Abstract
An amusement and entertainment device for pets, particularly felines. The device has a weighted base with a curved outer surface. A fan within the base directs a flow of air into a transparent viewing chamber which contains one or more flying particles which have the appearance of flying insects will dart and fly about in the chamber. The particles may be luminescent to glow in the dark. The device will appeal to the animal's stalking instincts and will return to an upright position when pawed or struck.
