Mouse toy


 * This article is about the fun weapon used to entertain pet cats. For the clockwork item that players can craft in their houses, see Toy mouse.

The Mouse toy is a fun weapon gained from Bob the Jagex Cat after completion of the quest A Tail of Two Cats. The attack animation is similar to the Abyssal whip's, and many low-levelled players wield this to trick others that they have an Abyssal whip (this was later fixed after a graphical update to the game). It also makes a noise similar to the Abyssal whip when it hits an enemy merged with the noise of a Rubber chicken "whacking" someone. While operating and frequently while wielding it, you can entertain your cat with it. It only works if your cat is out, however. This item is not commonly seen, as its Attack and Strength bonuses are noticeably poor. However, it is often used in fun weapon duels at the Duel Arena.

It seems, the mouse toy also relieves you from having to entertain your pet kitten to keep ist from running off. Instead your character will automatically play with the kitten when needed as long as you have the toy equipped.



Trivia
Mouse toy
 * There was a glitch, where, if you finished the Quest "Ritual of the Mahjarrat", you were not able to reobtain the Mouse toy from Bob, due to the talk option with bob to retrieve it got accidently removed or replaced with a Talk option about the Quest itself.
 * A little known fact is that when using the Mouse toy during combat, it yields a 1+ combat experience bonus. However, due to the inferior Attack and Strength bonuses, it is rarely used in combat.
 * When using the mouse toy and then consecutively wielding a weapon, your character will wave what ever it has in its hands at the cat. This is very similar to the glitch discovered to be associated with the candy cane.
