"This hangs on a closet doorknob. It keeps my cat from clawing the door frames. He loves it! The best one I have found lasts a long time."

— Mylo

"occasionally used. almost never used for scratching. sometimes my cats like to bat the feather or chew on it, but it mostly goes ignored"

Bottom Line

This toy is more for looks and not a hit with cats to have for them to play or scratch and chewilng. The cats overall fumpute there is good for looks and there was talk about it being owned by a well to do cat.
