"Both of my 1 1/2 year old kitties like this toy. "Stuck it to the window and off they went! I figure even if the toy doesn’t hold up from play, I could attach another toy at the end to get extended play. But that koi is pretty cute and seems to be hearty enough to last for a while!"

— DooDah

"The toy didn't last through first day. The kittens tore the bell out and ripped the fish off the string already. Not very durable for rough play. They really liked it and the suction cup feature was nice because it kept them playing without constant attention. But don't expect it to last very long."
