"My cat has about 15 of these. Will play fetch down the stairs with this by himself for hours. A new one will have him yelling to have it thrown and will bring it back almost to the point of complete exhaustion."

"i didn't realize the weight of this toy and if i would have held it at a store i probably wouldn't have bought it. it's too heavy to be able to be batted around in a playful interactive way for my kitten at least. and my older cat didn't have much interest in it either."
