"My girl has an obsession with green milk/water circles that you pull off to open the gallon. These are very similar and she loves to throw them up and chase them."

— Lois

"These used to be made with a rubbery material and my cats loved grabbing them in their teeth and running all over with them. These new ones are a hard plastic, and they could care less about playing with them. I think these will go right in my trash can."

Bottom Line

While there are a few positive reviews, the majority of users did not find this toy to be engaging or enjoyable for their cats. Given the price, it may be worth looking into other cat toys that are known to have better appeal and durability. If you do decide to try the Flippers, be prepared for the possibility that your cat may ignore it entirely.
