this just in...

from the "awesomely genius but surprisingly simple" files - sway has arrived at madcat.

sway uses heavy duty magnets to adhere itself to surfaces - tables, bookshelves, the fridge. the top is a handle that allows hoomans to slide it around pretty easily; the bottom part is a sisal ball, feather, and small bell attached to an elastic cord.

makes you go - doh! why didn't i think of that?

check out putty power's review /demonstration of the sway.

undercover mousers

another favorite toy around here is undercover mouse. a mechanical-arm swings around under a nylon canopy, mimicking the natural movements of mice, or human feet (best prey at 5am).
