Ancol Fish & Mice Mixed Box – Assorted Cat Toys for Interactive Hunting Play

Ancol Fish & Mice Cat Toys – Fluffy Fish and Lacey Mice

Two shapes, both small enough to be carried in the mouth and light enough to skid across a hard floor: a fluffy fish and a lacey mouse. Ancol supply them as a mixed assortment, so which style and which colour arrives is not something either of us picks.

These are throw-and-forget toys rather than centrepieces. Their value is in numbers and in turnover — a cat that finds one behind a door two weeks after losing it will play with it as though it were new.

Performance & Benefits

• Multi-textured bodies, closer to the feel of small prey than smooth plastic.
• Light enough to be batted, flicked and carried, and to skitter on laminate or tile.
• Two styles in the range — fluffy fish and lacey mice — in assorted colours.
• Small enough to hide around the house for a cat to find on its own.
• Inexpensive enough to keep several in rotation rather than nursing one favourite.

Suitable For

• Indoor cats that need scattered, low-effort enrichment.
• Solo batting play as well as throw-and-fetch with you.
• Kittens through to adult cats.
• Hiding inside puzzle boxes, paper bags and cardboard tubes.
• Too small and light for dogs of any size — a dog will simply swallow one. The Ancol Playtime Chase Tough Rubber Ball is the right fetch toy there.

How to Use

• Throw one along a hard floor so it slides and changes direction.
• Hide two or three around a room and let the cat hunt them out.
• Rotate them in and out of a box so they stay interesting.
• Collect the toys up and look them over at the end of a session.

Specification

• Two designs: fluffy fish and lacey mice, in assorted colours.
• Ancol supply this line as a mixed display box of 24 pieces, so style and colour cannot be specified.
• Ancol product code 913530.
• Ancol publish no individual toy dimensions, no material composition and no catnip content, so none is stated here.

Care & Caution

• Small, light toys with fabric and thread detailing. Supervise play and remove any toy that starts to come apart.
• Tails, threads and lace can be swallowed. Check each toy over regularly and bin damaged ones rather than mending them.
• Keep them away from dogs and from children under three.
