INTERACTIVE CAT TOY: The OurPets Backyard Collection Cat toys encourage physical play and mental stimulation by appealing to your cat’s natural instincts. Your cat is ensured a fulfilling play experience by providing them with a cat toy that has an enticing Real Critter sound and a catnip scent
REAL CRITTER ELECTRONIC SOUND: Play-N-Squeak cat toys feature an electronic sound module that, when batted, makes a realistic squeaking mouse sound, providing safe, indoor prey and fueling your cat’s desire to stalk and chase
MENTAL & PHYSICAL STIMULATION: Cats need mental stimulation from play to keep from being bored and to fulfill their hunting instincts. Physical activity from play acts as a workout, keeping cats physically fit and enriches the pet’s quality of life and fosters a healthy relationship between the pet and their parents
RELEIVES STRESS, ANXIETY & BOREDOM: Play provides more than just exercise. Play also relieves anxiety, stress, and boredom. When indoor cats do not have toys to play with, that is when they supplement their playful instincts with anything they can find around the house; curtains, toes, shoelaces, etc
CATNIP FILLED: Plush is filled with enticing catnip so there is no mess. Great for cats of all ages

Super great toy for many hours of playing
This little squirrel is so freaking cute. It’s tiny so the cats can carry it around in their mouth. The noise maker is a little quieter than others I’ve ordered – but that’s actually a good thing. Most of them are so loud I have to put them away at night because they disturb our sleep. The cats get the zoomies and play with this squirrel all night. It’s not so loud that it wakes us. Thank goodness.The louder ones and this one are popular during the day. I like this one the best because they can carry it in their mouth. And they do!We play a game titled “get the mouse” where I say that and throw it and my cat fetches it. She loves this game. In this video she didn’t bring it all the way back, but she does sometimes. She basically does what she wants when she wants. She’s a cat.Awesome product, highly recommend. I’ll buy it again for sure when this one wears out.

A Hit with Both Cats and Kids!
This squeaking squirrel toy is a huge hit in our house—not just with the cat, but with the toddlers too! The realistic squeak grabs everyone’s attention, and my cat loves batting it around and pouncing on it.It’s durable and holds up well to both cat play and curious little hands. If you have a multi-species household (cats and kids), this toy is a fun and entertaining choice!

My Dog and Cats go GAGA over this toy!
My cats and dog love this toy, but the reason I buy them is because my DOG loves it. She just absolutely goes WILD for this, and honestly, it’s one of the only two toys that really holds her attention. The other is a flipping/walking/barking dog that I also purchased from Amazon. The only thing I can think of that might be a negative on this is that you need to supervise your pet – especially if he/she is a dog that likes to chew toys up. This has a small “voice box” inside that contains a tiny – TINY – button battery. The voice box is about the size of a penny or nickel in diameter, and the button battery is about the size of a cherry pit, so my concern is that my dog will accidentally swallow it, because she does chew right into this and pull the insides out. I really do think she believes this is a real animal/rodent. When she isn’t attacking it, she is looking at it, and when I put it away for awhile, she sits there and looks up at it wishing she could reach it. Literally, she is obsessed. These also come in a ball version with a mouse, and that lasts much longer for her, but she eventually gets into that as well. On the ball version, the mouse is suspended in the middle on a thin metal rod that runs from one side to the other in the middle inside of the ball. Any vibration on the ball makes it chirp. Really, it does sound like a mouse if you close your eyes and imagine. I read some reviews that weren’t that favorable about the chirping sound, but if my animal loves it, it really doesn’t matter what I think it sounds like. These are lower in price on Amazon that they are at the WM store.

Cute Cat Toy—But Tiny!
This is a cute little cat toy, vaguely resembling a miniature raccoon. The operative words here being “little” and “miniature.” I was expecting something the size of a small stuffed animal, maybe five or six inches long. I knew from experience that our male cat would enjoy playing with something like that, because he’s always trying to steal my stuffed animals. This toy, however, is TINY. It’s only about two inches long! Smaller than a mouse.It makes a squeaking sound when you move it. Supposedly it sounds like an actual mouse, but I don’t think our cat knows what a real mouse sounds like, because he couldn’t care less about the noise. The squeaker is very sensitive, it doesn’t take much to activate it. If my husband walks by the toy, the vibration of his footsteps (on carpet, no less) will set it off. This gets old fast.Our male cat was enthralled with the toy for all of about five minutes. Now he ignores it completely! Our female cat isn’t interested in playing much these days, so she ignores it, too. It was a nice thought, but didn’t really amount to much. I don’t blame the toy company for our cats’ lack of attention span, though.I’ll give this cat toy four stars, because it’s awfully cute, even if it’s super tiny.

Very Cute and Quiet!
Battery life seems like it will last forever. The toy is also very functional, durable, and safe, as everything is attached well. My cat loves the chirping sounds and how they are quiet and clear, where other brands are very loud and robotic. She is entertained with it a few minutes each day.

Giocattolo geniale, molto divertente sia per i gatti sia per chi li guarda all’opera, si tratta di uno “scoiattolino” che toccandolo emette il verso che ricorda quello di un topo con all’interno il catnip per attirare i gatti… fantastico!! I miei 5 gattini di 5 mesi impazziscono appena lo sentono, se lo litigano per quanto è gettonato, una preda davvero ben studiata e costruita… proprio geniale!!! Agli altri 4 mici adulti che ho in casa non interessa più di tanto, quasi lo ignorano, ma ci può stare, consiglio l’acquisto soprattutto a chi come me ha piccole pesti perchè il rapporto qualità/prezzo è ottimo (pagato meno di 5€) e il divertimento è assicurato.

This cat toy is a staple for my cat. She absolutely loves them. She has gone through at least a dozen over the past few years. They get thrown around, played fetch with and brought to bed with. She gets alot of use our of each one and they stand up to alot of use. By the time a new one is needed the toy is getting a little thread baren and the squeeker no longer squeeks.

６歳の猫に、このシリーズを買いためています。押すとキューッと音が出るだけの、シンプルな小さな鳥のオモチャですが、そこがすごくいいと思います。仕掛けのあるオモチャに遊び飽きたようなうちの猫が、振り出しに戻ったような遊びかたをしてくれます。仕掛けがない分、そこに本当の小鳥や小動物がいるような気分なのでしょう。頭をと想像力を使って遊んでいます。私自身も、シンプル＆レトロなところが気に入りました。電池は交換できないので、いずれ音は出なくなるでしょうが、わが子には電池無しでも永遠のオモチャです。

Originalmente lo compré para mi gatita de 2 meses a quien le encanta llevarlo por toda la habitación. El peluche es muy simpático, bonito y el sonido que emite es agradable y le llama mucho la atención no solo a ella sino también a mi pastor alemán de dos años, a quien terminé comprándole uno propio ya que siempre se lo quitaba a la gatita (siempre superviso a mi perrita ya que es un juguete demasiado pequeño para ella y no quiero que se ahoge).Gracias al uso rudo que le da mi pastor alemán, quien a diferencia de la gatita lo babea, muerde, mastica, aplasta, patea y deja caer en su plato de agua, puedo confirmar que el pobre mapache ha resistido bastante bien ya que incluso después de ahogarlo un par de veces sigue emitiendo sonido.
