SmartyKat Skitter Critters Value Pack Catnip Cat Toys – Gray/Cream, Set of 10

Like many Pet Parents, my pets are rescues. I found my kitty out fending for himself in a rural community. I thought he was a kitten at 2 pounds, but a trip to the vet told me he was a fully grown male, about a year old. So… he had his first year of life with all his outdoor instincts on alert for survival, and I am telling you – these “SmartyKat Skitter Critters” could not be safer from his wild-cat playfulness than if he was playing with a real one.

When I first purchased these, I bought a small, 3-pack from the local big box store. I found myself returning a week later for two more packs because he’d either destroyed or hidden them.

Through the years, I’ve regularly purchased the 3-pack sets in multiples, so I was happy to find this 10-toy value pack for less than I was paying for multiple 3-packs.

Was there any difference in quality? No. **Before** I even had the bag open, my little cat was literally jumping up on me to get to them! I made him wait until I cut the tags off (see photo), and he was ready to go!

If these were sold in 100-packs, I’d buy them! I will say that the “stomach” seam is easily ravaged. So buy them in multiples, and if you want them to last a little longer, get a needle and thread to quickly put a few stronger stitches in the “stomach” before you share them.

Okay – case in point. Even as I am typing this review, my little cat (actually, he’s not so little anymore) has gotten into the trash can beside my desk. Luckily, I had just emptied it, so I wondered what could be inside that was attracting him so much? Ha ha. It’s the *tags* I cut off from the first SmartKat mouse toy I gave him! So yes, cats LOVE these!

Besides ravaging them, he also chases them under things. So if you are missing a few, try sweeping a broom under your furniture, frig, dresser, china hutch, and under your sofas, ottomans, etc.. Use a broom. I wouldn’t want one of these poly-filled mice to get stuck up in the vacuum wand.

So we’ll see how long this 10-pack lasts, but I do think I’ll add a few stitches and see if that helps before giving them to him, and… put these on our “Amazon Shopping List” so we can easily find them for re-order (that and in our Returns and Orders tab).

You can’t go wrong with “SmartyKat Skitter Critters”! Don’t waste time on the small pack. Go ahead and get the value pack. Otherwise, you’ll be turning around and ordering them again soon! …and with Christmas coming soon? They make great kitty cat stocking stuffers, too!

The photos show: the 10-pack does come with ten mice. You can count them front or back. I’ve shown different close-up angles of this economical mouse. They do not look “real” like some of the more expensive ones, but cats love them just as much. I’ve always shown how I cut off the tags which I’d strongly recommend for the cat’s safety. And… a 12-second video “ad” right out of the bag!

Very durable, my cats are constantly playing with these mice. I’m not sure what it is about it, they seem much more interested in these toy mice than any others I’ve bought for them, even the interactive mice. It keeps them busy and they’re the perfect size for them to carry around in their mouths, which is absolutely adorable. Each mouse has its own material tag that is about as long as the tail, removing each individual one is a little annoying but that’s about it.

Great price for super cute, plain little mice that my kitten absolutely loves! I’ve had to buy these 4 times because he continues to hide them within 3 weeks lol I can only imagine where his stock-pile might be 🤣 They are made very well & safe.

The cats love to pick these up in their paws and throw it around. They like to put it in their mouths and carry it around too. We have 3 cats so I love that it was a 3 pack. Nice variety and I like the bright colors of the string. They have held up very very well throughout all their play. The catnip isn’t super strong so it doesn’t make them go crazy but it seems to give them a bit of energy.

This was a repurchase for a new set of kittens. The previous ones finally fell apart, after 5+ years.
So far, only 1 mouse in play has fallen apart out of 3 in play. The rest will be backups when these ones finally fall apart.

I have three kitties and ordered one three pack. All three kitties absolutely loved these cat nip mice. It has your typical catnip effect on them, but with the little curly tails, it really attracted the cats to play with these. Because they are different colors, I can tell who’s is who’s. Because the colors are bright, it makes them easier to spot. Because they don’t roll around like some of the cat balls, the cats don’t get overly rambunctious and run into things and knock things over.

You would think these little guys wouldn’t be fun at all for a cat. Well my tabby LOVES these. He scoots them around the house 24/7 and cannot stop playing with them. They aren’t hard at all and make no noise, so they are perfect to play with any time of the day. They are surprisingly durable too and haven’t fallen apart (except when the dog gets a hold of them). These are my cats favorite toy and I will continue to buy, especially since he swats them under the furniture and appliances where I can’t retrieve them. Lol.
