Spike's birthday was back in the beginning of April. I tried giving him a CatSpa for his birthday, which he completely ignored. So I ended up giving that to his cousins, and I've been looking for a replacement gift for months. Finally, a friend called and said that PetSmart had the Panic Mouse in stock, which I was thrilled about, since others have said how much their cats like that toy. So I go and buy it, and stop at AC Moore on my way home. (It's an arts & crafts store.) Anyway, I ended up getting some pipe cleaners to play with Spike with. I've read that others' cats love playing with them, so I thought, what the heck?
I take them both home, and Spike likes Panic Mouse for about 2 minutes. He barely cared for it at all the next day when I turned it on. But he did get at it when it was stationary (and supposedly out of his reach) and chewed off all three tails!
And he LOVES the pipe cleaners. I bend them a little and toss them onto his cat tree, and he jumps up, and grabs them, and runs off with them in his mouth. And he's been playing with them everyday since I brought them home.
So my cat chooses the pipe cleaners (approx $3 for 20) over the $30 Panic Mouse. I'd consider returning it if he hadn't chewed off the tails... darn cat.
