When the mouse laughs at the cat there is a hole nearby.

                                   ~Nigerian proverb

This little Mousekin can escape under sofas and chairs, behind book cases and many other places you wouldn’t think were large enough for—well, for even a mouse to fit! Your little kitten—and bigger ones too—will have hours of fun with quick-to-make and fun-to-give Mousekin! Best make several, they really will disappear in a puzzling way when your kitten gets batting them around from room to room, scrambling up on beds and sofas with them, and having tons of fun!
