Cat Toys & Enrichment
Self-play feather toy. Keeps cats entertained when you're not home.
✦ Why we chose it
For cats left alone 8+ hours a day, self-play toys are essential. The PetFusion Ambush's unpredictable movement is the key differentiator — cats can't predict it, so they stay engaged far longer than with static toys.
The PetFusion Ambush is an electronic feather toy that moves unpredictably — popping out of holes at random intervals to trigger the hunt-and-pounce response. Unlike static toys, the unpredictable movement keeps cats engaged for 20–30 minutes at a time. It has a built-in timer that runs 5-minute sessions with rest periods, preventing overstimulation.

Cons
