"The cat loves this fish! Flips it up in the air and catches it, plays until tired and then starts playing with again after they have rested!"

— Chris

"Bleh. It's a bit fun for humans (at first)....but for our cats, this was a solid NO. The flopping and noise just scared them, and then they totally ignored it. Yet another piece of electronic junk that cats ignore."
