[0038] Among them, the housing 10 is used to form the outer shell of the pet toy.

[0039] Among them, the attracting component is a structure for interacting with pets, which increases the interest of pets in pet toys. This pet toy is mainly aimed at small domestic pets such as cats. Most pet cats are very curious and have a strong interest in moving objects. The attracting component includes a first attracting member 20, and the first attracting member 20 can move back and forth telescopically in the first through hole 13. When a pet cat sees it, it will pounce on and play with the first attracting member 20 to interact with the pet toy. Preferably, the first attracting member 20 is arranged inside the housing 10, and the attractant of the first attracting member 20 will extend and retract from the housing 10 along the first through hole 13. The first attracting member 20 can attract pets by telescoping in the first through hole 13, has extremely strong attraction for pets with strong curiosity, and will attract pets to interact and play with the first attracting member 20, providing companionship for the pets.

[0040] Furthermore, the first attracting member 20 includes a first connecting arm and a second connecting arm. One end of the second connecting arm is rotatably connected to the first connecting arm, and an attractant (not shown in the figure) is provided at the other end of the second connecting arm. The attractant can be a structural member such as a feather, a plush toy or a luminous object, etc. The end of the first connecting arm away from the second connecting arm is connected to the driving component, so that the driving component can drive the first connecting arm to rotate. The first connecting arm then drives the second connecting arm to swing relative to the first connecting arm. At the same time, several limiting parts are also arranged inside the housing 10, and there is a first through hole 13 between two adjacent limiting parts. When the second connecting arm touches the limiting part during swinging, it can extend out of the first through hole 13 along the limiting part to attract pets. When the first connecting arm continues to rotate, it will drive the second connecting arm to swing and touch the limiting part, so that the second connecting arm rotates relative to the first connecting arm, and then the second connecting arm is retracted into the housing 10. In this way, by driving the first connecting arm to rotate, the second connecting arm can cycle and telescope in any first through hole 13.

[0041] It can be understood that the first attracting member 20 includes a telescopic rod. One end of the telescopic rod is connected to the driving component, and an attractant is provided at the other end. The driving component can drive the telescopic rod to expand and contract, thereby driving the attractant to expand and contract in the first through hole 13.
