Cat loves, but not suitable for unattended use
This company has great customer service. They recognize that the “tails” the toys come with are obliterated by the cat pretty quickly, and it only comes with a few tails. They reached out and offered to send me more before I even asked about it. I want to keep him stimulated when I’m at work all day, so we have a lot of toys. But…My cat LOVES this toy, possibly more than any other I’ve introduced, and I sadly had to remove it from his environment. The tails are made out of a silicone-like material that unfortunately attracts fur to it’s surface and it’s nearly impossible to remove it. Along with a couple of other key obstacles. The “tail” on the toy is long, skinny, and whipping around in a circle incredibly fast.The first dead giveaway to how good this toy is at collecting fur was that I had to take nail scissors and cut hair away from the base of the rotating rod which holds the “tails” every few days or the hair would cause the toy to stop spinning, making it inoperable until I manually cut it loose.I had to cut out several tiny chunks of silicone from his belly fur and I wasn’t sure how they came to be there. One day, I saw the toy somehow dragging below him as he walked in the room. I could see he wasn’t holding it with his mouth – I was dumbfounded. The tip of the “tail” was entangled in his fur. What was happening? How was this happening? I cut him free, then immediately watched him stupidly repeat the steps he took to get himself in that very same situation. In his defense, he wasn’t doing it on purpose.The tip of the “tail” would end up in his fur and twirl it in circles rapidly until it became stuck in a knot. Then Leonard, my cat, would nibble at it (ingesting fur) until there was just a tiny piece of silicone left in a matte of fur. Then he’d work at it for a while (ingesting fur), before I’d insist to cut him free. The cats do obliterate the “tails” quickly, indeed.The Google has told me a cat should produce no more than 1 hairball a week. That grosses me out because I’ve never noticed a single hairball until this toy, so wth are they? Anyway, throughout the short duration in which we had this toy, my cat was having a blast! But he was also vomiting hairball after hairball – some concerningly large. On account of all the things I have mentioned in this review, I deduced the issue was the toy, took it away, and the problems went away with it.It’s really bittersweet because he adored the toy. The way the “tails” move when they’re NOT stuck in his fur blows his mind! I sometimes allow him to play with it for a short time, but I don’t let him free-play with it anymore. I personally do not believe it’s suitable for unattended use.Edit: This company truly has amazing customer service. They have tried everything in their power to make my cat a happy kitty and they have done so. They came up with a solution for the problems I mentioned with this toy and sent it to me, and when that didn’t go according to plan, they even sent me something else to test out. I can’t thank them enough for joining me in the cat toy journey and I hope their company flourishes as it ages.

Great interactive toy
My cats love this toy! It allows them to play independently. I had to buy a 2nd one because they weren’t sharing. Lol. The only disappointing thing is that they don’t seem to hold a charge. I am charging them about every other day when they’re used maybe 3 to 5 times a day. Seems like a lot of charging for limited use. The other thing that would be a great enhancement is a setting that allows it to turn on when the cat moves it rather than me having to hit the on off button for them to play with it. But overall great toy, the cats love the hunt!

Not durable.
I give the low rating because my cat easily bites through the silicone tail. And I don’t wish to buy a whole other set. It would be helpful if there was a way to just buy attachments but also more durable ones. Also, it’s extremely loud against my hard floors. The rubber band bumper doesn’t do much but collect dirt and hair. So it is helpful in notifying I need to clean. My cat finds this extremely entertaining as it gives him a hunting simulation (he loves lizards). So his rating would be 5/5 stars per his begging for it at charging area.

Unsafe to eat!
I bought this toy for my 10 month old cat thinking it’d be fine to let him play with it while home alone for some stimulation and since they say it’s “food grade silicone” and it’s “100% safe”. I think both of those statements for this product makes it sound like this toy is safe if your cat does end up eating pieces of it. Well it is not!! My cat ended up eating many pieces of this toy and the only reason I found out was after some breathing issues and a trip to the vet, the vet recommended an x-ray and we ended up finding out my cats belly was full of foreign objects/materials. They did surgery immediately and they asked if I wanted to see exactly what was in his belly, so I said yes. They sent me a picture and baggie of everything they pulled out, and this toy was probably made up about a quarter of what was in his belly, and it had been in there for at least a month or two! I have pictures. So this toy is not edible! If your cat eats it, it will stay in his belly forever until it’s surgically removed! Change the advertising of this toy to make it clear that this toy is not safe for cats to eat! For potential buyers, if you do buy this toy, I would supervise your cat playing with it very closely so you can avoid a $2,400 surgery.

At first he was afraid, but my Maine Coon quickly loved this thing. However it MUST be supervised! The tail whips around like crazy. Within a couple minutes, it immediately tangled itself in his tummy fur and sent him sprinting through the house in fear. I see a lot of reviews saying that eating the tail can also cause some pretty nasty health issues which concerns me. It also got tangled in his whiskers at one point. Not sure if we will use it again as it’s just very dangerous – even though he does appear to be having fun with it when supervised.
