A very old toy emerged from our coat closet, so old that the head peep had to clean corroded battery contacts to make it work again. The panic mouse is kind of an interactive cat toy for people who don’t want to wave a wand around. It had been so many years since the cats had seen it, they approached it like it was new again.
Newton: What’s this? It’s noisy, and it’s moving!
Pierre: It’s moving!
Newton: But it’s noisy….
Newton: And it flips that thing in my face. Whoa!
Newton: This one is yours, Pierre.
Pierre: No problem, I’ve got this.
Ashton: I’m not going anywhere near any of that.
Pierre: You are such a girl! I have this. Check out this move.
Pierre: I can’t wait to get my teeth into it!
Pierre: Got you! *Chomp*
Pierre: I’m putting the big bitey on you now, panic mouse!
Arrrggghh! *Chomp* *Chomp*
Pierre: See? I told you. I have it under control.

Oh GREAT, NOW you’ve done it. TBT is reminded of the Whirling Weasel toy, and thats about the scariest thing we ever saw. He searchin the closet now. Gee thanks!
Whisppy says
Make sure you don’t let go of the mousie! We heard they are pretty sneaky and won’t hesitate to bump you in the head if you let go.
The Island Cats says
We wondered about that Panic Mouse…we’ve never had one. We can see that it’s not easy to control…unless you’re Pierre!
Angel Abby says
Oh we love the last picture!!! So cute!!! Our kitties would do the same thing. Sort of look at it making noise and run! LOL
Katnip Lounge says
Pierre! That’s my fave toy too! I cry and cry and cry and cry (and CRY) until Mommy turns it on.

Clooney says
Hey, good job there buddy! I might have been just a little scared of theese one!
Kitties Blue says
That last photo of Pierre is priceless. We’ve never seen a toy like this one, nor have our humans. We don’t like noisy things so we probably wouldn’t like it. Pierre certainly has it figured out. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Misty May, Mauricio, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Rick And Morty says
