Stick Thingy-Me-Jig R&D...

We did say that the latest version of our Stick Thingy probably wouldn’t be the last & we were right - we are looking at a special single ended version of our Stick Thingy that has a handle, which would take interchangeable wands with different end designs.

Stick Thingy was designed as a double ended felt wand toy so that each end could be used until worn - this version would have a single ended felt wand that gets replaced when your cat has finished getting their claws into it.

A stainless steel 10mm diameter 100mm long handle will mean that’s it’s easier to hold & grip - it will also undoubtedly help with precision play to perfect those shimmying, flicking, parrying, waggling moves.

We are fabricating a sample & will be experimenting with different design felt wand sections that have various combinations of fingers & thumbs - the standard two finger end will feature along with three & four finger variants but thumbs have also been created, which can be cut into customer created designs as shown in the examples below.

This R&D piece was prompted by Thomas, from Rimini in Italy, & he & his cats Duma & Loki will be helping us with product testing in between playing on their recently acquired XL SixToo™, which they attached themselves to as soon as it came through the front door.
