Matatabi mouse duo with feathers

Description
This duo of matatabi mice with feathers is a cat toy designed to stimulate active play, hunting instinct, and natural curiosity. Each mouse is paired with feathers that create a light and erratic movement when the cat catches them, pushes them, or moves them with its paws.
Matatabi, also known as silvervine or madnip, is a naturally attractive plant for many cats. Its scent can encourage the animal to take an interest in the toy, manipulate it, rub against it, or restart a play session. It is often appreciated by cats less sensitive to catnip, making it an interesting alternative for varying enrichment toys.
The feathers add a highly stimulating visual effect, resembling a small moving prey. They attract attention, encourage capture gestures, and can help indoor cats expend their energy in a playful setting. The duo format also allows for alternating toys or offering one in several areas of the house.
As with any feather toy, use should be supervised. Remove the toy as soon as it shows significant signs of wear to avoid ingestion of small parts. This model is suitable for cats of all ages, depending on their temperament and activity level.
