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.

My B-day was Sat. June 2nd & my husband (of 33 yrs) surprised me w/a beautiful kitten (Saber). We have 5 grown children & 3 beautiful grandchildren & 2 dogs, but he has always claimed to be cat allergic:)! Either way, Saber is our upstairs/indoor sweetie & we both marvel @ his sweet nature (part Maine coon) and amazing vitality!! This solar toy looks perfect!! C.Noel
