Cat loved it at first.

For the first three months we had this toy, our cat (Angus) loved it.  We'd hear him playing on it non-stop.  I think he's grown bored of it now, but for the use that Angus got out of it for the first couple of months, I think it was well worth the price.

Cats showed a lot of interest when I first put out the toy but hardly ever play with it anymore. The plastic stem does serve as a good chewing toy for teething kittens though.

works great, cat just wasn't too enticed by it after the first time.
there is only the one area the string appears from, and it appears in regular intervals.
perhaps if it were more random, or occasionally went the other direction.
The toy is sturdy, and I have no doubt it would have lasted a long time if the cat continued to play with it.
I chose to move the toy on to another pet owner for their enjoyment.

I want to give this 5 stars because my cat really liked it when she got it, liked it so much in fact that 20 minutes after she'd gotten it it looked like this. The scratching part pulls right out in several pieces! She's a pretty normal cat - destructive but not excessively so. As this is a scratching toy made for cats, you'd think they'd take into account that cats would scratch it...Anyways, she's not even into the ball part (not the fault of the manufacturer at all, of course) so this toy is pretty much useless to us without the scratcher part working. We've had it for two weeks now and I have to reroll it and stuff the cardboard part back in daily. I'm going to try putting some glue in the bottom to see if that helps hold it but really, I shouldn't have it. It should have come glued down I'd think?

The day I got this toy, my cat loved it. The second day the toy + string detached from the rod. Now the string is about to break & it'll be just like any other toy she has. I've only had this for three weeks & my cat is fairly petite, so it's not like she's using excessive force. Very cheaply made.

This is basically cardboard assembled in the way you see it in the picture. My cat loved the little think on the inside but soon was able to destroy it. This comes with some "oregano" or whatever that cats love so if you put some over it, cats will scratch it.

Not 5 starts because it's too light, sometimes the cat tries to play with it (he's a little crazy BTW) and it'll fall or whatever. They should figure out a way of putting some weight inside (which would probably increase shipping costs for them so IDK)

Loved it! And so did my cat...souch so she destroyed it early on. The butterfly and its wand are not very durable agaisnt my cat; who as my husband says, "goes hard in the paint." Won't buy again but at least I know it is the type of toy my cat will spend hours on.

When we first got it, all four cats loved the toy - kicking and hugging.  The littlest one, who's not much bigger than this toy, would drag it from floor to floor.  The bloom wore off the rose after about 2 weeks.  It's a catnip toy but unlike other Kong toys, this isn't refillable.  I'd buy another one if I could refill the catnip but for now I'll stick with the refillables.

My cat loves this and loved the little ball hanging inside... unfortunately she ripped it out after a few days...

The cat liked it but it does the intendancy to over flowing so you may have to play with it for awhile to get flow right..

I bought this pet toy box for my kitten, and she instantly loved it. The first time she played with it, it took her about 5 minutes to figure out how to take the ball out. She had such a great time, and we had a great time watching her. Then the second time she took a ball out, it only took her about two minutes to figure it out. Now our cat can take the ball out within about thirty seconds. She then loses the ball and loses interest in the toy. She will play with this toy once every few weeks, but in general, it doesn't keep her attention long enough for her to be interested in it. I do like the idea that one reviewer wrote about putting dry food in there. This is a good way to keep her entertained for longer periods of time, and I will try that. However, I do not think that this toy is worth the money it costs. If you're looking for a toy that will keep your cat entertained multiple times per day, check out the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Hagen-Catit-Design-Senses-Play-Circuit-Original/dp/B001LWRFW2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Hagen Catit Design Senses Play Circuit, Original</a>. We can hear our cat playing with this toy all the time, including when we are sleeping - I know it keeps her happy, and the ball cannot be removed, so it entertains for much longer periods of time. I do not recommend the pet toy box and I would not buy it again.

My cats LOVED the hell out of this thing. They love wand toys in general (literally drag them throughout the house 24/7), but they wore this one out like no other. Currently buying another one (after 2 months, they finally chewed through the plastic to get the rabbits foot). With that being said, maybe not the best toy to give them access to unsupervised if they have a habit of ingesting plastic. Great toy though.

My cat LOVED this toy, but she shredded the center burlap part and tore the stuffing out within weeks of getting it for her. Would love it if this was a little more durable.

he chewed it all up and now it's a ball that he doesn't touch anymore.  For any kind of cat toy, get a durable string toy instead of a toy that can be chewed right through.  My cat had fun with it for a while, but if you have a cat that likes to chew on things, this is not the toy to get them.

If the cat doesn't chew but just plays, this toy works great!  I only gave this three stars because I only got to play with my cat for 3 days before he mutilated the toy :).  That can be looked at as good or bad.  Hope this helps for all cat lovers out there.

My cat loved this thing. Played with it until it died (lasted around 9 months, thought it was longer than that). The squeak sound seems to be mechanical. My cat was pretty big and hard on it. Plus we would through it across the house, where it landed on wood floors. Over time the squeak sound began to sound more like a wounded animal than a scared one lol. One day it finally stopped, so we bought another. It was well worth it, the cat totally loved it. Best was hanging it at the end of a string, using a stick to swing it around. The cat would chase it all over the house.

This was a great idea and my cat got all the way to the last ring, then she rebelled. It was great while it lasted, the house was clean and did not smell. We are back to the litter box and am not sure I will try this again any time soon.

My cat loved it the very first time I gave it to her. Now she could care less. I guess that's just the story of being a cat owner! :)
