Hey there, we filter out Amazon links that include the "ref" part of the URL. The only part of the URL that is needed is what I left in my quote above. The part I removed (and obfuscated) can lead to specific sellers, which is not something we allow here. Just a heads up for later!
ping /u/RunTiffy since you won't be notified of this comment otherwise and you should see the link that was provided. :)
I got mine to lose weight by getting a few interactive toys for him to enjoy during the day while I'm at work. He goes crazy for the bouncy mouse that hangs from the door frame. It makes him really jump for it. Just don't put it in a doorway with lots of breakable things around.
Here's the Amazon link to the same product, but the Amazon price is a bit inflated. I got the exact same one at WinCo for $3 and I'm sure you can find something very similar in most pet stores for less: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002DJ6XW/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_WIXNEbWACMB5M
I'm sorry, I don't know of a remedy, but I want to share that a friend's cat chewed through a lamp wire and electrocuted itself when they were out of the house.
Maybe you can find a string-type toy that hangs off a door or something and get him to play with that instead.
I know someone who has this and their cat really likes it.
I got it on Amazon. :) The toy hangs off of door frames, though I actually haven’t used it much since that video was taken since my cat kept loudly flinging the toy into the ceiling, and I have neighbors upstairs.

Another bungee toy that hangs off doorknobs and is much quieter: JW Pet Company Spring String Cat Toy https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002Q41UFC?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf I leave this out for the cats to play with without supervision, but I have to keep an eye on them when I use the one in the video.
ok my cat's all time favorite toy is this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002DJ6XW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
(but I wait until the price drops to $2-$3...not worth more) but of course she demands I play with her with it...rather than put it up on the door! (although it could be a self play toy)

this is the robot toy we got her. It's not cheap but I appreciate you can clip almost anything onto it and it comes with a ton of add-ons. And it has free returns so you can Trial it for a month. but...she prefers to play with people! this helps in between sometimes.
Thank you! Here’s an Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002DJ6XW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I included an Amazon link in the comments. I wasn’t sure if it would be allowed in the post because I didn’t want it to be seen as an advertisement post.
Here’s the link though: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002DJ6XW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
It’s on Amazon: Ethical A-Door-Able Bouncing... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002DJ6XW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
