"My younger kitty is always in need of new entertainment and this toy was just the thing. He absolutely loved digging the toys out of the bowl and chewing on them! And he always answered the challenge when I put the toys back in the bowl."

— Kim

"my cat is not interested in this at all. When I take the little pieces out and to toss them to her, she’ll play with a little toys, but she doesn’t care at all about the bag and digging it out of the bag.. I think it’s way too small and should be redesigned."

Bottom Line

If your cat loves puzzles and you don't mind occasional durability issues, this toy is a great choice. Otherwise, consider other options for long-term use.
