As you will see from the series of pictures the effect we were looking for, we certainly got! D'light had a magnificent time and it warmed our hearts to see him so happy. Well worth the drive and all that went into this adventure.
I will say that with D'light, the more we use the lure the more intense his prey drive. For us this doesn't matter - we will never have a cat and we manage him on walks when he see's small critters and now rolling items that he think may be the end of lure.
So, for us reinforcing his prey drive is a behavior we want despite it producing any negative consequences. To watch D'light have these moments of sheer delight is heartwarming and we are happy that we can assist him finding joy in his life.

"I have to get it!!" |
Here's some of it on video - talk about Mr. Intense!
and from whining he goes to screaming to get at the lure |
And it's finally his turn!
The pictures below were taken by Jumoke Photography, a professional photographer for the event.
Run rattie run!!
What fun we had!!
And at the end of the day, we had a very happy and tired rattie boy!
