Cat plays with it some, but it needs to move faster to really get her excited. Mouse seems to be sluggish even with new batteres.Put on floor and cats loved it. Then it turned a couple circles and ran under couch. Haven't seen it since. ?The Feral cat I have been feeding and befriended that now comes in in the evenings and spends a couple hours with me absolutely loves this toy! So far as I have only had it a couple days it is durable, and the battery is still going although I’ve only played with it in short spurts of 20 minutes apiece. But the cat absolutely loves it. It is very lifelike and its movements and does really well on the hardwood floors. I do not have any carpet so she literally plays with it all throughout my small 745 ft.² 1920 Victorian. I can’t say enough about this toy so far. The only frustration was tonight it got stuck under the couch and I literally had to pull the couch out and move all the furniture around to get it out and then each time I would almost get my hand on it it would come to life and burrow it so farther under the couch. Lol ha ha the whole time the cat was sitting behind me waiting for me to get it out. Best Cat toy ever! Well made! Pics coming!My cats both enjoy this mouse but the movement is a little disappointing. It zips right along for about 6 ft., does a half-spin and then stops. Maybe it is to encourage your cat to paw or bat at it, I don't know. I just wish it kept moving or at least for a little longer. It's not too bad, though. They do like it.This interactive toy chicken that we named "Speedy chicken ?" due to how fast he goes, is our 5 month old kitten Sammy's new favorite friend. He chases after him and plays hard with him for hours. As a kitten Mom I would highly recommend this to other felines every where.The cat enjoys it, works well. I thought I had a defective one but it doesn't move until you set it on the floor and then touch it.My cat does like this toy and plays with it. However, it would be better if it moved more than it does. It has a pattern that it goes straight then turns and backs up a little. Then it stops and just sits there. It would be better if it would take off one more time. The cat has to go over to it and hit it for it to move again. So it was fun at first for him but then he knows it's doing the same thing.Update: The battery died after about a week. That's way too soon. They should have provided an extra battery.My kittens Milo & Maggie go crazy for this mouse. My only complaint is that when my cats knock it on its side, I usually have to turn it over myself as they get bored and walk away from it. I'm not sure why your review notes mention a remote control. This mouse does not have one. It actually would be cool if you had one for this mouse. When the mouse is scurrying across the floor, my cats love it. I also love that it changes direction on them. They even pick it up in their mouth and run with it. The mouse squeak sound could also be a bit louder. Thank you for making a quality product! :)Ok, maybe this is equally the cat's fault too but we gave it to the Maine Coon in our care and he broke it in 2 mins. It doesn't switch on anymore. Probably not suited for cats with an extremely high prey drive... The ones that know how to pick it up and smash it on the floor! Lol. He did like it very much though. Too much.In terms of how it runs, it's not too bad provided your floor is flat. It couldn't roll from our laminate floor onto the rug, it got stuck on the edge.Our ragdoll didn't care for it at all but I think that's just her.After a day's use, provided battery got weak and had to buy more. Goes round in random patterns which is good but the distance it goes to, is about 50cms and stops. When cat caught it and dropped it on side which happened few times, mouse doesn't flip back on belly- think that's what discharged battery pretty quickly.My cats love it hence 4 stars but it wont work on flat carpets. Could also be more sensitive to touch of cat.Really disappointed in this. First one did not work so bought another but it didn't work much better. Definitely did not squeak! It moved about 3 feet then just stopped even on a tiled floor. Won't be buying a third!Purchased this for my ferrets. Worked on and off for a few days. Battery ran out very quickly and now it does nothing and they've given up and so have i
