All cats love feathers. All cats love birds. All birds have feathers. All cats love feathers.

Thus we humans have invented feathered cat toys to ensure that the species of birds does not get extinct.

Feather toys are a great way to entertain your cat and protect birds from being eaten alive at the same time. All humans are different, so are cats. This is why there has developed a great variety of great feathered cat toys much to the enjoyment of our little tigers.

A ball with feathers is one of the all time favorites of cats.

The feather adds a special incite which makes the ball more fun to destroy after it has been catched by the skilled four legged cardbox goalkeeper. ("crunch")

Green, yellow and pink balls seen to the right are specially made for the nightactive cat. They glow in the dark - which also helps us humans to find them again after sleepless nights of cat over-activity.

The rattle ball to the left is ideal for kittens who like noisy toys and have masters with a high duration of noise.

Another popular cat toy is the feather on a swing toy. The feathers are usually fastened to a nylon line on a pole. Many cats love to play with their own little bird swirling through the living room for hours. The ants in the film "Bugs" simply had to buy this toy to scare away the grasshoppers forever. No self-made bird made out of leaves needed any more.

You can watch your cat do acrobatic figures and receive standing ovations from guests when confronted with this toy. Some cat toy shops even offer feather refills should your four pawed darling get too rough on the toy.

 

Everybody knows that cats are magical beings. Do you remember the magical Mr. Mistoffelees from the musical Cats? The folks at the CatFaeries cat toy online store have come up with a special idea to improve our cats lives: they have invented the Magic Wand for cats! Now your cat can prove that it really has magical powers by turning water into milk.

Here is what the inventors have to say about their special cat toy:

"What makes a cat leap in the air at seemingly nothing? Why its a cat faerie or two! Can't you just imagine cat faeries swirling around kitty waving our Cat Faerie Magic Wands? Cat loving humans can hold your own magic wand and enchant your feline sweethearts!"

The Tiger Tickler toy brings out he tiger in your cat. This selected pheasant feather toy is ideal for your beloved house tiger. Nothing more fun than letting your cat run circles round you to get a paw on that feather.

A stuffed animal or a bunch of feathers placed on a strong wire make a perfect rocking toy. The moving object will keep your cat entertained for hours. The rocker can often be turned round to make the toy rock at a faster speed.

Here is a tip for new toys from the Feathers-N-Fur Homepage:

"When introducing a new toy or scratching post to your cat, sprinkle or spray it with a little catnip! This will entice your kitty to investigate. Continue applying catnip as needed to keep your cat interested in the toy and use of a scratching post."

Not only cats like feathered toys.

Many birds love to play with feathers as well. Either their own or stolen from their peers - or placed in their cage as bird toys. The animal toy industry has noticed this trend and is now offering feathered toys for birds as well, like the small swing to the right.
