Using the KONG Flingaroo Dragonfly is easy. Just hold the base and give it a good fling, and watch as your cat chases after it. You can also wiggle the legs and antennae to attract your cat's attention. For solo play, simply leave it in an open area where your cat can bat and drag it around. When it comes to safety, make sure there's enough space for your cat to run and jump without hitting anything. Also, check the toy regularly for any signs of damage. If parts are coming loose or the catnip is running out, it might be time for a new one. To keep the toy clean, you can use a damp cloth to wipe it down. This will help maintain its appeal and ensure it stays a favorite with your cat.
