ABSTRACT:
A device that broadcasts several different mouse related sounds to entice an animal into play and necessary claw scratching is comprised of a hollow rock-shaped housing having a flat base. A dual circuit electronic sound synthesizer is concealed within the hollow housing and its first circuit is activated by an on-off switch. The first circuit broadcasts an intermittant mouse related scratching sound. The second circuit is activated by a pressure sensitive switch pad located in each access opening on the housing's surface thereby broadcasting a brief mouse related squeaking sound when activated by an animal's paw. A claw scratching material is affixed to the housing surface, whereby an animal may satisfy its claw scratching needs.
