"My cats love these! They enjoy carrying them and bouncing them around by themselves. They also beg me to throw them and bounce them off things to chase. Not durable enough to last forever, but loved by them enough that they are easily worth it. We like these more than the ethical pet brand soccer sp..."
"I thought the wooly texture would make them a hit, but she's doesn't seem to notice it, and is not very interested so far. They don't bounce really, and they don't fling as easily as ping pong balls or light weight rubbery ones."
Bottom Line
While these balls provide hours of fun for cats who enjoy chasing and bouncing toys, the durability and material concerns make them a less-than ideal choice for long-term use. Consider the frequency of play and supervision needs for your cat before purchasing.
