I love spoiling my kitties, so I ordered a panic mouse from Jeffers Pet, along with a crazy cat circle, and a catnip-fish wand. Oh, and they have beastie bands coming!

Well, I turned the panic mouse on, set it down and they all ran away, in utter and complete terror. I knew it was only a matter of time, and as I figured, Ringo was soon playing, and Lennon wasn't far behind. So here's my problem. Lennon keeps pulling the "mouse" off. He then runs and hides, very proud of himself. I then have to catch him (which is difficult, he is oh so proud!) to put it back on. Am I doing something wrong, that he can pull it off so easily? I turn it on really fast either way, and it takes a little longer...unless they work together.

They also like the crazy cat circle. It was a sort of "trial" before I invest in turbo track pieces, which I now plan on doing, since they liked it too! I have videos to share though, so here we go!

ETA: I would advise the sound going off. The dog is barking like a nut since she couldn't come out of her crate yet.

Thanks for the warning about the sound!


That Panic mouse looks a hoot. But my first thought was wow! Look at all that sleek white and black fur!


I have a turbo scratcher. Past cats loved it, but none of the current gang has ever used, it until Queen Eva came. She plays with it quite a bit.

A friend brought this panic mouse too and it works for their little bit overweight cats, I sure it's just fine for the cats...

Thank you! I am always shocked how well they keep their fur white! Ringo actually was complimented at the vet about how nice his tail is, haha.

Yes, they definitely love those toys... I just have to figure out how to keep the wand ON the panic mouse! Right now Lennon REALLY likes stealing it, silly boy!

Looks like your crew are having a lot of fun with their new toys! That panic mouse thing looks like fun, but I just imagine Genever would be afraid of it..
So I will watch your kitties play and have fun with it instead.

They definitely have fun! I don't know what to do with Lennon though. We finally got the attachment to stay on, and now he runs off with the entire panic mouse. The clip the fuzzy thing is on broke, and he ran under the bed with it, lmao. It really was funny, silly boy. Luckily it comes with a replacement, but I think Lennon is too good at this....
