"Hi! I am Dr. Adrienne Mulligan and I am here on behalf of expertvillage.com and today I am just going to demonstrate to you the fun of my cats’ very favorite toy and this will keep your cat slim and trim if you can do this with them every day. And this is just the fishing rod toy and they like to… I don’t know where you can… there you go… come on Spidey, Spidey, come on, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, come on, how is the big player with this and he really likes this, there he goes, there he goes, yeah. You can get these that are actually attached to a door, so that they can get them going themselves and they will pull on them, and when they pull on them and they spring back then they will start going after them, so they can be something that you can have for them at home to play with when you are not there to play with them. But they are usually… Spidy involved, there we get Spidy involved, come on, come on over here Spidy. We got to get all three cats in here now, all three cats and then they might start batting each other, alright so that is my favorite toy, is the fishing rod toy and clearly the one gets cats moving the most.

on 12/16/2008 be very careful with these toys tho! my kitties love them but they really like eating the string thats attached to it. my kitty ate both of the ones i had and we had an emergency trip to the vet! i reccomend NOT leaving it on a door, only use it under supervision
