Cats have a tendency to be devious little fur balls that love nothing more than to pounce on an unsuspecting inanimate object.  That or bat at an object off in the distance while safely sitting in a window.  My cat used to do that last one at birds, then one managed to get into the house and the cowardly thing ran and hid under the couch.  If you have an equally cowardly kitty you might pick up one of these cat toys.

It will keep them entertained for at least two minutes, without the fear of being attacked back.  I swear it does have an electronic twist though, seeing as how this is a gadget site.  This extremely hi-tech device will wave a string around to drive your cat even more insane than it already is.  It has two different speeds and uses 3 AA batteries.  While your feline friend is going nuts over this gadget, you can enjoy the fun as much as the time you bought a laser pointer to cause it to do back flips just trying to catch the moving dot.  The Fling-Ama-String Cat Toy will end up costing you $29.95.
