You could probably do what the lap cat people do and just stuff a glove and shirt sleeve as a decoy. (They stuff a pair of pants, I’ve done that and it works well until they wise up so use sparingly!)
As long as it’s in the right place, it’ll probably work. For a bit. Might need a decoy mouse attached to it - have any old dead ones?
Unless what the cat wants is those slight movements and the “aww cmon” instant attention it gives :)
Their crispy potato taco is the only thing I still go there for. And that’s suuuuuuuuper rare, like once every year or two.
I’m not vegetarian or anything, it’s just the only thing worth getting imho. It’s been on their budget menu since forever.
