Winding the mechanism stores a limited amount of mechanical energy, which moves the wheels after the toy is released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it require batteries?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The mouse is operated entirely by its manual wind-up mechanism. No batteries are included because none are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this an electrical or smart toy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It does not require electricity, charging, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, an application or a remote control. It is a simple mechanical wind-up toy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I start it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGently wind the mechanism in its intended direction, place the mouse on a suitable hard and level floor, then release it. Avoid overwinding or forcing the mechanism after it becomes resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will it move after being wound?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt moves for a limited period following each winding. No fixed running time has been specified. Duration and distance may vary according to the amount of winding, floor friction and condition of the mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it move continuously?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It must be rewound after the stored spring tension has been released. It is not a continuously powered or rechargeable toy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it work on carpet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Carpet and rug fibres create resistance around the wheels and can prevent the toy from travelling correctly. Use it on a smooth, hard and flat surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich floors are suitable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaminate, vinyl, smooth tile and sealed wooden flooring may be suitable, provided the surface is clean, dry and level. Movement can be interrupted by deep grout lines, thresholds, gaps or uneven sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be used outside?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndoor use is recommended. Outdoor ground is more likely to be uneven, wet or dirty, which may restrict the wheels or affect the internal mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cat that normally has outdoor access can still enjoy the toy indoors on a suitable floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for kittens?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt may be suitable for kittens that are large enough to interact with it appropriately, but all play must be closely supervised. Remove the toy if the kitten attempts to tear, chew or swallow any part of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for adult cats?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it can be offered to adult cats with compatible play preferences. Age alone does not determine interest; individual cats respond differently to movement, texture and toy size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill every cat play with it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot necessarily. Cats have individual preferences. Some may chase the mouse immediately, whilst others may watch it cautiously or show little interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA gradual introduction, short sessions and rotating the mouse with other toys may improve its novelty, but interest cannot be guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it contain catnip?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatnip is not listed in the supplied materials or specifications. Do not open the toy or alter its internal construction to add catnip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it produce lights or electronic sounds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo light or electronic sound feature has been confirmed. A small amount of mechanical noise may naturally be produced by the spring and wheels whilst the mouse is moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan my cat play with it while I am away?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupervised use is recommended. The mouse contains plush, plastic, wheels and a mechanical component, so it should be stored out of reach when a responsible person is not available to monitor play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it a chew toy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is intended for chasing, pouncing and batting rather than persistent chewing. Remove it if your cat begins biting through the plush or attempting to expose the mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the toy prevent boredom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can add movement and variety to a cat’s play routine, but it should be used alongside other forms of enrichment and regular interaction. No single toy can guarantee that a cat will remain occupied or prevent boredom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it relieve anxiety or stress?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product is not a treatment for anxiety, stress or any behavioural condition. It is a play toy that may provide an additional opportunity for activity. Consult a veterinary professional or qualified feline behaviourist if your cat shows persistent signs of distress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long should each play session last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no fixed duration suitable for every cat. Short sessions are generally a practical starting point. Continue whilst your cat remains interested and relaxed, and stop if they lose interest, become frustrated or begin handling the toy destructively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I leave the toy available all day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStoring it between sessions allows you to inspect it regularly and may help preserve its novelty. Rotate it with other suitable toys rather than relying on it as your cat’s only form of play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I clean it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the exterior carefully with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow it to dry fully. Do not soak, machine wash or submerge the toy because water may reach the internal mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I do if the wheels collect hair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStop using the toy and carefully remove loose hair or debris from around the wheels. Do not use sharp tools that could damage the plastic or internal mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I do if the toy becomes damaged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake it away from your cat immediately and replace it. Do not continue using the mouse if the plush is torn, plastic is cracked, a wheel is loose or any internal component becomes visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the approximate dimensions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mouse measures approximately 13.5 cm long, 3.5 cm wide and 6 cm high. As the product is measured manually, an approximate variation of 1–2 cm is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy might the colour look different in person?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhotography, surrounding light, screen brightness and colour settings can affect how the product appears.
