Go Cat Cat Catcher Teaser Wand with Mouse Cat Toy

Great toy, I’ve purchased about five of these now because they do wear out over time and the fur comes off of the mouse, but overall it’s an awesome toy. My cats favorite

My cat is obsessed with this!

I'll start by saying that my cats absolutely LOVE this toy! I have a very tiny 5 month old girl, and a large male a little over a year old, and they both enjoy it equally. In fact, I've told everyone I know about this toy, as well as its featherd cousin type, and not one single person has reported anything other than absolutely glowing reports from their kitties. It seems that cats of all sizes and ages agree that this toy is one of their favorites.To the humans however, this is an odd little object that fails to impress. Given the choice, I would certainly select a much fancier, more refined toy. Does that matter though? No, my feline family members strongly disagree with my assessment, and are clearly the voice of reason......It's A MOUSE?! What more do we need to say?! Seriously, the cats really do behave as if this simple little object is actually a live mouse they've been fortunate enough to encounter in their own living room. They have chased and played with this toy until they've literally fallen over with their tongues hanging out in exhaustion.Now.......Having spent time singing this toy's praises, I'll also explain why I advise you to use caution.This toy is not well designed; it fails to offer any practical safety assurances at all. Firstly, it's just connected to a plain wire that easily splits into small, sharp edges. Please carefully monitor the condition of the wire, especially if your cat is a chewer. Assume that it's fragile, and remember it's not durable, so it will need to be discarded right away if it shows any wear. It will otherwise easily cut your kitty's mouth.Secondly, the wire can easily turn into an unintentional weapon. During a play session, it's not uncommon to whip your little guy in the body or face with a swinging wire (maybe more than once, depending on how tough your kitty is with the mouse). Trust me, you'll feel awful! The sad part is that there's very little you can do to avoid such an accidental mishap. As I said, it's obviously a poor choice in materials.Lastly, I have to complain about how easy it is for even a gentle cat to destroy this cheap "mouse" creature. (I would actually like to avoid calling this awful gray thing a "mouse", but for space/time considerations, I think it's the easiest term.) So, the gray mouse lump item is about the size of your thumb, assuming your thumb isn't at all larger than the average woman's. The object has a pitiful piece of fabric for a "tail", which at least at my house, is immediately lost somewhere under the couch midway through the first play session. Even worse yet, there's only a round plastic piece, glued on with awful, cheap glue, that serves as the mouse's face. Now, I understand that our cats do not care if their toys have a proper set of eyes, and ears, or a nose and mouth for that matter. However, at around $10.00 a piece, I would just feel better if the company would at least bother to add a durable tail, and maybe an eye or two.In conclusion, I'll admit that I have spent approximately $100.00 on replacements for this stupid toy. So, even though it's priced way above a reasonable amount, and I have very real safety concerns about it, I've obviously continued to buy the mouse. There's only one reason.........my babies just absolutely love it.

Go Cat Cat Catcher Teaser Wand with Mouse Cat toy - BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS!!!! I thought I would give this cat toy a try. You know, add to my collection of cat toys that are now in a toy box because he never uses them? He never touches any of them. I don't know why I keep trying. I decided I would try just ONE MORE because it's now vital that Teamer gets exercise. He is very overweight and I was desperate. I am in shock, here. He is 20 pound indoor cat and finds it almost impossible to jump up on anything or play, anymore, because of his weight. My vet ordered my Teamer on a strict diet to avoid diabetes. I was also encouraged to get him motivated. Yeah, right. I have daily migraines and other health issues that make it very hard for me to play with Teamer. I even contemplated letting him outside, which is the last thing I wanted to do. This toy was like "the answer" to me and Teamer. I thank the manufacturer of this mouse toy and Amazon.com for carrying it. It has changed our lives. Because now he has a toy that I think is magical because I'm almost wondering myself, if it is a real mouse! Lol. He goes wild over it, exerting tons of energy. It really is a miracle. All I have to do is wave it around on the ground or fling it above his head and he jumps up, spins around and "gets" it and takes it away! Or I throw it down the flight of stairs, and he RUNS so fast to the bottom and "catches" it. He even sometimes plays with it on his own. When I get up in the morning, he is sometimes lying next to it. It has become his "go to thing" instead of food! He actually carries the whole thing, wand and all, just as a cat would a real mouse. He holds it in his jaws until he thinks it's dead; shakes it and then drops it a special place, and looks at it. All the things they would do with a real mouse. It really is amazing. He acts like a kitten again, something I never thought I would see. The design of it has what it takes. It doesn't look like anything special to me. I think it must have been designed by a cat! Ha. It also has some hardware on the mouse that mimics mouse parts, somehow. THANK YOU so much! I think you may have saved Teamer's life and you have made mine a whole lot less worrisome! God Bless.
