A pet toy is provided for the pet toy having an elongated housing with a flat lower surface secured to a bottom of said elongated housing and adapted to allow the elongated housing to sit flat and securely on a planar surface. A reciprocating mechanism contained within said center section and comprising a motor that physically communicates a linear reciprocating motion of a rack and pinion gear to a pair of opposed targets aligned along the centerline and extend outward from said first egress orifice. The target appendages are each comprised of a flexible, conformable and compressible member adapted to be withdrawn into the respective egress orifice and alternately extend outward from the respective egress orifice.

A pet toy is provided having a hemispherical housing having a dome shaped lower surface and a motor mechanism contained within a volume formed by the housing and beneath a planar upper housing lid providing a closed upper surface to the housing. The planar lid forms a rectangular aperture. A rotating barrel shaft is mounted horizontally disposed and within the aperture such that the cylindrical outer surface that extends partially above the planar upper housing lid. The barrel shaft is rotated by the motor mechanism such that the cylindrical outer surface moves along the same plane as an upper surface of the upper lid. The cylindrical outer surface forms a receiving recess. A visually attractive target is frictionally impinged within the receiving recess. When the shaft rotates causing the outer surface to moves about the aperture such that during rotation, the target is thereby rotated about the aperture, wherein the plume element 'appears' through the aperture during a portion of the shafts rotation.

A generally circular enclosure is provided defining a generally circular track about which a prey decoy is located and travels. Openings or apertures in its housing permitting the prey decoy to travel about the track. The prey decoy is secured to a rotating wheel that imparts a rotary motion about the circular shaped track. The prey decoy is further spring urged in a vertical direction, perpendicular to the plane of rotational motion. The track opening has at least one break, making it noncontiguous. As the decoy is deployed about the track and impinges against the housing at the break in the track, the decoy is urged downward, and subsequently is urged upward when it reaches the track opening at the opposing side of the break. This circular motion in which the prey decoy appear to be moving upward and downward as it travels about the circular path stimulates the animal to paw at and engage the prey.
