ABSTRACT:
A game is disclosed wherein a pet and its owner can interest through play with a remotely controlled toy system. The system includes a mechanically movable toy animal, a control box separate from the toy animal and, optionally, an enclosure structure sufficiently large for surrounding the toy animal. In the game method, a pet, such a household cat, chases the remotely controlled toy animal which may be in the shape of a rodent. Besides evasive movements, the toy animal can evade capture by the cat through entry into the enclosure structure. Both the human operator of the toy animal and the pet can create a new friendship by joint participation in this game.
