We got a belated Xmas present from my MIL in the mail a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't had a chance to post about it.

Do any of you have this toy? Or have you heard of it? It's called "Pump and Run." It's supposedly a scratching thing/toy, but the scratching area is so small I can't imagine they'd ever use it for that.

But it's a circle on the floor, with a half circle sticking up, and it has a mouse on a lever inside the semi-circle. It's got a little hand help air pump you can use to make a mouse go back and forth from one side of the semi-circle to the other (enclosed). Our cats go NUTS trying to "catch" the mouse, which only pokes partly out a hole on either side. They have just as much fun poking it themselves (it moves without the air pump).

(Let's see if I can get this link stuff to work):
Lazlo can't help himself!


Maybe if the all gang up on it?....


...or Spooky figures if she tries a different angle, perhaps....


Shelly's plan is for a sneak attack, now that the others have pushed it down the stairs:

Hey Kass - I could see it in my first post - I assume you couldn't? I went in and deleted the "org.jpg" that was at the end of the thread I copied from imagestation - does it work now?

Kellye - I don't know where she got it! She sent it to us from Chicago (I know. The postage probably cost more than the toy. She always sends us stuff, dear woman.) I'll ask her if it's a chain store or just something local.

We can see them now! You could see them before because you were logged into your imagestation account.

That is so neat! I want one!


I hope you can find out where she got it, I've never seen anything like it either.

Thanks, Kass! Gary's mom couldn't remember, so of course she had to go out and find it. It was called Petland Discount. Because she wasn't sure if there would be one near people who were interested in purchasing one, she gave me the name of the manufacturer!

Just in case anyone wants to know, since his mom put so much work into it, despite Kass having found the link to the product (!), I'll go ahead and post the info!


Ethical Products, Inc.
216 First Avenue
Newark, NJ 07107

You can buy replacement mouse for the toy by sending $8.
