Abstract
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.
