I have a cat family, they crave interaction with each other, but also value time alone with certain toys.This is in their top ten list. I recommend donating one to your local shelter if their cat room has play toys.The quality of the product did not impress me at first, it's cheap plastic. Yet, longevity as a play toyhas been impressive, over a year now and still has appeal.I write this with one caveat, the toy on top will be chewed off by aggressive chewing. My boys destroyedit in a day. As other toys filled their rooms they came back to this again and again because batting theball around in the circle remains a constant challenge, particularly when their human is too busy to playball with them.
