How does this compare to Cat Dancer 301 Cat Charmer Interactive Cat Toy ? Anyone have both ? I have the cat dancer. Thinking about one of these since its the #1 seller.

My cats like this waaaaaay more than the Cat Dancer. One cat will actually drag it from wherever it is to me so I can play with her. She is obsessed. Meanwhile, the cat dancer just chills on our floor waiting to be tripped on.

I have both and my cat enjoys both -- at different times. I can play with him w/the Cat Dancer 301 --interactive between myself and the cat; but the Go Cat Cat Catcher w/little mouse at the end seems to be his favorite -- if I had to pick one. He plays with it interactively with me and also alone. I noticed he carries the mouse around in his mouth and drags the toy around from room to room. He really likes the little mouse at the end! I've had to purchase a 2nd wand because he chewed away the first. Hope this helps. ID

The "cat teaser" (with the "mouse" at the end) rates a "10" for my cats, and the "charmer interactive toy" rates a "6" (sometimes just a "3"). Both my cats are picky (um, lazy) regarding cat toys, and they consistently go CRAZY (i.e., jump, run, chase, flip) for the "mouse teaser wand". If I had to buy a replacement for either and could only get one, it would definitely be the "mouse" (teaser wand).

We have both toys as well. The cat dancer sits unused on the floor while the wand with the mouse has to be hidden or else it would be dragged all over the house and fought over by the two cats. This is both cats favorite toy, albeit they enjoy it in different ways: one wants to jump and try to get it in the air while the other wants to chase it up and down the cat tree.

Hello! My cats don't really use it, either. So that string toy thing with the wand on the end I just use by first putting catnip in it first and then use it by just waving it around in the hole on the top or if your cat sticks his/her head in one side you can also wave it around on the other side where they can see it and they'll run over and through this crackle chute to play. My cats honestly have even tried to sleep in it. So I wouldn't worry about it too much. They'll get used to it

Yes, I also had trouble with this product! And I am stuck with an unused canister also. I will not purchase this again and I would advise anyone considering it to just pass it up. I feel it is a very inferior product. Like you, after fussing with it I got the first canister connected and it worked fine, but I will not buy anymore! I would suggest to anyone trying to train a cat to go with the scatmats... they are pricey, but they do work. I bought just one and keep moving it around. Hope this helps!

How did you get a new one? did you write or call to them? Mine is broken and the cats just loved it but I can't find my receipt from Target.

The one that came in our Senses Circuit actually lasted quite a while and I just bought the two replacement balls. Only one of our cats usually plays with toys, but the other two have actually played with the toy, which was a good thing. I would worry about replacing the batteries as unless you glue it back together,

I just ordered a case - same exact kind as before (which my cats loved). My older cat won't touch this new batch. - My kitten ate some of it and has had the 'runs' for two days. Does anyone know - will Amazon take the unopened cans back?

I got the original scratch lounger and my cats love it. It looks like the 2nd one is thinner on both sides and bottom. My cats love to lay in it and sleep in it so I would prefer the thicker one - it will last longer.

Oh, good. Weird I just noticed your original post was written a year ago! I'm pretty new to Amazon, but glad I could help kinda. lolWhoops, and I didn't know my name was "Giggles the Cat"! I forgot, I guess. I was afraid of Amazon for a long time, and guess I just created an account a long time ago, but didn't order anything until a few months ago. December 2011. lol. That's funny. Giggles the Cat. How can anyone take that seriously, jeez. I wonder if I can change that. lol

I'm pretty sure the Dog Mate and Cat Mate are the exact same. If I remember correctly, the instruction manual even listed both. I have cats but I bought the "dog" one because of the cheaper price!

If I were you, I'd go to the Cats Meow website and buy that product, instead. I bought this one and that one, and that one is higher quality, MUCH quieter, and less destructible than the one sold on Amazon. Also my cats like the true Cats Meow toy better because the mouse isn't a hard plastic lump. It's a piece of string that sticks out like a mouse tail and is much more tempting to the cat. It takes 3 C size batteries. I use rechargeable batteries because it will be much cheaper in the long run.

My 3 year old cat did not play with this as much as my 1 year old cat but he still used it. I don't know if just different personalities or age. Sometimes late at night I can hear the ball going around and around - they both play with it off and on. My cat also loves when I put ping pong balls in the empty dryer - that keeps him going for at least 30 minutes as well

Unfortunatly, I do not have the packaging any longer, I'm sure that would have said it. But unlike the other reply here, my 3 1/2 year old cat LOVES these things! She has played with them daily, all day long, for about a month and a half now. She hardly touches any of her other toys. Best $2 I ever spent!

Hi Maureen; Mine did not have various speeds, just the stopping and starting motion you see on the commercials. My cats were interested in this for a while but not so much now that they are use to it. I might put it away for a while and bring it back out once they have forgotten about it. I don't think they will be able to come up with toy that replaces real interaction from a friend. Happy playing!

Our very active cat is just under 15 pounds. He doesn't use it as much as I hoped he would. I have never seen him climb into the cave at the bottom. He does bat the ball round and we added one from his old smaller play station. I have noticed the Trixie casta cat tree wobble a bit. It is in my dining room and I am sorry that I bought it. My cat likes super balls, fake mice, and simple toys like string and tissue paper!

I love mine and have no problems with it. I would gage how often you need someone to come by based on how often you empty it while you are home, because all cats are different. I have one cat and only have to empty about every three days

A couple weeks after Christmas I replaced the one I bought right before Christmas. Neither worked! I just went and bought SmartyKat Hot Pursuit yesterday from Walmart based on several reviews here and (thankfully) it's working great and my cat is loving it! AND... it takes double A batteries instead of C and has adjustable speeds on it and comes with 2 different wands to attach. So far so good! It is a bit more than I spent on this one at Bed Bath and Beyond, but it's totally worth it since it ACTUALLY works. Don't bother with the Cat's Meow.
