Both our elderly cats love this toy. Had to get another so they both had one. It’s clearly a strong catnip as both Rocky and Evie require a high dose and this certainly hits the spot.

I really quite like these, and I think they’re quite well designed. The shape is good because when you throw them for the cats, they bounce randomly and you can spin the object in the air and it makes it more interesting for the cat.Downside – the feathers were immediately ripped from the blue one 😂 I do wish the designers of these toys could come up with a way of making feathers stay attached! Perhaps they overlook the fact cats instinctively know how to pluck birds?The pink one remains intact for now – and is the same as with many cats toys we have – in the main are generally ignored – unless the cat is in the right mood or we are interacting with the cat.I rate these four stars because the cats do respond to these and they throw well and seem well made (one star less for feather issues) 😂The cats enjoy chasing them and will interact with them, they enjoy the toy being placed on top of their scratchpost – or in other places – and they will be determined to knock it off and then they will play for a short time.I’m fairly pragmatic about this, there’s some things my cats love and others that they simply reject. Same as people they don’t all like the same stuff.Plus they grow up and they do other things to entertain themselves like chase each other or stare at birds out of windows etcSo as far as I’m concerned these toys both got a response out of the cats, I can still get a response out of the cats with these toys, they do bat them with a paw when walking past, so I’d rate it as pretty good and worth the money.

Our recently borrowed (from travelling son) two-year-old neutered tom is hard to please when it comes to toys. He has no interest in balls of any kind, or crinkly things. But these are a different matter entirely. I’ve just bought a third set in as many months. Not because they disintegrate: far from it. They are really well made. But he loves to hide them around the house. Unfortunately he is less reliable when it comes to finding them again for his twice-daily – or more – hours-long game of Fetch the Fish. He loves to play fetch with these, and only these, perhaps because they are a perfect size, weight and texture for him to carry in his mouth, just like a real mouse. We throw one and he runs madly after it, then sneaks away to plat toss-and-torture with it. Then he brings it back and we start all over again for as long as our energy and patience last. But sometimes he loses the plot, and the fish. So I need to order more to keep in stock to avoid his incessant plaintive mewing when he wants to play with them and none have come to light that day. Very highly recommended.UPDATE 2019: Whew! Found these here again! I was dreading having to explain in human to a cat who only speaks feline that he’d finally hidden all twelve of his all-time favourite toys so carefully that they were now all gone forever.When he first came to us he’d been an indoor cat, so until he could get his jabs up to date these were an essential in our kit (see what I did there?) of toys for keeping him active and entertained. And, boy! did he take some entertaining: we used to do have play fetch with these in human relays as our exhaustion set in, over several hours of fun. Plenty of fun and exercise for all concerned!Since then he’s become an enthusiastic outdoor cat, and with his patch of ‘Europe’s last great wilderness’, here in the far north west Highlands, to roam over and plenty of real mice, moles, newts (!?), and birds of all feathers to catch plus stoats to do battle with (he learned!) all just outside his cat flap, he has sadly lost interest in playing fetch. He still loves to ‘hunt’ teaser toys, and bite/lick/cuddle those realistic-looking plush fish. (A big success at first, though now he mostly prefers just to fall asleep snuggled up to them). We now have a drawer stuffed full all these as he bores quickly and needs a constantly replenished supplyBut the toys that have outlasted all, the others, both for interest and robustness — is it even possible to wear them out? — are these inexpensive little beauties.Every single morning we find at least one (sometimes as many as three if it’s been a busy night for him) outside the bedroom door. They clearly allow him to satisfy his need to ‘fetch’ some prey for us. In this alone they are a huge improvement over waking to find a real — and very much alive — mouse on the duvet, like the other morning when we’d forgotten to shut the bedroom door. They may even satisfy his need to hunt so much: we only rarely get dive bombed by live birds these days when we open our bedroom door in the morning since he’s started bringing us these. (Though I still get a start when I step sleepily on one of these on a dark morning, remembering that large, but thankfully dead for once, mole: there are some horrors that remain with you always!)So, what is it that makes these such a success? I think it’s partly to do with the size — perfect for carrying in a cat’s mouth, like he would a mouse — and the feel. They are plumply stuffed, unlike some of those rather limp ones you fill with catnip yourself, so they must seem more realistic and be much more satisfying to a feline mouth. Their size and weight also makes them perfection for batting across the room, just light enough for this to be easy on the paws, just heavy enough to move well and even bounce slightly, not just flop without moving.The netting part of it is perfect for getting claws into for picking up and throwing around and may help clean teeth, and the bright colours (to human eyes) may even be enough to register on feline retinas to some extent. They also have prominent eyes, which surely must be appealing: I’m guessing a cat is sharply aware of the eyes of a mouse it is hunting.But the key atttactor, for Jareth-the-Cat, is that they have tails: a good, strong, stitched-fabric tail. We only discovered how key the tail is, for him, when one ended up,with a bit of extra tail, when he bit through the cord that I’d used to tie it by the tail to one of his teaser rods. It was this one that he always brought to us first, clearly his favourite, his ‘prime catch’. Then I became aware that other, similar, toys we offered him were spurned and I noticed they didn’t have such predominant tails.So for a tiny amount of money you get two, plump, realistic-feeling little toys with real play appeal. So any catnip scent doesn’t last much. (Does any, except those you constantly have to re-stuff with extra catnip, and even, not last much?) They are so well designed, as if a cat had been given the brief to come up with the perfect toy, any catnip is superfluous. It has certainly long gone from the remaining two we still have, undamaged by bites or scratching but grubby from much use, but they remain favourites.Which bring me to the last excellent feature: they are really very well made indeed. Apart from the loss of one tail (human error when I was careless about removing the label: do remove it, our cat definitely preferred the ones where I’d cut it off) none of them showed even the slightest signs of wear and tear. Apart from grubbiness, they remained as good as new until they gradually got lost, or hidden. (I think Jareth hides them in the thunderstorms or very high winds which frighten him just as a mother cat might hide her kittens from danger. That’s how much of a favourite they are.)So, favourite toys going back over several years, well-designed, well-made with quality materials and workmanship to be virtually indestructible even after endless, robust games, and cheap as chips. Why are you still reading this? Go and buy them! Your cat will be delighted. (And you may have fewer mice running across your bed, too!)

Our cat hates it, no idea why but as soon as we put it near her she went up to sniff it and ran away. We have tried multiple times but and as soon as she sees it she leaves the house through her cat flap. We’ve had to throw it away. Shes never reacted like this to any toy before and loves other catnip toys.
