Total waste of money

I unpacked this, turned it on and the cats enjoyed it for the one minute when it moved forward, albeit very slowly. After that it began only moving in a circle

I unpacked this, turned it on and the cats enjoyed it for the one minute when it moved forward, albeit very slowly. After that it began only moving in a circle. I turned it off and on and even tried putting in new batteries. Turns out the batteries were weak and after changing them it still only turned in a circle, but it did turn more rapidly. What a disappointment and waste of money.

I'd like to return it

It meandered for a few minutes slow, then died. I changed the batteries, it did the same thing. Wish I'd gotten something else.

Toy -battery operated

It's a cute toy but my kitty's prefer small, no battery or plastic type toys. I thought they would love it but they didn't unfortunately

Should’ve checked the reviews

It doesn’t work well it’s too heavy and it tails and then it doesn’t work and it just stops. It doesn’t work like the other ones. I’ve bought the smaller ones not

Looks, materials

No fault on your end, batteries do not run for that long. Keep trying to find a softer mouse that they will play with.

Toy mouse

Jasper took a liking to it immediately. He likes to pick it up & bring it to us, no matter where we are in the house. His special gift!

Mice are too big for kittens

And they don't keep moving. They get stuck and just whirrr.

My cat showed very little interest in it!

My cat wasn't happy with it at all,I believe a flying bird toy would have done the trickl
