The ULTIMATE happy cat toy.
One of the biggest issues with owning cats is that some of them like to scratch things, namely furniture.
Both Kali and Nova were de-clawed years ago, but Shahiro and Carmine have theirs, and they have recently (as in when Carmine showed up) taken to really trying to go at the couch.
Today while Sebastian and I were in Publix picking up some more food and other things we needed, I spotted this in the pet aisle.
The Scratch Rattle Roll Scratcher - Mouse
This GIANT mouse is made of a really soft fabric like a blanket, it has a sisal spot on it's back which cats love to scratch, it has a rattle ball in it's tail, and the whole thing is FULL of catnip.
It has a really strong elastic so that you can hang it from your doorknob, or you can lay it on the floor for the cats to pounce on.
All 4 of the cats love to do both to it, they love this thing!
As soon as I cut the tags off and hung it from the door, they all went nuts trying to get to it.
They were swatting at each other, jumping on it, licking it, biting it, and meowing like crazy over this thing.
Here's Carmine rolling around on the floor* with it.
The big dark spot on the sisal back is from where Kali started frantically licking at it to try and get the catnip out of it.

After living in this house for 10 years, the carpet is less than fantastic looking.
Kids, cats, kids spilling things, people in and out, people spilling stuff.
It sucks, but after my Bissell Proheat Deep Cleaner
I'm so going to buy another one of those or a better one someday.

Carmine sure is a handsome little boy! I think all the "girls" will grow to love him!

That giant mouse looks so cool! I was at PetSmart today buying cat food, and I looked for one, but they didn't have it. I may just have to order it from your Amazon link. My cats go crazy for the 'nip.
