 Not What I expectedAug 25, 2010
By OpinionsCount
I have been buying these little mice for years for my cats - a toy they seem to be obsessed with. I was disappointed in these in that they are not "real" fur, but a synthetic. They are "furry" mice, but not "fur" mice. I have not seen these before. Mine seem to prefer the fur.

 As always, depends on your kitty!Mar 28, 2010
By C. Fuller
Our cat loves these foam mice because they bounce around on our tiled floor and she can pick them up with her teeth. If your kitty loves bouncy balls then this could be a winner. However, I gave 4 stars because they're not great quality. The eyes, nose etc. are glued on when really you want something stiched (like Kong brand). I usually pick off the eyes (eek!) before I give them to our kitty, just in case she bites them off and eats them.

 Beware these are now the 'fur'mice, not 'natural'Jul 22, 2009
By D. Stimson
I have ordered the natural mice several times. The last order placed recently was switched out for the fur mice. These have carpet like outsides and the tail is of the same material. My cat won't even consider them.
When I have tried to choose the 'return' option, I cannot connect no matter what time of day I have tried. After 10 different attempts I give up. I am stuck with 12 mice. It is not just the cost of the item I am out, I am irritated that the product has been changed, but the description of the product has not been updated. What has happened to the ability to return a product that was not ordered?

Liked by my cats, durable, price OK by meMar 16, 2007
By Hugo Calendar
My cats like these, and they don't seem to have destroyed them, either. It keeps the cats from destroying too much else in my house.
The only cons are that they fit under furniture better than some toys, and so get lost easier, and they're pretty hard and hurt my feet if I step on them with bare feet in the dark of night.

Please use caution with this toy!May 19, 2011
By K Clark
Initially I thought this was going to be a great toy for my two cats. My female, Calypso, decided she was not interested in this toy at all. My male, Devereaux, was definitely interested in this toy. Like a previous reviewer, I pulled off some of the glued-on pieces in addition to cutting most of the tail off so my cat wouldn't pull them off himself and eat them.
For the first three days I was impressed with how this toy was holding up. I did see bite marks in the foam from Dev's teeth, but it wasn't falling apart. The last I saw of this toy was when I saw Dev swat it under a sofa, and I didn't see him playing with it for the next couple weeks.
Then I noticed Dev's activity level had slowed down, and I would see him paw at the side of his face from time to time. Thinking he must have a sore tooth I made an appointment with our vet. The appointment was two days away, and in that amount of time Dev stopped eating or drinking water. Just hours before his appointment I got the first hint of what was wrong with him--he threw up a small chunk of something pink. It was then that I realized that he had eaten this foam toy mouse! Because it is made of a hard, dense foam, it compacted with his chewing, but then expanded again in his stomach. The foam acted much like foam ear plugs that people use--you roll them into a tight roll and put them in your ears, and then they expand in your ears to shut out noise. After the foam expanded in Dev's stomach, he couldn't readily throw up the pieces of foam, and they couldn't pass into his intestinal tract to be expelled that direction, either. Dev ended up at the local ER clinic having his stomach scoped, and they pulled the "huge chunks of pink, rubbery material" (their words) back out through his mouth. Believe me, it was one very large vet bill.
If your cat is the type to play gently with toys and not chew on things, this toy might be appropriate for your cat. But if you have young cats who still investigate everything with their mouth, or if you have cats that are a bit more aggressive with their toys, you might want to find sturdier toys.
