My cat also likes playing with it, I leave it out, sometimes putting a toy in it, so that it is a fun place ..."
"I bought this specifically for an extended trip we started two days ago. I used this for the first time today and could not disengage the handle. After looking at it closely, I discovered the peg will no longer retract. No amount of force will retract that pin."
