"I bought this to supplement our old Kong Kickeroo, which was well-loved by our kitty Silver. Silver likes to drag it to us and then meow like he caught prey, LOL! As soon as I gave him this new toy, he went wild! He was biting it and tossing it into the air, and rubbing his face on it. He loves it! ..."

"I would not recommend. My cat destroyed the toy within 5 minutes. Stuffing coming out everywhere. And the stuffing is not something you want your cats to swallow."

Bottom Line

The KONG Kickeroo Giraffe Pattern Cat Toy is a fun but fragile option that might not be worth the price for its short lifespan.
