"My young cat has zero interest in this toy, but she spends most of her time outdoors. My old and arthritic cat doesn't like the outdoors and will not play with any toy that involves leaping and chasing, for obvious reasons. However, with this toy, she can just lie there and bat that lighted ball over and over. I've had this a month now and she scratches it every time she wakes up from a nap. She plays with the ball at least 4 times a day for 5 to 10 minutes per session. She will also play with it in the middle of the night, so I have to remove it if I want to get any sleep. Even I like to give it a twirl every now and then!"
