The Kazoo Noisy Mouse is a small interactive toy for cats who like to hunt something that fights back a little. Fluffy mouse-shaped, sized for batting and carrying, and designed in Australia as part of Kazoo's cat range. Suits kittens and adult cats — solo players especially.

A built-in sound chip triggers squeaky noises when the toy is knocked or pounced on, which is usually enough to reset a bored cat's interest. Catnip is worked into the toy for the cats who respond to it (roughly two in three do). The shape and size make it easy to flick across floorboards or bat under furniture, which is where most of the play tends to happen.

A sensible pick for indoor cats who need more stimulation than a static toy provides, and for owners who'd rather not be the entertainment committee every evening. The sound and scent combination tends to hold attention longer than plain plush mice.
