I had to share this with you guys. I picked one up when I was in New Hope today ($25) just because the box was really cute.
Fling-ama-String:
Now, my kitten has the attention span of a goldfish, so I was pretty suprised when she played with this for a half hour straight (and wasn't going to stop, we turned it off). She's playing with it right now, again. It looks really weird, but if you watch the videos of it you can see how it works. It looks like it's going to be great if your kitten wants to play but your too busy doing something else (like reading!). Plus it's really fun to watch
