session with it and after he pretended he wasn't interested at first even Dylan went mad for it, haven't seen him move that quick in ages  :rofl:  :rofl: Hobbes loved it of course and threw himself all over the place to catch it, trouble was he kept wanting to carry it off into his Ikea tent  :rofl: I've had to hide it to give me a rest. Great toy Tan thanks so much for getting them  :Luv:

A long cardboard tube arrived this morning  ;D  I've not opened it yet as I'm saving it for this evening's play session.  :yesss:  It's come just at the right time as Mosi is going through a "not that old toy again" phase.

whenever I put it away (to give me a rest) smidgen roam vigourously around the place giving little spoilt kitty mews to make it clear he still wants it. He has destroyed his Ikea Tent in a fit of pique (well, sat on it until it collapsed lol). Is now hurling himself up and down the steps of his climbing tower as has not yet found the latest hiding place ... THought it was supposed to wear them out - it's certainly wearing me out  :rofl: :rofl:

Tan, mine arrived today also. Unfortunatlely I only arrived myself about half and hour ago.Smidgen is totally crazy for it so have had to hide it is was worried he might injure himself he was throwing himself around with such gay abandon. Will get it out tomorrow upstairs in the bedroom where there is less to hurt himself one. He is so cute, but I have no idea how I will get a photo as he moves so fast (flying cat!!)

I was ambushed by Sasa and misa tonight cos they wqnted to play da bird  ;D

Once Sasa saw me pick it up she rushed to front room with tail up and looked behind to make sure that I was coming in the right direction.

The tent and da bird together she says are lots of fun and sahe will hide in tent and then try to catch it from inside when it lands on top of tent.

Your discription is very accurate Tan cos she showed me just how she would catch and kill a bird. She weighs a ton bot she pounced up abd caufght it first time as it was flying past and then proceeded to bite and plat with it in her paws, she will then lie on it  :rofl: :rofl:

Poor Misa is too much a gentleman and lets Sasa play and keeps waiting for her to give him a turn................ummmmmmm she doesnt!

She eventually rushed out of the room with Misa and they went and ate dinner and da birdy is now sleeping  ;D

Yayyyy some of ya have finally got it then  ;D ;D Shame on the posties that didn't deliver today  >:(  I think they should change 1st class from 1 to 2 days to 5 or more  >:(

Here is the best way to play with it.

Interactive toys are used for play therapy; the best one is called Da Bird. It's a fishing pole toy with a unique feather configuration at the end that sounds like flapping wings. It's totally irresistible!

It's not enough to dangle the toy while watching TV. You have to be the bird! You've probably seen your cat perched in the window watching real birds. Now, let the cat follow a pattern of flight around the room long enough to get completely involved in it: with rapt attention, tensing muscles, and a little twitch of the tail. Talk to the cat in a light praising tone.
At some point, swoop the toy close enough for the cat to make a grab. When he catches you, play dead, but keep gentle tension on the string. When the cat relaxes, you make your escape! Fly around a bit, then allow yourself to be caught again. This whole routine can be repeated, of course, ad infinitum, until the cat is finished. But watch out for the "second wind!" This routine should truly tire the cat out.
The final step is a high protein snack. Kitten food, a dried liver treat, or a teaspoon of meat baby food is fine. This completes the natural cycle of hunt-catch-kill-eat.
Once the session is over, put away the special play therapy toy. It only comes out for these special sessions. Regular daily play therapy work will make your cat happier and more confident, and less likely to manifest stress in unpleasant and unwanted ways.  ;)

I love the vid Sam  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well I can honestly say Da Bird is a great success.  Zephyr and Rossi love it ... Foxy is a bit unsure but as it involves leaping about I didn't expect her to be up for it  :rofl:

Thank goodness I have cats - if I didn't, I wouldn't have ordered Da Bird and if I hadn't ordered Da Bird I wouldn't have been woken up by the postman at 8am this morning and I would have been very late for work!  :rofl:

Oh, and Lilly and Robbie love it - had to hide it as they are shattered but stilll want to chase it!

Thanks for getting these Tan,

Yippee, mine's here too. Had a quick peep, but I'll wait until I get home to try it out. Everyone at work will think I'm crazy if I start waving round feathers on the end of a long stick!!!

Thanks so much Tan, I'm sure Fergus and Polly are going to love it. I'll get some piccies up when I can.
