Abstract: A pet toy is provided for the pet toy having an elongated housing with a flat lower surface secured to a bottom of said elongated housing and adapted to allow the elongated housing to sit flat and securely on a planar surface. A reciprocating mechanism contained within said center section and comprising a motor that physically communicates a linear reciprocating motion of a rack and pinion gear to a pair of opposed targets aligned along the centerline and extend outward from said first egress orifice. The target appendages are each comprised of a flexible, conformable and compressible member adapted to be withdrawn into the respective egress orifice and alternately extend outward from the respective egress orifice.

Abstract: A toy is provided that simulates hide-and-seek or peekaboo action moving randomly in and out in a non-sequential pattern about the housing, thereby catching the pet's attention and stimulating the animal's instinctive curiosity. An outer housing forms a travel guide defining a travel path of a generally concave polygon pattern. A motorized mechanism contained within the housing urges an elongated, flexible target about the travel guide so that the target can pass by egress openings located at the vertices in a bidirectional, random fashion.

Abstract: A rollable pet toy is provided forming a skeletal ball that contains a simulated mouse, bird, or other small prey type animal. The skeletal ball provides a rollable form factor while still providing significant access area through which the pet may paw at or access the internal volume. The simulated mouse, bird or other small prey type animal, contained within, is visible and partially accessible. The simulated mouse, bird or other small prey animal is pivotally attached about an axle that is secured on each end, and is further motorized about the axle in a manner that the simulated animal can be made to move such as bobbing up and down. Additional movements, such as head bobbing for and back, or side to side, may further be incorporated. Sound emanation from a prerecorded sound chip may be further provided. Added olfactory stimulus, such as catnip or other herbaceous materials, may be further molded into the skeletal ball structure or contained within the simulated animal.

Abstract: An adjustable elevated feeder is provided having a platform for holding both a feeder and a water bowl. The underside of the platform surface has a pair of parallel disposed leg impingement slots formed therein. A pair of rectangular leg elements each having two dimension: a high dimension having a longer width and a low dimension having a shorter width. When the legs are press fitted into the slots about the shorter width, the high dimension raises the platform to an upper adjustment height. Alternately, when the legs are press fitted into the slots about the greater length, the low dimension lowers the platform to a lower adjustment height.

Abstract: A variety of pet related products are provided formed initially of plastic and finalized with a metallized surface finish. The pet product is molded using injection molding, rotational molding, vacuum forming, blow molding, compression molding, thermoforming or other plastic forming techniques that can provide a structure having a shape that cannot be readily or economically shaped by metal stamping or other conventional metalworking method. The semi finished plastic part is then subjected to a metallizing process in an individualized non-contiguous manner, where a thin metallic layer is deposited on at least one of the product surfaces. The resultant pet product item simulates the appearance metal, and may provide the durability, cleanability and the general antimicrobial nature resulting metal surfaces.

Abstract: A generally circular enclosure is provided defining a generally circular track about which a prey decoy is located and travels. Openings or apertures in its housing permitting the prey decoy to travel about the track. The prey decoy is secured to a rotating wheel that imparts a rotary motion about the circular shaped track. The prey decoy is further spring urged in a vertical direction, perpendicular to the plane of rotational motion. The track opening has at least one break, making it noncontiguous. As the decoy is deployed about the track and impinges against the housing at the break in the track, the decoy is urged downward, and subsequently is urged upward when it reaches the track opening at the opposing side of the break. This circular motion in which the prey decoy appear to be moving upward and downward as it travels about the circular path stimulates the animal to paw at and engage the prey.
