Abstract: A ladder assembly includes a mounting plate and a ladder rotatably connected to the mounting plate. The mounting plate includes a body that includes a first surface having a first orientation and a second surface having a second, different orientation, and the mounting plate includes spaced apart brackets attached to the first surface. The ladder includes first and second legs, steps, and a handrail. Each leg extends from a first end to a second end, is rotatably connected to one of the brackets at the first end, and has opposing side surfaces and opposing front and back surfaces. The steps are supported transversely between the legs. The handrail is attached to the front surface of the first leg. The ladder is rotatable between a first position and a second position. The back surface of each leg abuts the second surface of the mounting plate body in the first position.

Abstract: A cat toy is disclosed herein having a stationary base housing a take-up reel storing a length of line with a weighted end. A motor and resilient propulsion unit are pivotally carried as an assembly on the base wherein energy is stored in the propulsion unit in response to drawing of the line onto the reel by the motor. Gear means are selectively coupled with the reel for driving the reel so as to withdraw the line. The pivotal connection of the motor/propulsion unit assembly provides an over-the-toggle mechanism responsive to the storage of energy in the propulsion unit to disengage the motor from the reel to release the stored energy for tossing the weighted end of the line from the propulsion unit.
