hmmm...i remember buying something very similar to the "New ice cube tray/cooler by Eva Solo:" from the Moma Shop a few years ago as a present - so not sure its really New! :-)
I made my own cat toy because Psche has destroyed everything else.
Its made of a 36" long and 1/16" piece of carbon fiber wand (from a kite manufacturer) with a wooden handle glued on one end.
The other end I rubber band a handfull of feathers. After awhile the feathers fall off, but thats easy to fix by adding another handful.
she does not seem to be amused by laser pointers too much.
just wanted to put my 2 cents in: andy cao --- glass designer turned landscape architect -- was one of the first people i ever heard of to develop glass mulch and utilize recycled glass in the landscape. he deserves the props for the idea.
