Patent ID: 6899059

Claim:
A toy for pets comprising: a) a convex hub that is circular about a central axis so that it may roll on a smooth surface, and b) two reservoirs that are circular about a central axis so that they may roll on a smooth surface, c) said reservoirs extending axially in opposite directions from said hub along a common radial axis, d) at least one of said reservoirs extending axially elongated beyond a hemispherical shape, e) said hub having a circumferential crown larger in circumference than said reservoirs and establishing the largest outer profile of the toy such that the reservoirs are contained entirely within a cylindrical space established by an imaginary cylindrical envelope extending through the circumferential crown, and spaced entirely inwardly from the cylindrical envelope to permit raising, lowering, wobbling or tilting of the reservoirs as the toy rolls on the hub along the, surface, f) said reservoirs having an inner cavity that may be filled with catnip, g) said reservoirs having a plurality of holes through which the scent of catnip may emanate, h) said holes being small enough to substantially contain finely cut catnip, i) each reservoir having an opening through which catnip may be inserted into the reservoir or removed from the reservoir, j) said reservoirs being detachably connected in fixed relation through the hub to each other by means of screw threads.
