I buy them all they time for my little guy and by boyfriend's kitty
too. Pier 1 Imports on Rt. 9 in Framingham has them. They're about
$.69 a piece.

| Well, if you're up to it, go to the Quincy Show this weekend. Martha
will have them there for sure! It's at the Quincy Armory.

arrangements.

| 2057.4 | peacock feathers?? | FDCV16::JOHNSON | | Tue Dec 13 1988 15:15 | 7 |
| What's with peacock feathers? Do cats like them and what do
they do with them?
Signed, ignorant!

| 2057.5 | They LOVE them | MEMV01::CROCITTO | It's Jane Bullock Crocitto now | Tue Dec 13 1988 16:38 | 21 |
| Hi BJ--
That's not so ignorant! I wouldn't have known about them, either,
if it hadn't been for this file. I got my Billie one, and it's
history now! So I was glad to see where I could get her a fresh
supply.
Cats *love* peacock feathers--mine likes to pick it up and carry
it around the house, then jump on it; administering the famous
kitty tush-hold, while tearing at it with the front paws and teeth.
After that, she likes to chew on the "quill" end. If I don't watch
it, she crunches it to shreds. It's kind of like those old men
who don't really smoke cigars, they just chew them up...
I generally don't give her the feather to play with unless I am
around. I don't want her chewing the quill until she chokes on
a piece of it.
But do get your kitties one--they will go nuts!

| 2057.6 | Potential trouble | AKOV88::BROWN | Eight (cats) is not enough | Tue Dec 13 1988 18:52 | 13 |
| Beware the peacock feathers if you have cats like mine -- I also
bought one after reading rave reviews in Feline. My cats went wild!
Then they *ATE* the feather and promptly gave it back all over the
place! Maybe they are unusual in that they often eat new things,
much like a toddler puts everything new in their mouth, but it
sure had messy results (yuck...).
My advice would be to keep a close eye on them until you know how
they treat it -- chewing is fine as long as they don't swallow!

| 2057.7 | Another great cat-toy | CRUISE::NDC | | Wed Dec 14 1988 11:00 | 11 |
| Another cat toy that my guys went wild over is something called
"Kitty-tease". I've seen it advertised in Cat Fancy and Cats
Magazines and I had the opportunity to purchase less expensively
(they aren't really that expensive, actually) at the recent
INCATS show in Boston. I was going to give it to some friends cats
but as soon as Jack showed it to Dundee it because ours. The cats
went nuts over it, especially Dundee. Its so much fun. Its just
a short "Fishing rod" type pole with a string and a folded piece
of denim on the end. But it bounces along most interestingly.
I highly recommend it.

| 2057.8 | Cat Dancer is good too! | SWAT::COCHRANE | Scattering like light. | Wed Dec 14 1988 12:19 | 11 |
| I second the "kitty tease". Not only do my cats love it, but the
company that makes them is thoughtful enough to sell replacement
string and denim!
Another great toy is called the "Cat Dancer" It's a piece of
wire with four paper-type thing tied on the end. When you wave
it around it sort of looks like a bug flying. Boogie thinks it's
"her" toy, and is apt to walk off with it while you're playing with
her!

| 2057.9 | Feathers & Cigars, huh? | FDCV13::JOHNSON | | Wed Dec 14 1988 18:08 | 12 |
| Hi Jane -- God how I laughed about the old man and his cigar.
Brought back memories of a foster father. His teeth were
always loaded with shreds of cigars.
Thanks for the peacock feather info. I'll bet Cocoa would
love it .... maybe he'd chew at it instead of Whiskie's
tummy.
Shops that sell silk flowers, huh? Thanks!

I also recomment the Kitty tease and the kitty dancer. All of my
gals LOVE them both.
Nancy, you'll be able to get both of these things at the cat show
this weekend.
