Mugi's Sparring Partner: Dinosaur Hand Puppet

Fight your cat. Keep your fingers.

You've seen the videos: a human with a dinosaur on their hand, a cat losing its entire mind. Mugi has a standing appointment with this thing. He wins most rounds. He thinks.

• Soft rubber hand puppet with a mouth that opens and closes
• Hand-painted look, about 16 cm long, fits most adult hands
• Choose your opponent: T-Rex, Triceratops, Spitter, or the Hippo (not a dinosaur, still scary)

Why a puppet beats your bare hand

Play-fighting with your bare hand teaches a cat that hands are prey. The puppet gives them something to wrestle, kick and bite while your skin stays out of it.

Mugi's verdict: "Round 47. Undefeated. Do not check the footage."

A play-time toy, not a chew toy: supervise play, check it for bite damage and put it away after the fight.
