ABSTRACT:
A device for the amusement of pets (and in particular cats) includes a flat horizontal base and a post secured to the base adjacent its periphery which extends upwardly therefrom so that an upper end of the post is positioned over and above a central portion of the base. A coiled spring is secured to the upper end of the post and extends upwardly therefrom so that a free outer end of the coiled spring is positioned over and above the central portion of the base. A pet toy aromatized with catnip is attached to the bottom end of a cord, the top end of which is selectively secured to the free outer end of the coiled spring by a suitable fastener. The pet toy is thus resiliently suspended over the base. In addition, the pet toy, post and base all have durable coverings penetrable by pet claws.
