Cost: Around $12.00
The Magneticat is a very simple toy. It consists of a plastic base from which rises an arched metal rod. At the end of the rod hangs a small bug-like toy. The bug hangs so that it is slightly above the base. The bug and the base contain magnets of the same polarity; this causes the bug to be repelled by the base.
The bug normally is stationary, but if any part of the Magneticat is nudged, such as if your kitties rub up against it, the bug begins to move. This is a result of the repelling magnetic forces. The bug will continue to move for about 30 seconds before returning to equilibrium, but your cat(s) will probably paw at it once it starts moving and thus keep it going.
The Magneticat is available at many major retailers and pet supply stores. It can also be purchased online at sites such as PETCO.com
The Magneticat is well made. It will last a long time. One of its biggest advantages is that it requires no batteries to provide the moving action that cats love! Your cat(s) can “operate” it anytime they wish!
