He also likes to tear them to shreds and leave the sparkly innards all over the house. As a result we buy a big canister of them every year. Does Charlene shred her sparkly prey? Fortunately (but somewhat oddly) on the few occasions when a mouse has found its way into the house, Toby has not shredded his plaything. When 14 pound cat lands on mouse, mouse really stands no chance....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833186746180765380.post-9598454818937184972011-02-25T12:13:52.019-08:002011-02-25T12:13:52.019-08:00Retractable claws are a wonderful thing!Retractable claws are a wonderful thing!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626332693940984578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833186746180765380.post-22239716640286805302011-02-17T16:10:20.551-08:002011-02-17T16:10:20.551-08:00Wha-BAM!

You usually don't see them in the big box pet stores, unless they're part of an assorted toy pack. <br /> <br />You can find them at craft stores for much cheaper than pet stores, but they don't seem as sturdy as the pet store variety. They shred easily, and can become potentially hazardous. The pet store ones can shred eventually too, and when it gets to that stage, I always throw them out.Laurie Cinottohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967147917848409974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833186746180765380.post-57077287445001396702011-02-15T13:21:22.634-08:002011-02-15T13:21:22.634-08:00Whoa, look at her go!
