This invention relates generally to the field of cat toys and more specifically to an impact action cat toy.
Cat's who live in a home environment enjoy practicing their hunting skills by chasing after erratically moving items whether they be real—such as mice, or artificial, such as a cat toy that is operated by the cat's owner to imitate the erratic action of a mouse or other naturally occurring small animal.Numerous cat toys have been designed and manufactured to fill this need.However, most of those toys do not provide a high degree of instantaneous and quick movement that cats love so much. Simple cat toys that dangle from a string can be dragged and flown by the user but require a great deal of effort on the user's part, and even then, the action is not necessarily lightning fast because a person's hand and arm can only move to a certain degree of speed and no further. What is needed is a cat toy that includes a novel way to produce a truly instantaneous movement and that is very simple and economical to manufacture.
