Highlighted Reviews

— Cat

"I call it the 'golden snitch.' What's great about this one, compared with other teaser toys, is that the ball is somewhat weighted, so it's easy to direct it and make it move like real prey. My cats are happy to play with it for 20-30 minutes, multiple times a week."

— PJ

"I tested the feathers, and they fell out with very little effort. I called Chewy customer service and they refunded the product."
