Your Cat Will Think It's Real (And Go Absolutely Wild)
Does your cat sleep all day? Ignore their toys? Stare out the window looking bored? Indoor cats need more than a food bowl and a scratching post—they need prey simulation to satisfy their natural hunting instincts.
This Flapping Fish Cat Toy moves like a real fish, triggering your cat's predator instincts and turning lazy loungers into energetic hunters. The motion-activated sensor makes the fish flap and wiggle when your cat touches it, creating realistic prey movement that keeps cats engaged for hours. Filled with premium catnip and made from soft, durable fabric, this toy provides the mental and physical stimulation your indoor cat craves.
Perfect for: ✓ Bored indoor cats who need stimulation
✓ Overweight cats who need exercise
✓ Kittens learning to hunt and play
✓ Cats who ignore regular toys
✓ Multi-cat households (everyone wants a turn!)
✓ Senior cats who need gentle exercise
✓ Cats home alone during the day
✓ Cats with pent-up energy (3am zoomies, anyone?)
✓ Anxious cats who need distraction
✓ Cats who love catnip
