Garfield Panic Mouse

The Garfield Panic Mouse takes all of the great features of the original Panic Mouse and adds increased stability, the famous Garfield "fat-cat" body, and a timer.

Since the original Panic Mouse is so popular with my two cats (Fritz and Kira), I was looking forward to assessing the new Garfield model, modeled on the lovable comic strip cat anti-hero and recent star of his own 'Garfield' movie . Having told them of the impending arrival of the toy, my cats looked blankly at me (nothing new there then!). Assembly was simplicity itself, and the curious felines were soon happily occupied for more than an hour, swatting at the flailing furry ball, before I finally shut the toy off. A real plus on this model is the automatic timer which can be set for up to two hours, in 15-minute increments. Another great feature is the "spring wand" (an optional attachment) which eliminates the broken cord accidents that have heppened with earlier models. Kira's a good hunter with great reaction times and she ususally tests things to destruction (including my patience sometimes!). If your cats are rough with their toys or you have a large or strong cat, I'd highly recommend getting the spring wand. Our original Panic Mouse has lasted over a year with no problems other than an occasional broken string or tip-over by overly energetic play. The Garfield version of Panic Mouse should offer even better perfomance.

Great tip for anytime of the day that your cat is feeling playful:

Catnip Sock

Sprinkle a little catnip into the toe of an old sock, cut off the top, leaving about half an inch beyond the catnip. Stitch up the open end and it’s ready for your cat to enjoy. Instead of cutting off the top, you can simply tie a knot in the top, and toss it to your cat. If your cat doesn’t like catnip, you can use cotton balls in place of the catnip.

A cat's independent nature is in large part due to its legacy as a solitary hunter. Cats use solo forays and even play to acquire important information about their environment and potential prey. SmartyKat BonkerBalls bell-balls will pique your cat's curiousity and occupy her for hours at a time.
