"My Bichon loves this toy. He usually kills the light up part the first few hours but loves it for months after the light goes out."

— Kashka

"Unfortunately unless I...yes unless I picked it up and threw it against the wall or bounced it hard on the floor the lights didn't flash. According to the description if rolled or tapped by my cat's paws the ball light should have flashed but didn't so sadly there was NO PLAYING WITH IT for Zachary"

If you're looking for a short-term, fun cat toy, this could be a good pick. However, be aware of the durability issues before making a purchase.
