Clamp-On Electronic Cat Toy with Dangling Furry Ball

Instead of waving a wand yourself, clamp this toy to the edge of a table, shelf or cat tree and let your cat go after the dangling furry ball. The white-and-black ball unit is about 2.8 inches (7 cm) across, and its clamp, about 1.4 inches (3.5 cm), grips an edge so the string hangs down where a cat can reach it. A gray furry ball on a thin black string is the part cats chase and bat.

The unit is molded from ABS plastic and is described as an electric toy. The item is sold in several forms: the white unit on its own, in sets of two, three or five, or as replacement accessories, a string with a furry ball, in packs of one, five or six. If you have more than one cat, or want spares, the multi-packs save reordering. A set that includes the white unit and one set of accessories is also offered.

Pick a sturdy edge for the clamp and keep the string away from curious chewers; take the toy down and store it when nobody is watching. A single white unit weighs 162 g (about 5.7 oz) in its packaging. Wipe the plastic with a damp cloth and brush hair from the furry ball. Replace the ball and string when they wear out.
