Did you know that in ancient Egypt cats were held in such high regard that laws were created to protect them? As a matter of fact, because of the cat’s exalted status, a religious order of cat worshipers developed that lasted for more than 2,000 years.

The relationship between the Egyptians and their cats was unique. One the reason is that Egyptians lived from the land and the crops they produced. Over time, Egyptians noticed that cats ate the rats that ate their grain. So the Egyptians welcomed cats into their communities with open arms.

Yes, cats are born to stalk and hunt. And nothing consumes them more than the chase!

There are hundreds of reasons why we love our cats so much – but their skills are probably not tops on the list. Today, most of us do not have farms. We do not harvest crops for a living or have mice in our homes. Our lives have changed significantly, so we no longer prize our cats for their keen hunting ability. But our cats’ nature has not changed, which begs the question … How can we satisfy our cats’ natural instinct to hunt?

What can we do to provide our indoor cats with some sort of “prey” that they can instinctively stalk and track?  It has to be something that they can bat around with her paws, throw up in the air and pounce on. 

Dr. Debra Primovic, our Managing Editor and one of our resident cat lovers, recently found a very, very cool interactive toy that was designed to satisfy the soul of your cat’s “Inner Hunter”.

It is a cleverly disguised mechanical mouse that darts frantically back and forth in perpetual motion – just out of full sight – tempting, teasing and enticing your kitty to stalk and chase. This toy really knows how to get a cat’s attention! 

With Undercover Mouse as their prey, cats will indulge themselves in the hunt for hours on end. And they’ll love every minute of it! Just watch this video of the Undercover Mouse in action. These kitties are playing with the Undercover Mouse and it’s a riot!
