"Yes, as others noted it fell off the stick within a few play sessions. But my kitten likes to use it to fetch! He absolutely LOVES to carry it around without the stick."

— Mary

"Did not even last five minutes. It’s in three pieces as you can see in less than five minutes. I knew that it wouldn’t last long but I did expect it to last at least a couple of weeks. Very disappointed"
