    Little padded, weighted disk to which a few feathers, four or five

    To a very large extent all our cats have pretty much ignored them. But wife's newest kittie, Fudge, has gone crazy for them: attacks, tosses
    into the air, plays "kitty hocky" on the kitchen floor, etc.

    So in a month, he's worn them to a nub -- feathers pretty much gone!

    For the last month, every time I pass a pet store, I've parked the car
    and checked out their cats toys -- no "Kitty Birds" -- at least, not the
    like ones that Fudge loves.

    Have found a few web pages but the web stores don't appear to be
    currently active (pages dated 1998, etc).

    Anybody out there have a cat with such a "kitty bird?" Have a source?

    Any help would be appreciated. Name and phone number would be great!

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi, We are STILL searching for the Kitty Bird cat toy, LOL..Has anyone been lucky enough to find them ANYWHERE? We will always be a multicat home, so would like to find these fun toys for our cats, one especially loved to chase it and paw it, but, no
    luck finding them. We originally found them at PetSmart in a multicount package, darn it! After that, they were gone! very disappointed..Please contact me if you find these fun toys..We see similar designs, but, they have cardboard bottoms, not the
    rubber round disc that was in the original design..The design is considered a "shuttercock" if that helps with anyone else still searching....Please email me at my AOL address: ElvisCat59@aol.com NOT here, because I do not use Google much at all and will
    not get your message. I'm also on Facebook under Lynn Larson Neuberg too...:-)

    I have also been looking for the “kittybird” toy for our new kitten. Below is what I found.

    BOCA BIRD
    The Kittybird toy was discontinued but has been brought back to life as the Bocabird Feather Toy. Still tickles your cats fancy because they love to swat, pounce and bat these, flirt-y toys around and around. Hours of self stimulation will keep them
    company if you're not around, but you can play too!! Great design is colorful, unique, safe, non-toxic and made in North America! This unique toy brings out the natural instinct of a cat to hunt. Vinyl base with non-toxic dyed turkey feathers that
    reminds kitty of the birds they could encounter in the wild. (change in toy; weighted base replaced with vinyl base due to some cats biting the base open and ingested sawdust stuffing).

    The Boca bird can be purchased here: http://www.pinkbellygifts.com/cats/bocabird.htm
