Garfield Panic Mouse Review
Take the one of the world's greatest interactive cat toys (Panic Mouse) and combine it with a cartoon cat known across the globe, Garfield - a cartoon classic since 1978. Garfield is a household name, and known for attracting cat owners and animal lovers worldwide.
The Garfield Panic Mouse
takes all of the great features of the
original Panic Mouse
and adds increased stability, the famous Garfield "fat-cat" body, and a timer.
Since the original Panic Mouse is so popular with my two cats (Fritz and Kira), I was looking forward to assessing the new Garfield model, modeled on the lovable comic strip cat anti-hero and recent star of his own
'Garfield' Movie.
Having told them of the impending arrival of the toy, my cats looked blankly at me (nothing new there then!). Assembly was simplicity itself, and the curious felines were soon happily occupied for more than an hour, swatting at the flailing furry ball, before I finally shut the toy off.
A real plus on this model is the automatic timer which can be set for up to two hours, in 15-minute increments. Another great feature is the "spring wand" (an optional attachment) which eliminates the broken cord accidents that have happened with earlier models.
This is a great toy if you want to leave the house and know that your cat(s) will be kept occupied while you're out. And with the timer you can easily change when the toy xomes alive so your cat doesn't become used to the toy's routine.
The speed settings make it compatible for cats of all ages. Use slower speeds for kittens and elderly cats and faster speeds for adult cats.
Kira's a good hunter with great reaction times and she ususally tests things to destruction (including my patience sometimes!). If your cats are rough with their toys or you have a large or strong cat, I'd highly recommend getting the spring wand. Our original Panic Mouse has lasted over a year with no problems other than an occasional broken string or tip-over by overly energetic play. The Garfield version of Panic Mouse
should offer even better perfomance.
The Garfield Panic Mouse is now available at a sale price of $24.00 (a 35% saving) from the above link
