TWB's List of Curiosities: Puzzles
More often than not, people adopt the cat with very limited understanding of what a feline is & what their requirements are.
The cat is the only domesticated species in the feline family — that is to say, the cat has been tamed to need & accept the care of humans — but they have not strayed far from their ancestors. In fact, the cat is physically & behaviourally identical.
There is no such thing as “my cat doesn’t play”.
Your cat is a hunter & to play is to hunt.

Catch The Tail is a 2-in-1 gadget providing the option of "Catch The Bird" { uncovered, with the feather wand } or "Catch The Mouse" { covered, with the rubber stick } to appeal to your felines' prey preference.
Catch The Tail also comes with a variety of settings to suit your feline’s agility. There are 3 speed options: "Slow", "Fast", & "Random". If set to "Random", the device will automatically turn off after 15 minutes. This is a smart move on the designers part, as felines' are naturally active in short bursts, lasting approximately 10 - 15 minutes.

The All For Paws Butterfly comes in 2 variations: The original battery-powered spinner with a basic “On/Off” function & the upgraded battery-powered spinner that relies on a motion sensor to activate the butterfly.
The All For Paws Butterfly comes with 2 butterfly attachment replacements & can also be ordered in colourful packs of 6. Unfortunately, this gadget is far from indestructible & can expose sharp wires to unsuspecting felines & children. Therefore, we strongly recommend supervised play & to store out of reach whenever not in use.

The Jackson Galaxy Butterfly Ball has a weighted base that provides a wobble to assist in the activation of the butterfly, has an "On/Off" switch & requires 3 x AA batteries.
This encapsulated garden in a bubble is perfect for felines who may have limited mobility; providing a Cat TV experience & mental stimulation.

Although the Iokhiera Ball emits no more than a very low, rhythmic buzz, not all felines appreciate the sound the smart ball makes when it interacts with certain surfaces & makes contact with its surrounding environment. However, the Iokhiera Ball is a gadget you can get creative with. Try placing The Iokhiera Ball within a confined space, such as a cardboard box, to blunt a harsh, chaotic noise. This will often incite curiosity & provide plenty of entertainment. The Iokhiera Ball will work on most surfaces with the exception of shaggy rugs & all types of grass. The USB-chargable ball saves on battery by automatically switching itself off after 40 minutes of use.

... Speaking of getting creative, The Catit Senses Play Circuit is an easy to assemble track that can be built & rebuilt & extended to provide a multitude of shapes to keep felines on their toes. Enclosed within the tunneled track is a bell ball, but again, feline's can be finicky when it comes to the sound of their toys, so you can swivel the ball open to blunt or remove the little bell piece.
The Catit Senses Play Circuit is most loved by kittens.
