\"\"<\/a>If you are still one of the few people left on this planet who have not gotten your cat Da Bird, if this entertaining video to follow doesn’t convince you, nothing will! Rather unfathomable to me in retrospect, but in all my 50 plus cat loving years, I\u00a0actually had not heard of Da Bird until I watched Jackson Galaxy use it as a behavioral toy on My Cat From Hell a few weeks ago. Apparently I had been living under a rock, because when I found the item and read the reviews,\u00a0not only was every cat in the universe in love with this toy, they were addicted to it like a drug addict…<\/p>\n

Hmmm… I have mountains of cat toys in my house and Dan said to me, “Don’t we already have enough feather toys on a stick?” I understood his point, but I told him that apparently this toy was different and it was made to simulate a bird in flight. I wasn’t completely convinced myself, but decided to order it and let my own picky gang of seven be the judge of just how awesome this toy really was. Well, literally within seconds after this ridiculously simple contraption came out of the tube it was packaged in, my cats went bonkers. Not a cat intrigued\u00a0with a new toy bonkers that they wanted to sniff and bat at, but certifiably crazy, need to go to Da Bird rehab insane. THEY LOVE THIS TOY and I cannot say enough good things about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n

Not only is it fun for them, but Dan and I are equally as entertained as we watch our cats perform gravity defying acts that could be in the Barmum and Baily circus. Our girl Peanut is especially enamored of this toy and her athleticism rivals any Frisbee catching dog I have ever seen!\u00a0 Our couch potato Harley has actually jumped up to catch Da Bird and even if these cats wanted to snub this toy, they just can’t. They are literally hypnotized by this toy and we have to\u00a0 hide it in in the closest when it is not in use. The minute we go and get it, ears perk up and a stampede of cats comes running after it. Sadly, nobody from Da Bird even knows I have done this glowing review. I am not receiving any compensation, other than the pure joy it gives my cats!<\/p>\n

The best way to show just how great Da Bird really is, is to let the cats tell the story! But, before you click to play the video, please read the important information to follow, because not only is Da Bird a highly enjoyable form of entertainment, but this toy\u00a0is really, really, really good for the overall well-being of your cat!<\/p>\n

THE BENEFITS OF DA BIRD & EXCERCISE TO YOUR CAT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"It significantly increases the human-feline bond.<\/p>\n

\"\"It allows them to hone their innate desire to hunt. Da Bird is the enemy target and the cat will make its stealthy approach, pouncing with conviction and relishing the victory!<\/p>\n

\"\"Exercise from playing with Da Bird will help to maintain a healthy weight for your cat.<\/p>\n

\"\"Playing is a postive way for your cat to release pent up aggression or negative energy that might be displaced to you or other cats in your household.<\/p>\n

\"\"Playing helps a shy or timid cat gain confidence.<\/p>\n

\"\"Playtime helps to tire your cat so they are less likely to wake you up in the middle of the night with a sudden burst of energy and need for attention.
