This cat toy is FANTASTIC! I don't think there is a single cat out there that can resist it. My two cats lunged at it in about two seconds as soon as I gave the ball a little shove to get their attention. They played with it together for about ten minutes straight and it was so amusing to watch them really get all energized over this toy jumping and slapping the ball to each other. They come play with it every time I pull it from the corner of the room.The cat scratcher middle is fantastic as well. I don't have a scratching post so when ever they start getting frisky and clawing my upholstered chairs I just slide out the scratcher and they immediately use that instead! Fantastic toy ...buy one for yourself and any friends who may have a sweet feline!I've had mine since August 2010 and im now on to the second side of the scratching card in case you're wondering if to get extras. You'll have some happy cats with this one!
