Highlighted Reviews

— Karen

"My cats received this as a Christmas, they didn't think they'd engage, to but have been adoring."

— Ann

"It is very hard, stepping on it may fall and harm you."

Bottom Line

This toy might be enjoyable for younger cats. However, the overall quality and lack of consistent engagement from most cats make it less than ideal. Use it on hard floors for better rolling.
