Interactive reciprocating pet toy

A pet toy comprising:

• an elongated housing having a horizontal centerline forming a generally bulbous center section and protruding from each end of said center section with a first extension conduit forming a first egress orifice and opposite a second extension conduit forming a second egress orifice;
• a flat lower surface secured to a bottom of said elongated housing and adapted to allow the elongated housing to sit flat and securely on a planar surface;
• a reciprocating mechanism contained within said bulbous center section and comprising:
• a motor, a first target reciprocating mechanism and a second target reciprocating mechanism, wherein said first target reciprocating mechanism and said second target reciprocating mechanism are urged in a reciprocation motion for extension and retraction from each opposing ends through said first egress orifice and second egress orifice;
• a rack and pinion gear in function operation with said motor;
• a first extension shaft that physically communicates a linear reciprocating motion of the rack and pinion gear to a first target attachment coupling;
• said first extension shaft and said first target attachment coupling are aligned along the centerline and extend outward from said first egress orifice;
• a first target connected to said attachment coupling;
• a second extension shaft that physically communicates a linear reciprocating motion of the rack and pinion gear to a second target attachment coupling;
• said second extension shaft and said second target attachment coupling are aligned along the centerline and extend outward from said second egress orifice;
• and
• a second target connected to said attachment coupling.
