A helicopter or a cat toy

Just saw this for $24.95. Not quite a Picco Z but what the heck.

Is it just me, or does anyone else see veterinary bills waiting to happen if you use something like that for a cat toy?

Remember the Sky Dancers (http://www.radaronline.com/features/2006/12/sky_dancers.php)? Those little dolls that flew kind of like little helicopters and were supposedly safe because their spinning wings were soft? Read the write-up in the embedded link; those caused injuries WITHOUT motorized, counter-rotating blades.

I suspect the term "cat toy" in the description of the product is more in line with, "It's a toy that looks like a cat". I wouldn't tease my cats or dogs with something like that. Vet bills are EXPENSIVE! For what it would cost to get the animal stitched back up, I could buy a much nicer RC heli (and that doesn't even take into account the pain inflicted on the animal).
