"My cat loves this! It is perhaps a bit small but my cat is only 7.5lbs so it is perfect for her. I would definitely get it again. - Teresa"

— Paula

"I purchased this in the buy 3 get 1 free and this is not liked by any of my cats. It must not have as much catnip or something because the other ones I purchased are greatly liked. - Paula"
