I got him one of these, and he loves it...

He seems to like to be able to swat and catch something
that has a bit of substance to it.

I feel the same way about laser pointers- I think they frustrate and confuse
the cat because the know they "caught it" but when they lift their paw its
gone.

Get one of these; its based on the same principal as yours, but you can cast
the lure on the Catfisher up to 40'. You can change the lures to provide
your cat with new challenges to keep him interested. You can also replace
the lure with a plastic clothespin to hold a treat. This way he'll get the
trill of the hunt and the reward of the catch!
