The Petlinks Mystery Motion Concealed Cat Toy replicates the darting and dashing of a real mouse . The battery-operated control base in the center lets you set the speed of the feathered wand's movement for additional fun and entertainment. Your cat's brain is hardwired to respond to erratic movements - just like those delivered by Petlinks Mystery Motion. Toys that mimic the thrill of the hunt encourage even inactive cats to chase, pounce and leap, transforming playtime into exercise time. Requires 3 AA batteries (not included); use alkaline batteries for best performance. Has four speeds with an auto shut off to preserve battery life.
