Abstract
A toy is provided that simulates hide-and-seek or peekaboo action moving randomly in and out in a non-sequential pattern about the housing, thereby catching the pet's attention and stimulating the animal's instinctive curiosity. An outer housing forms a travel guide defining a travel path of a generally concave polygon pattern. A motorized mechanism contained within the housing urges an elongated, flexible target about the travel guide so that the target can pass by egress openings located at the vertices in a bidirectional, random fashion.
