"I have heard excellent reviews on this toy and bought it the other day; it took my 9 week old Zoe 3 days to figure it out, but now she loves it! It keeps her busy and me out of harm's (claws, teeth, etc) way! She tries to yank it out of the plastic, and she loves pouncing it and looking for it. She does get bored of it after about 5 minutes, but she always goes back to it; I'm sure as she matures, she'll love it more and more. I would certainly recommend this toy, though I am sure it doesn't work for every cat, as cats are so individual, each like different play toys. But all in all, excellent!"
