This toy has a reasonably sturdy pole, an elastic cord, and a cute little plush mouse. The slightest movement causes it to make a shrill EE-EE-EE-EE-EE noise. You cannot turn this off.
My two cats love it - they get very excited by the squeaking and it's a definite improvement over silent toys. It is currently wrapped in a scrap of furry fabric and stuffed into the cat-toy-drawer. It goes off when I walk past.
Buy it if you hate peace, quiet, and the people you live with.
Pros:
- Cat bloody loves it.
- Will play with it for absolutely ages, favourite toy.
Cons:
- Squeaks every time you move it, so if you plan to 'hide it' when playtime is over (which I would recommend, for the cat's safety) you need to put it in a different room where the cat doesn't go and you're not going to accidentally knock it. Otherwise the cat WILL find it. And she WILL steal it.
- Feathers were gone after about 1-2 weeks.
- Squeaker is about to fall out after a month/ish
My cat (Shadow)loves this toy! he went into the box where I'd hidden it & unwrapped it before I gave it to him. He loves the "wiggly-ness" & the squeak.
The only probolem with it is that he bit holes in the stick & ruined the elastic only a couple of days after he got it, Otherwise, a great toy & I would still reccomend it.
This arrived last night and our kitten immediately went crazy for it! The sound was a bit annoying but he seemed to love it! Unfortunately, when i got it out this morning, there wasn't a sound to be heard from the mouse. It doesn't seem to have dampered his enthusiasm for it though although I'm a bit disappointed it broke so quickly.
I forgot this toy was meant to squeak, i pulled the little tag that said PULL, and now i cant put it back in! The cats love it though as it sounds like a litte tiny bird. Well i think my cat likes it, he hisses and growls at it! Its quite amusing for me to watch him get so worked up over a little mouse! The feather tail is still on. Just wish i could stop it from sqeaking sometimes!
