"This ball is entertaining to both kittens and adult cats. My old kitty had one for years before it stopped working. Glad to find another one for kittens."

"Personally, I think it looks/feels/acts like a great cat toy, but for whatever reason my cats couldn't care less. I gave it to a friend with a kitten, and her kitten absolutely loves it! So I think as long as your cat is more of a ball chaser instead of a mouse chaser, this is the toy for you!"
