This review is from: KONG Naturals Natural Mice Catnip Toy, Colors Vary, 2-Pack (Misc.)
I was not very impressed when I first got these – they sort of just looked like little clumps of fabric with a tail, not much resemblance to mice. However, our cat is ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with these, so I guess he recognizes that they are mice after all! He’s been playing and playing non-stop, for a week straight now, and gets very possessive when we try to move them. So I consider these a very good purchase!

I unwrapped all toys, inserted catnip packets where necessary in the other toys, then threw them all into the center of the living room. After some initial confusion over the many choices available to her, she immediately went for one of the Natural Mice. She likes them because she can cart them around and flip them into the air. Both mice were played with thoroughly and the other toys were largely ignored until she managed to get the mice stuck under the couch.
If your cat likes mice and/or small toys I’m sure he or she will love these. Hope the review helped.
Edit 12/24/12: FWIW, I did purchase another set and the colors look anything but natural. My first purchase looked like the mice in the picture above. This time the mice were an ugly red and blue. I’ll try to remember to update if my cat’s behavior changes with these weird colors. Kong, what were you thinking?
Edit 12/29/12: As expected, these “unnatural” colors weren’t a hit. Her new favorite is Skinneeez For Cats – Mouse

This review is from: KONG Naturals Natural Mice Catnip Toy, Colors Vary, 2-Pack (Misc.)
We’ve experimented with tons of various fake mice, from the colorful fake looking ones to the more realistic ones, and even the ones covered in rabbit fur.
It seems most all of them come laced with catnip, but I think there must be various types of catnip because some of the toys make our cats go absoultely crazy in a NOT so good way. Then there are some that seem to have almost no affect.
But these… KONG Cat Naturals – Natural Mice… these are the perfect balance for our cats!
Like one of the reviewers before me, I was not impressed when I first opened the package and threw the mice down for the cats to play. And at first, it seemed like they weren’t exactly impressed either. But within an hour these became their FAVORITE toys AND without making them “crazy”. Obsessed and playful with them, but not acting all wierd and flipping out like some catnips do.
Now after having them for almost 2 weeks, out of all the toys they have, they *consistently* want to play with these and we have a regular routine of “fetch” going. These things have my cats acting like dogs. They constantly bring them to us and practically beg to have us play fetch with them. The cats will continue to chase these mice up the stairs when we throw them, and bring them back down to us over and over for as long as we’ll keep it up!
Awesome. Never buying any little fake mice other than these again.

wish the fat cat toys weren’t so hard to come by these days. they used to have a much larger variety to choose from. my cat and anyone’s cat I’ve given these to has loved them. just to see what he’d do, I took the lid off and put the container on the floor. he immediately buried his head in the bucket and proceeded to walk around like that. tried to take it from him so he wouldn’t ruin all and could have some for later but was thanked with a series of rapid fire rabbit kicks from the hind legs! yes, her loves them that much! highly recommend and at this price you have plenty for your cat(s) and some to share.

I usually buy these, individually, through local pet stores but saw a great deal for 36 of these & my cats have been enjoying them all day. I love the way these are made & how they hold up to feline destruction. It’s funny to see them walk around with one of these in their mouths & how it encourages play & their hunting habits.

I bought one tub for out foster cat program as we do a little starter packet for each cat when they are adopted. I gave my own cats one to try and it was a big hit. One morning I came out to find them scattered all over the living room. My two young fosters found the first batch in my laundry area and managed to open the laundry doors and get into the the covered plastic container which was sitting inside a zipped tote and swipe a few for their own use. I think it is the combination of the catnip and the size. large enough to bat about and small enough that they can carry about in their mouths. My own elder cat also likes to snuggle them. Just bought a second container. They are very similar to the EEEEK! mice I can no longer find locally.
