Hartz Toy Mice
These mice are a classic among kitties and one of my cat’s personal favorites. They come in a pack of 12 with very vivid colors and each one contains catnip. The mice are great for cats who like to bat things around or enjoy toys being tossed for them. You get more bang for your buck here as well since you get 12 toys for under $6 (and free shipping with Prime!).

A free rainbow foam ball is included with every order as well.

My tortie LUVS feather wands! She will chase it until she’s completely out of breath! Silly kitty. My himalayan loves scrunched up pieces of paper. He plays fetch like a dog! He will pick them up and trot through the house with them, meowing the whole time, sounding like he has a mouth full of marbles! Then he drops them at your feet and waits for you to throw them. He has a playful spurt of energy in the middle of the night and some mornings when I wake up there will be two or three balls of paper on the floor beside the bed, like he’s brought them in like”hey! wake up I wanna play!” XD
My cats love feather wands
Sounds more like an incredible deal. Less than $8 for the toy set. Really a good bang for buck, my niece needs to see this, she loves cats
That catnip fish is fantastically nasty!
My cats love to fetch those plastic balls that have bells inside them. Just my luck that the toys that makes the most annoying sounds are most fun 😀
My kittens love toy mice!
They are a cat favorite!
