Persia has a couple of furry little mousies that used to rattle (I have
no idea why they stopped rattling) and they also used to have tails!
(heheh) This past week she's taken a renewed interest in these old
mousies. She's been batting them around, chasing them when I toss
them. Getting the zoomies, even! Whee!

I need to get her some new mousies like these. The problem is I keep
forgetting to put them on my shopping list. The last time I did
remember, the store didn't have them. I can't see buying them online
unless I can find free shipping and possibly an additional $ off promo
code. I guess she'll just have to make due with the old non-rattling
mousies for now.

Still, it gladdens my heart to see my lovely old gal dashing around,
playing with toy mousies

Are these the ones that are covered with real (long) rabbit fur? I don't
think they're being made any more....

The fur wasn't long, but yes, it was rabbit fur.

However, several years ago I found some for sale on eBay - and bought a
box of 60! Sad thing is the package said the dreaded words: "made in
China" (is that actually rabbit fur covering them? Comparing the feel of
these to what I remember rabbit fur felling like, I think it is - and I
get to pet some rabbits fairly frequently )... Oh well. There are
grey, black or white.... and after seeing those words, I decided to wash


(snippage)

Yep, they were rabbit fur. But these were all white fur with little felt
ears (green, pink) and thin strips of leather for tails. I couldn't tell
you where they were made but it was before the brouha with China and pet
food.

If you want, I could sent you a couple. I don't know if I have your
current addy, so email me at nalee1964 @ comcast . net

Thanks! I'd appreciate it but really, she's fine with the ones she has
right now. She doesn't mind they don't rattle any more.

Weebs says "Hi" to His Preshus Persia, sends hedbutts and nose kissies,
and will happily send some of "his" mousies to his sweetest grey kitty

Awwwww! Persia sends nose kisses right back to her sweet Weebs
