The present invention includes a mechanical roping apparatus and method for practicing animal roping, the apparatus comprising: a animal assembly that provides an up and down motion and simulates a hopping motion by the animal; a leg assembly mounted at the rear of the frame wherein the leg members are movable with respect to the frame and stimulate a running motion; an actuation assembly to move the leg members from a forward position to a rear position; and one or more indicia that indicates to the user when the leg members are in an optimal position for roping, and then they are not accessible for roping and then the legs are accessible for roping.

An improved pet cat toy, including main body, where main body is made of textile material and has hollow interior, wall of main body is provided with first opening and second opening on different sides, first opening is provided with first outer interlayer that includes open seal and can open and close first opening, second opening is provided with perspective second outer interlayer, inner interlayer including open seal is disposed between first opening and second opening, interior of main body is divided into first cavity and second cavity, and catnip capable of being replaced is filled in first cavity and second cavity separately. The present utility model is reasonably designed, has simple structure, can expose part of catnip, and enhances attraction to pet cat and master thereof. Besides, internal catnip can be replaced in time and conveniently, enduringly keep the toy attractive, and the toy can be recycled, lowering cost.

A small animal lifting device has a u-shaped portion, a connector, and a handle. The u-shaped portion includes spaced apart tines that allow an animal's legs to pass through and extend beyond the tines and at the same time cradle the animal's body for lifting and transport. The connector links the handle to the tines and maintains the spaced apart arrangement of the tines. The handle is preferably centered with the u-shaped portion so the animal can be lifted based on its center of gravity.

A team roping dummy that encourages more correct roping. The dummy head can be rotated to different angles to match that of a typical running steer. A blocker post extends vertically out of the neck, which makes the roper deliver the loop at the proper plane. The blocker post further causes the roper to rope the horns in the center of the loop versus roping with the front or back edge of loop. The back legs extend at proper angle of heel loop swing, causing the roper to match the angle of the loop during its swing to the angle of the legs and provides a visual line to match the plane of the loop.
