Title: Da Bird
Post by: Kay and Penny on February 21, 2009, 11:45:29 AM

Arrived this morning -  superfast delivery - so I thought I would try it out on Tiffany, the fanatical bird watcher and very occasional catcher, if one should happen to unfortunately set down inside the enclosure

I wafted it over her head as she lay in her basket - she howled and fled - 10 minutes later she is still hiding under the bed - the great wuss :rofl:

do all cats take a while to learn to play with it?

Mine loved it from the word go, maybe trying flicking it around on the floor first rather than a full on Bald Eagle circling her bed  :evillaugh:

Mr T was terrified of it (Da Bird) at first - then instead of making it fly I dragged it - and he loved it.  In fact his favourite attachment is the furry thing that looks like a rabbits paw!!  We call it his "ferret" as we have to keep ferreting it out of places.   :evillaugh: 

Try dragging it along th ground - when she has "made friends" with it, you will probably find she accepts the flying.  Its quite a big toy in relation to the size of the average cat!!

I find with new and different toys some of my guys take a little time to warm to them.
