5 Mice=The. Best. Thing. Ever. Invented.

For my second review, my sister Phoebe insisted that I take a look at her favorite toy, the Cat Dancer.

What is it?
The Cat Dancer is simply a 35 inch long piece of wire with six pieces of cardboard that can move along the wire. Pretty simple, right? When we first took it out of the package we thought it was waaaay to simple to be any fun. Well it may not look like much, but let me tell you, we had so much fun with this thing it should be illegal. The Cat Dancer can be an interactive toy for both kitty and human, or you can just use it to entertain yourself. It can be twirled in circles, or works great for a game of Keep Away, but my favorite way to use it is to lay on my back while my Mom taps it on either side of me and I roll around to catch it. The Cat Dancer comes in a few different varieties, The Original described above; the Cat Dancer Compleat comes with a paw shaped pad that can be used to hang on a door or wall; and a new version, the Catnip Cat Dancer has a green plastic catnip mouse on one end. The one with the paw is great for a kitty who is home alone for most of the day, and the new mouse one makes it easier for the human to hold in their hand for longer play sessions! We have found in our house that this is a great toy for a cat with aggression problems. If a cat gets bored it can sometimes start to hunt other housemates, and the Cat Dancer can be whipped out at a moments notice to distract to aggressor and save the hunted. My Mom keeps one tucked in the couch cushion so at night when Phoebe gets wild she can distract her. We love it for quick 15 minute play sessions before Mom leaves for work, or to tire us out in the evening so we don't keep her awake at night. The Cat Dancer is very affordable (from $3. for the original to $7.50 for the Catnip) and is widely available online and in pet stores. (amazon.com, Petsmart, www.catdancer.com and more).

Pros: inexpensive, durable, easy to find in stores, very versatile--many different ways to use it, never get sick of it.
Cons: couldn't find any

So the Cat Dancer gets a rating of 5 Mice!!!
