Do these Mice have a hard or soft center? My cats don't like hard toys.

It's a hard inner shell surrounded by a thin layer of fuzziness. Mine didn't have a rattle though, and it feels more like plastic than cardboard.

They are fluffy on the outside with a hard shell that has a rattle inside. Our 8 felines love them and chase them around the wood floors as though they were real! Perhaps your kitty might like the foam rubber balls to play with and carry around... There are also a variety of fluffy balls on Amazon in lieu of the hard-bodied mice. Good luck as you hunt for the puurrrfect kitty toy!

They are made of cardboard. My cats love them and they get hockey pocked all over my house. They have a tail that is like a felt piece of material and they have a soft fuzzy covering. They are about the size of a quarter, which allow them to be very easily carried about.

These mice are hard, more so than the other mouse toys I have. If you're looking for a soft toy, Armarkat makes these great puffballs that can be hung on cat trees or a toy to be thrown/played with on the ground when you cut off the string: AeroMark 20 Piece Mixed Toys for Pets Cat who like soft toys will most likely like biting, carrying, and chasing these.

They are not real hard sort of on the soft side and the inside is soft but not gueey. Plus they are small so they should have no problems. My 19 year kitty even loves getting the treats. She doesn't have a lot of teeth and has no problem eating them either.

They are lightweight and squishy, but you can feel a hardened area where they are stitched. The inside is just fluffy filling. There is no solid center. My 3 cats love employees!

They are "fun" shapes, if you will. They are flat, but there are triangles, and "Y" wishbone type shapes. I imagine the Y ones might give you a hard time. I would suggest Purina Pro Plan Dry Cat Food, Focus, Adult Sensitive Skin and Stomach Lamb and Rice Formula, it also helps with hairballs and sensitive stomachs. They are all one shape round pieces, my cats love it.

They are hard to break. In fact the my dog had a hard time crewing it. She was trying to chew up the kittys new toys, I caught her and she bite it in half. Hard for a cat to break threw it. I step on them all the time and they are still together.

They are more squishy than hard.They are flat on top and below but have circular shape.

The mouse on my cats toy is still there but is torn. Also my cat somehow managed to get his large head trapped in one of the holes, so be watchful of that with this type of toy.

Nope, no rattle at all. My cats are pretty picky and don't like other plain fuzzy mice (with no bells, whistles, catnip, etc.), but love these ones. I can't figure it out at all (typical cat nonsense, I guess), but at least you get a bunch in a pack and they're not terribly expensive. If they're dead set on a rattle, I'd go with a different kind though.

They are pretty durable unless you have a cat that likes to chew. Although I wouldn't buy from this seller after my last experience.

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!

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.

In my opinion, yes, it is soft. It is not as cushy (or thick) as those cushioned mats made to stand on for long hours; but it does have a minor give. I have some doormats that have stiff bristle-like "fibers". My cat avoids them. I consider them as not being "easy on paws". This mat is not like that at all and he has no problem with it.

They are in between. Not the hard regular balls but not fluffy soft either. I hope that helps.

I believe that the hard one may be more resistant to damage from racoons and any animal which may decide to chew on it.Racoons do not seem to want to chew on the hard one as they did to the soft one that I had before. It may also be less likely to admit moisture. It is possibly safer for outdoor use. The hard one may seem as though it would be uncomfortable but cats don't seem to mind. They do not weigh as much as we do and may not need as much padding. It may be a very good trade off between comfort and safety. I would expect that a hard one would be better protected and last longer unless there is a manufacturing error.

The tale is like a hard chamois cloth material. No fur on it at all. My cats LOVE these mice!!! Hope this helps!! :)

They're not so bad and they break in a bit. But compared to Logitech mice they are quite stiff.This trackball has other issues though... I wouldn't recommend it.

They are very crunchy, to help with dental issues. My cats haven't a problem, even the one who has less than half of his teeth left (15+). Perhaps they are stale? But in any case, they aren't meant to be soft. (My cats eat some canned, mostly raw, so crunchy is a treat to them.)
