I may be disowned by my cat

cosmo's mom · Jan 3, 2006

I am new to this site and look forward to chatting with each and everyone of you. I hate to start asking for favorites right away but I am in desperate need of your assitance.
Cosmo has allowed me to be his mother for the past 5 1/2 years, however, he may disown me soon. His favorite mouse toy is no longer available at my local supermarket (Stop & Shop), the only store I have seen them in. They come in a package of 3-5, they are 2 1/2 inches in length with a gray front part of the body and a black back half. The feathers (approx. 2inches) vary in colors. He loves them because they rattle.
Any help in finding them would be greatly appreciated! (Middletown, RI, USA)

Thank you to all of you! As soon as I can, I'll show a picture of the prized mouse. I am completely computer illiterate - as soon as my husband gets home from his basketball game I will have him attach it. I haven't tired Ebay - thanks maverick_kitten for the idea!
Fwan - I tried the store - they looked at me like I had two heads! Apparently, not to many people are willing to search high and low for cat toys!

Have you tried the Stop and Shops in Newport? If you do post a pic, I am close to the S&S in Bristol, and I can check there.

Well, they certainly haven't met anyone else from TCS then!

Have you looked at any of the online stores that specializes in cat toys? Do you know the brand of the coveted toy mouse?

Here's a couple to try:

Plain Brown Tabby
Catnip Etc.
Or just look on the Meowhoo page for Cat Toys & Entertainment

Thank you! They are very very similar! Thank you sooo much!

Hi Abbysmom, I have tired both Stop and Shops in Newport as well as in Bristol. I have been at my wits end!

Good luck with finding your kitty's favorite toy. Cats can be picky, huh?

Don't stress over it too much, though. I'm sure he could be happy with a similar toy, right, huh??....Yeah, right!

Well I do hope you find it soon.

Thanks Sweetie Cat 3

maverick_kitten · Jan 3, 2006

i cant reccomend Plain Brown Tabby toys enough! if you cant find those mice, i'm sure you can find something good there!

The Tractor Supply Company here in town sells the most wonderful mice toys that are small and rattle- the only toys my girls will play with. I found them online here-

They go nuts for these things. You can buy them individually or in packs of 4 or 12. They have some that look as you described. My vet also sold them.

He does love his food.... sometimes I think more then he loves me!
But he makes up for it every morning around 3 when he wants to be petted and kissed!

Hi!!!

Is this what you are looking for?

It does rattle. I found it at the Petco in Seekonk this morning.

I may be disowned by my cat
