β€” Great

"This is the second one I’ve bought for my 8 month old kitten. He carries it around everywhere and loves to play fetch with it. The ball rattles so he comes running to it every time it’s shaken. Highly recommend."

β€” Donald

"Our cats aren't impressed. We have three cats and only one liked the toy. Too bad because they generally love other toys. Will give this one away to someone who might appreciate it more!"
