JW Pet Cat Zippy Mouse Cat Toy

Bought 2 b/c have had similar items in past that were big hits. The idea is that you pull back on the wheels, & when you release, it goes on forward on smooth surfaces. This one seems anemic; you pull it back to prime it, then it moves maybe a couple of inches, then stops. Kept referring back to package & webpage description thinking I wasn't using correctly, but ultimately, kitty more interested with box than mouse. Only redeeming feature is that the tail is soft, so I have seem cat pick it by the tail & move it, trying briefly for signs of life.

You get what you pay for with this toy. It is very fun to play with, just wind the wheels back and let your cat chase it. But within the first catch, an ear and eye fell off of it. After the fourth catch, it is just a green blob that zooms around, haha. Also, be prepared: the mouse does not move in a straight line, it tends to veer to the side so make sure you plug up any holes that it could run into.

I am not sure if the wheels are supposed to wind backwards and then make the mouse "run" on its own? They don't seem to do that but my cat really likes batting it around and pouncing on it anyway. So we are happy with this toy.

This is a strange toy mouse on wheels. My cats like the motion. Not sure if it's safe for kittens because they might dislodge the wheels and swallow. But has been safe for my adult cats.

It goes fast and far and our cat Waffles was a bit afraid at first but now she pounces it with enthusiasm. A great new additions to her toys.

My cats enjoy chasing this, but aren't sure what to do once it stops. They will try to attack it and bat it around, but stop when it doesn't move. I like that it doesn't have a battery to turn off, but that obviously also limits the movement. The wheels also get jammed with hair/dirt easily. I think this would work best in a wide open space. My place is really too small for it to get going. Also, the mouse quickly starts to curve, so it runs into this quickly -- meaning it wouldn't even work well in a long hallway. But for the price, we are having fun with it.

My kitten loves this toy so much. It’s very simple ans cheap but he loves to carry it around and chase it.

i have 6 cats and they were all racing after the mouse. Even when it is sitting there they will run over an attack. Great toy. Zips across the floor easily. Not as good on carpet but tile or vinyl floor no problem. table top works also

Kitten loves it The even carries it like the small ones but I cannot find it need more

I wish I read a review before I purchased that said it does not work on carpet. Kitty still likes to play with it like a regular toy though.
