TIAKI Whack-a-Mole 2-in-1 Cat Toy

The idea is really fun and the cats are fascinated by the little mice, but they don’t really try to play with their paws. For them, it’s more of a watching game to see why I’m pressing those white levers instead of catching the mice myself. But it’s a nice idea—maybe it would’ve worked better if the levers were on the other side.

The idea for a toy for curious cats is good, but... My tomcat chewed it up in just a few days, so its lifespan is almost zero. But the worst part is the way those mice are made. Their paws aren’t fixed in place and they move around inside the box, so when my tomcat nudged it a bit, they no longer sat over the holes and couldn’t pop out. I don’t understand why they aren’t attached.
