Fling-ama-string sounds a little kooky, because it is, but it's also a Cat Fancy Editor's Choice Award winner, and gets great reviews from cat lovers at ZooToo.com.
It's simple-it hangs on any doorknob, and flicks it's string in a way that even the most apathetic cat will have to get in on the action. There's no assembly, it's battery operated, and has 2 speeds.
It's not a substitution for actually playing with your cat yourself, but some cats don't give up just because you do. This is perfect for the cat that loves your shoelaces, as well as the cat owner that may not be able to play as much as they'd like.
