Got Cats?
Are you a cat person? We've got three dogs, but no cats. It's not because we don't like cats, it's just that my wife and I both are allergic to cat dander. Our son, however, has two cats; one that stays indoors and the other is both an indoor and outdoor cat. What both of these felines have in common is that they are very destructive. Since both he and his wife are gone most of the day, they have gotten used to coming home to what I have named "shredded house". They just positively dread it when there's rain in the forecast because they know that the cats will get bored and mischief will abound.
Mouse Chaser Entertainment
So when I saw this Mouse Chaser on an As Seen On TV spot, I knew I had to order it for them. It's a good deal, too...a "Buy One Get One Free" offer. So, for about $34 total (including shipping), two of these electronic cat entertainment gizmos showed up on my door step along with two red beam laser cat toys.
The Mouse Chaser is a toy that will not only keep your cat entertained for hours, but you will enjoy watching kitty try to catch the "mouse". This battery powered toy is activated by your cat's movement. When it senses movement, a small "mouse" begins to run around its path inside an enclosed plastic bowl with strategic openings in the top and side. Your kitty sees the mouse running round and round, and tries to catch it...over and over again! When the cat stops moving the mouse stops running, so your battery life is extended.
Cats Enjoy the Mouse Chaser
Cats don't miss much of what's going on around them. When we first powered the Mouse Chaser up and put it on the floor, the cat acted like it was ignoring it. But, it couldn't ignore the red LED beam for long and soon the mouse was running its laps in the Chaser. The cat leaped at the Mouse Chaser, and tried every which way to grab the mouse through the openings to no avail. He would try to capture the mouse for awhile, then walk away and stare at the Mouse Chaser. Then, he'd sneak back up on it, the mouse would activate, and the cycle would begin all over again. Very entertaining for both him and us!
If you've got cats, this is a neat toy that may keep them occupied and happy while you're away. While my son's cats still sometimes scratch where they're not supposed to, the Mouse Chaser has definitely helped to keep them out of mischief while he's gone. It's as relatively inexpensive item that may prevent the destruction of your home's interior by your best feline friend!
