Remote Control Mouse
Most mechanical mice move, well, mechanically, which means unconvincingly as far as Ms. or Mr. Mittens is concerned. This mousy toy, however, features a remote control that allows you to move the rodent backwards, forwards and into tail-spinning circles -- just like a real rodent (within reason, of course). The wireless mouse connects to the remote for charging, so the toy can always be ready when your cat is in the mood to pounce. $19.99.
