Snowy is a Meezer and can do those acrobatics too.
But, that picture you caught. Wonderful.

I am always surprised at the weird and wonderful things Meezers can do! It's a furry toy that attaches via a piece of elastic to a hook at the top of a door. So he can play catchie, or I can play with him. We got it at the pet store.

We had one and we can't find it. Great idea, thank you!

I did get Noah to play last night. We have this toy (another cattoys.com find) that is a wire thing with a handle. At the other end is a rubber thing that attaches feathers to the wire. It is such a simple toy and they all LOVE it!!

Thanks for the ideas!

Mini especially spends ages just stretching the elastic, letting the fluffy mouse thing go smashing into the ceiling. Then he does it again and again and again. Maybe Noah might like something like this because he can play by himself.

There's a hook too in my apt, I should try too. Mini looks like he has a lot of fun.

My Rb-cat Sydney was also a lazy one ; partly because of her heart-disease . I could always attract her attention with her "cat-island" . Do you know this toy ? it is a round island in fur , with three mice on it , which are attached to a moving spring . Do you get the picture ?? I must have a pic somewhere . If you want to , O can look for it and post it later ! Just ask , okay ?!
