"My cat really enjoyed the chirping sounds it made which caused him to want to play with it more and it kept him alert and attracted to it."

"My cat loves this toy. She's ripped out several of his feathers. We've had it 19 days, and it's already having issues chirping. Sometimes it will give a partial chirp. Other times it does nothing at all. If I give it a couple of good taps, it usually comes back, but she's really not that rough on it..."
