xVannon Flapping Bird Cat Toy: Indoor Enrichment You Can See, Hear, and Feel
Designed for curious indoor cats, the Vannon Flapping Bird Toy combines soft, plush texture with a playful, responsive motion. When a paw or wand reaches the bird, the toy springs to life with a lifelike flapping wing and a gentle chirp. The blue-toned exterior and tactile surfaces invite gentle swats, pounces, and snuggles, turning quiet hours into engaging, multi-sensory play sessions.
What makes this cat toy interesting is the tiny, rechargeable power core that keeps play flexible. A built-in mechanism activates on touch and then pauses after roughly 20 seconds, creating a natural rhythm that cats can anticipate and chase. You can restart the motion by giving the wings another quick beat, inviting repeated rounds of playful interaction. This design supports exploratory behavior and active movement without requiring constant supervision.
