One good tap sends the spiral wobbling and twisting before it settles back, ready for the next round.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe spiral arm leads to a small rod holder sized for a thin, straight rod. Stick a feather, puffball, string, or whatever your cat is currently obsessed with on the end, and you’ve got a simple swatting target that moves in a way cats seem to find endlessly interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base assembles from a long base plate and two triangular support brackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eV2 Updates (based on your feedback):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdded chamfered mounting holes\u003c\/strong\u003e so you can bolt this thing to a wall, desk, cat tree, or any nearby surface brave enough to host it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring mount upgraded to a glorious heptagon socket\u003c\/strong\u003e (7 sides for anyone counting at home).
