5743215 - Cat toy for reliably triggering play or attack behavior

An animal toy comprising a durable, flexible target attached to the end of a line of a pole and reel assembly. The target is made of a plastic material in order to withstand chewing and breaking by the animal. Further, the target may be shaped as a circular ring or drooping spiral to allow for easier attack and chewing by the animal. The target is resilient so that it moves in and of itself apart from the pole to more reliably evoke the play or attack behavior of the animal or cat.

6505576 - Pet toy - Owned by Nathanson; Barbara (New York, NY)

A pet toy that projects a moving light beam in various directions to entertain a pet is provided. The pet toy comprises a hollow housing having an upper opening and a lower opening. A domed cover is pivotally attached to the housing and capable of closing the upper opening. The domed cover has a reflective material on an underside thereof. A light source is operatively received within the housing and capable of producing a beam of light directed upward through the upper opening. An electric motor is operatively received within the housing and capable of moving the light source. A power source is operatively received within the housing for powering the light source and the electric motor. A switch is located on the housing and movable to an on position allowing the power source to power the light source and/or the electric motor and an off position for preventing the power source from powering the light source and/or the electric motor. In a preferred form, the switch is generally biased toward the on position but is forced to and maintained in the off position when the domed cover is closed against the housing.
