You can always enliven a dull night with a little cat toy action. Davout is always ready for a game.
Rhea is a little more standoffish, but very interested.
Someone the other day was asking if Rhea was taller than Davout. While her legs might be a tiny bit longer in proportion, he still has a considerable size difference.
When Rhea makes a move she dives at the toy with both front legs out and her ears back for balance.
Davout sometimes uses the whole body, but at other times he relaxes during a play session and just stabs at it while laying down.
They are cuteness overload!

do you like that toy? My Mom has considered getting it for me but isn’t sure if I will like it. Love, Cody

The cats do like it. They aren’t as crazy for it as DaBird, say, but that means they can use it without me watching super closely. The one I have is pretty quiet, too.

One disadvantage: the toy uses three C cell batteries. My cats play with theirs a little, then run off for cat business (whatever’s on their minds at the time), and come back minutes later. I spend a lot of time turning if on and off when they are in the mood to play with it.
Another disadvantage: One of my cats plays very rough with it, and it started making loud grinding sounds after a while. They’re on the second one now. (It was a two for the price of one offer plus S&H.)
Apparently they share another interest with the lovely cats on this post because Da Bird is a favorite toy that they never tire of. They wear out the replaceable feather lure regularly, but the whole toy and later replacement feather lures are very inexpensive.

Mine uses AA batteries rather than C.
