My cat LOVES this new toy I got him.  It was the best $7.99 I've spent on him in a very long time!!  I sprinkled the cat nip provided around the middle and he really got after it!  He used to scratch ONE chair of mine and that has reduced by at least 75% since giving him this toy.  Also, he LOVES to play with the ball! It's great because, although I taught him to fetch, I don't always have time to play fetch when he wants to and wit this toy he amuses himself by batting and chasing the ball around and around - he stalks it and when the ball finally comes to a complete stop, he pounces on it! LOL :)  I plan to order the other attachments for this toy in the near future!!
