ABSTRACT:
A Pet Exerciser and Toy Device consisting of an Attractor made of brightly colored silicone rubber strips attached to a high tensile strength steel Wire Member which is in turn embedded into a Handle Member that is manipulated by a human hand to entice the pet to attack. This device uses the pet's natural instincts of stalking, pouncing, leaping, and rebounding to provide much needed exercise to seldom used muscles. This also allows the pet and human to reaffirm their relationship in a positive manner.
