"I LOVE this toy. I will say do NOT put that second stick in the hole if you don’t want to use two at a time, it will not come out so I hold back the other wire to play with my cat. He absolutely loves it on the wall but also is great to use for him to chase."

"Depending what kind of cat you have, this toy can be fun but my cat did not engage with this at all. The base falls over quickly & doesn’t stay suctioned to the floor or any other surface I try to attach it to. Don't Recommend."
