    Abstract: A cat toy that encourages a cat to play even if the cat is shy or hiding has a handle to be held by a person using the toy with a flexible line, cord or string connected at one end to the handle and at the other end to a plaything such as a feather or ribbon. Also connected to the handle is a sound producing device such as a bell, chime, or rattle that can be used by a person to produce a characteristic sound that will, over a period of time, become to be recognized by the cat whenever the toy is to be used to produce a reaction showing the cat is eager to play. The sound producing device can be a bell connected to the free end of the handle so that the bell will ring whenever the handle is moved up and down or from side to side in synchronization with the movement of the plaything.
