How to entertain 5 cats at once!

I had been eyeing this toy in the Petsmart, where I work part time for a while now. I thought my boys, especially Tanner, would just love it! He loves to play a game called Pokey Stick, where basically I poke a plastic stick out from under a mat on the floor and he attacks it. He loves this game, but as you can imagine, it gets a bit old for the poker! So, when I saw this, I thought Ah Ha...automatic pokey stick! Let the games begin!!

Even Tanner's cat sitters will ask with a bit of dread, does he still like the pokey stick! That's how fanatical Tanner is about this game. He never grows tired of it.

This is when I first put it down...I was surprised that Smokey came over so quickly. Pirate had to hurry and finish in the litter box to join in on the action. (Those laundry baskets are there to help remind the kitties that we do not potty on the carpet!)

Everyone was quite curious about it...pretty impressive to have 5 kitties congregating around a toy. It was a little loud, but that didn't bother them. I thought it would just going in a circle under the cover, but no, it is completely random with it's movements. Round and round, back and forth, and sometimes it even stops for a few seconds and then goes again! Great for keeping a cats attention.

You can see the little red thing that is going around near Tanner's feet. It was soft plastic, so if it ran into them, it just kept going. Devon was the most active with the toy. Tanner was a bit nervous about it, but still curious. He finally got more comfortable and played with it.

Another shot of everyone checking it out! There are two speeds, low and high, and then also a random mode, where the speed will change. Money well spent on 5 good kitties!
