"love the quiet shaker noise rather than a bell, and the fabric is nice and catches their claws like they like, the only thing i'm not fond of is the extra glue that is around two of the balls, hopefully it won't get licked off or eaten"

— Hbuch

"Poor quality not safe for cats unravels easily to many strings to chew off"
