Sharples Mouse 'n' Squeak, Grey and Red

This mouse has proved to be a real hit with my cat. She usually gets bored with toys really quickly, but she plays with this mouse daily. It, rather scarily, looks quite realistic, apart from the red tail, which is how I distinguish between the toy and the real mice she kindly brings me. As the cat throws the mouse around, or you throw it for your cat, it squeaks, which drive my cat to a frenzy. It is very sensitive, so it even goes off when we tread heavily on the floorboards, which can be a pain. However, it is worth it to see my cat playing like a kitten again with this wonderful squeaky toy. My cat highly recommends it.

A month on from receiving this toy I'd give it 6 stars if I could. My cat loves it. When she's not batting it around and throwing it down the stairs to stalk it at the bottom she carries it around the house and sleeps with it under her paw. So many toys get little to no reaction or she gets bored with them within an hour to a day or 2 but not this chirpy little critter. It's well made and stands up to rigorous play that lasts from minutes to hours a day every day. My kitty is a housecat and needs excercise and stimulation, this provides both more than anything else she has. This is the first toy I've not had to store in the catnip jar to get her to play with it. Not a whiff of catnip needed. Brilliant!

My cat LOVED THIS! It made a horrendously annoying noise, sounds like a rape alarm. I was mistaken and thought it moved, but it doesn't. She managed to lose it in the 1st 2 weeks. Batting it around all day and night. She must have whacked it somewhere and now we have no idea where its gone. I personally think its a bit pricey for a little mouse that makes an alarm sound.

I bought this as my 5 month old kitten wrecked the one I already had for my 3 year old cat, this looks better than the one I had, it's very pressure sensitive, a little pat sets it of, though the sound isn't like a real mouse, it's OK, and she loves it, as did my older cat, had to buy another, so they could have 1 each, though it can be rather annoying after an hour or so of it continually going off, but that's the joy of kittens, distract them, hide the toy for a while, then bring it out when your ears have recovered, they both love the mice, so I'm happy to give 5 stars

Not very good quality at all. My cats only had it one day and the stitching came undone. I'm concerned in case the battery came out and was swallowed.

Wow, the slightest movement in the near vicinity of this thing makes it start chirping (and it is chirping, not squeaking). I closed the front door yesterday (which sticks a bit) and it set it off - in the room next door. The cat isn't scared of it, as some had said in their reviews, but neither is she immensely interested. It seems well made, and I'm sure for the right cat it would be a great toy. It doesn't seem that my cat is the right cat though.

I have two cats; one is scared of the mouse and the other loves it and can't play with it enough. The one who loves it plays with it everywhere, flings it up in the air, chases and catches it, rolls around biting it, only to throw it and catch again. The squeak always gets her excited and ready to play. She also carries it around the house with her. It has been such a hit that I will buy another of these so our cat can play with it both upstairs and downstairs and save us and her searching for it as often as it is forever disappearing after play, such as under the bed, sofa etc. Meanwhile our other cat who is scared will watch all of this from a safe distance and is happy so long as he isn't the one playing with it! He usually likes mouse toys but clearly ones that don't squeak! The mouse is a good size (not too big/small), it is furry, and the tail long enough so you can also interact and throw it about to engage them in play. It squeaks with just a gentle touch/tapping. As other reviewers say, the squeak is more of a chirrup however our cat doesn't mind!

Bought one of these to replace a very old squeaky mouse toy that had come to it's end. First of all I must say my cats' loved it the noise it makes is more like a computer game but nevertheless they loved it so after two days ordered a second one so they had one each. Two days after receiving the second one it had come apart and the squeaker had come out so contacted Amazon and a replacement was sent. In under two weeks the other two had also come apart so had to take them away from my cats as unsafe. My cats did what cats do picked it up run around with it and thrown them around so if they come apart this way then they are not fit for purpose the fact that all 3 have done the same shows it was not just a one off, shame as my cats loved them.
