My cats love this toy! My 11 yr old.. owning the toy doesn't want to share it.. so she sits on it.. like, if it fits, I sits.. "this is mine!" She hardly plays, but when I brought this into her house she attacks it.. makes the ball roll. Then runs away, only to duck and watch the ball. So.. my 3 year old is obsessed with it too.. whenever my 11 yr old gets her but off it my 3 year old goes crazy!
