Trying to find this bumblebee cat toy

This may be a long shot but I recently met a cat in London that absolutely loves this toy which is starting to fall apart. I’ve tried searching online but haven’t been able to find it.

It’s a bumblebee attached to a fishing rod-style cat toy, with a little bell on the end. I also included the rod grip in the images since it seemed quite well made and unique. The bee is glittery, quite small and a bit hard. The toy seems quite well made and not flimsy/ plasticy.

Would anyone have a clue where I can find a toy like this? Sorry for the blurry photos, they’re from videos I’ve taken of the cat playing with it. He came with this toy when he moved to his new place so it made have some sentimental value to him but I hope a new one is as good!

Hi, I’ve been a long time lurker here and had a pretty unsettling experience in London today. I’m new to the country and while walking with my husband, we came across a teenage boy (maybe around 15 I think?) throwing sticks at a man. It seemed weird but we kept moving.

A little bit later the same boy started following my husband and tried to throw something at him. I noticed and told him to stop but then he kept getting into our personal space. Soon a few more kids joined him and there were about 3 - 4 of them following us for a while. They were basically calling us names and throwing things at us. One of the girls called me a b*tch as well.

We eventually stopped outside a shop as I wanted to order something via the shop’s online portal. Maybe they thought we might be reporting them because they left shortly after. I did keep checking because I do not want these kids to know where I live.

I found the whole situation a bit frightening and frustrating. This happened near Hammersmith and I’m wondering how common this kind of behaviour is and what the best way to handle it would be if it happens again. They seemed mostly like kids looking for trouble but one of them was bigger and had his face covered with only his eyes visible. I also considered taking a photo but my husband said that you cannot take photos of kids and that the police would not take our side. I just wanted a photo as proof of them following us. I’d really appreciate any advice on how to stay safe in situations like this.
