Here’s a fun way to keep kitty entertained without the hassle and expense of replacing batteries every other day. It’s a new cat toy called the Solar Chaser. Simply attach the base of the toy to any window in direct sunlight and the solar cell automatically activates the moving rod with a dangling toy. It’s a pretty cool idea!
They sent me one to test and I’m quite impressed. The large suction cups hold the base on the window securely and the solar cell works immediately when exposed to direct sun. The cats love the dangly toy and I love that I don’t have to buy batteries!
The rod is removable, letting you detach it from the base and play with kitty after dark. The Solar Chaser is available directly from solarchasers.com for $29.95.

cool toy!

The kitty looks like he is having a good time playing with it!

I’m sure my kitties would enjoy this!
May 31st, 2012 at 7:47 pm
This would be amazing for my totally psycho cat.
May 31st, 2012 at 7:53 pm
This is so cool! My arm always gets tired from swinging the cat toy around… (:

This is really great and environmentally conscious. Other chasers eat through batteries too fast to be left on for my kitties
May 31st, 2012 at 9:06 pm
That’s actually very clever, I like the idea.
May 31st, 2012 at 9:13 pm
We want that toy!
May 31st, 2012 at 9:29 pm
Brilliant! The super shy cats we foster would love to be able to play with this when we’re not around!
May 31st, 2012 at 9:37 pm
This looks like fun! It would be great exercise for my chunky boys who love to chase toys.
May 31st, 2012 at 9:47 pm
Never seen one of these before. Cool toy for your cat when you’re not with them. The fact that it’s solar definitely puts it up there at the top for toys to buy for my kittens.
May 31st, 2012 at 9:59 pm
Oh my kitties would love this! How cool and what a great idea!
May 31st, 2012 at 10:29 pm
Oh, my fat cats could use some exercise while we’re out of the house. Plus, it just looks plain FUN for them!! What a great idea.

I have been trying to get my 6 yer old cat to play but have had no luck. This is a terrific idea that might actually keep her entertained and motivated to play while I am at work. I hope I win.

Bean will either be completely terrified or ready to go to war. Either way, it will rock! xo
