Wooden Whack-a-Mole Pet Toy

The whack-a-mole gameyour pet will drag you back to.

You pop the little critters up through the five holes. Your cat or pup hunts them down. Ten minutes of this beats an hour of a toy they ignore.

A bored pet is a 3 a.m. pet.

Cats and small dogs are built to stalk, ambush and pounce - and when nothing lets them, they take it out on your ankles, your curtains and your sleep. Passive toys lie on the floor. This one fights back.

You pop. They pounce. Repeat until exhausted.

Slide the critter pegs up through any of the five holes from underneath - or poke them in from the side openings - and your pet's hunting brain switches on. Random pops,random holes, no pattern to predict.It's the same "where did it go?" instinct that makes a mouse under arug irresistible.

Solid pine, not plastic.

Smooth-sanded natural wood that looks like furniture, not a pet toy -and survives years of claws. No batteries, no motor, no plastic shards.The pegs are chunky enough that even a hard swipe won't send them flying.
