Hello Animal Lovers,

We have all played with cats before. When there isnt a laser pointer available, a shoelace or string is always handy to stimulate their natural pouncing instincts. But what do you do when you have a full cage of big cats like lions? They need stimulation and playtime too!

But a hulking full size lion sure can do a lot of damage. Oregon Zoo had a challenge in developing a safe yet strong enough toy for their big cats. They had a bunch of butcher paper on hand (for obvious reasons) so why not use that?

Pleasant Watching,
