Highlighted Reviews
"My four year old rescue cat loves it! My only minor complaint is that I have to replace the ball frequently-he takes it out and takes it apart."
"My cat TRIES to play with this but the ball almost always stops where it is hidden by the supports! AND the ball is too heavy...it takes a mighty hit to make it light up and roll! I have tipped one side of the tray and she will play with it a little longer. As I said, disappointing!"

This toy can be a great addition to your cat's playtime, but expect some frustration with the ball aspect. Ensure you are prepared to replace the ball if it gets damaged or loses its light quickly.
