I thought this toy was a little odd - a wire with rolled cardboard on the end. its seemed springy enough to get my cats attention. But they didn't think much of it. Didn't entice them one bit. Then when i inspected it, i noticed that the wire was looped around the last cardboard 'stick' - the edge of the wire was somewhat sharp. guess it is safe enough but its just not worth it - and they didn't like it anyway... so that was that. shipping was fast.
