Toy mice
- There are wind-up toy mice with spring mechanisms that will run in circles on the floor. Cats are fascinated with any object that moves on its own, and may continue playing with such a toy long after it stops moving. In addition, there are simple toy mice, some containing catnip that the cat can easily throw in the air to catch again. Fur toy mice are a real attraction for some cats, and some of these are sold with a stand to which they are connected with a spring.
