2.0 out of 5 stars Cat loves it, but, March 13, 2006

My cat thinks this is the best toy he's ever seen. However, apart from the problem with the cat easily knocking it over, the toy began to develop problems within the first month.

First the motor began to act strange, and wouldn't fully twirl around, getting stuck at points (different batteries didn't fix it). Also, our cat has learned how to break the string, requiring a never ending supply of new strings.

Without these problems this would be a great toy. With them, I'd be reluctant to recommend it to anyone one. Broken strings are common with cat toys, but the problem with the motor has made it unusable. I may have just been unlucky, but this was my experience with it, and I'm not willing to spend more to find out.

(REAL NAME)   

My cat received this toy as a gift from his grandmother last christmas! It was his favorite toy! Toy ran very well for the first two months and then the motor started going. Replacement of batteries didn't work. Finally because he would always sit by the toy wanting to play - I decided to take it apart and see what the problem was. The electrical wires came apart. I fixed it and he resumed play. This was good for about a week before it broke again. I have thus repaired it 5 times but now it is finally irrepairable. The company won't take it back, fix it or exchange it as it only had a 30 day warranty. He really loves this toy and even though it is broken continues to sit near it and try to play with it. Becuase he loves it so much I was considering buying him a new one. But sad to say the toy doesn't seem to be made well and it isn't exactly cheap by way of cat toys. So I am reluctant. But like I said before it was his favorite and entertained him for long periods of time. Too bad it isn't made well. Hope this helps.

This review is from: Panic Mouse Original (Misc.)

Ok..we bought a "Panic Mouse" for our cats/kittens. While the older cats walked by it with expressions of indifference. The kittens have a blast with it!

It moves and turns randomly so they never know which way it will go..ok..I admit..once in awhile one gets knocked in the head by it...but it's still funny! You can adjust the speed so it goes slower, which we did until they got the hang of it then it was FULL power. It even keeps the kids entertained! Just remember to shut if off or you will be buying batteries left and right.

If you buy one buy the extra wand and 3 mice, as the strings are pretty flimsy and break easy. Or go buy some string and a few pom poms and make them yourself.
