"My cats love these. The current ones are in hiding somewhere and undoubtedly will make a reappearance if I don't find them first. I purchased more so that the new kittens in house could start out with clean fuzzy friends."

— Heather

"My cat instantly loved these but after playing with them for a few minutes, one of them developed a rather large hole in the fabric exposing the stuffing. She is not particularly rough on her toys, so it was such a shame to have only lasted a few minutes. the other one is still fine a couple of week..."

Bottom Line

If you're looking for affordable and fun toys for your cats, these are a good choice. Just be aware of the potential durability issues.
