At our shelter, we have many of these in our Cat Habitat rooms where the public can visit & play with our available cats. They are a big hit with cats and people alike...especially kids. The feathers are attractive to cats, and the stick makes it easy for people to move it around without accidentally getting scratched.

Pros: entertaining for cats & people

Cons: none

I have never had a cat as a pet, but I have cat friends and they really love these toys. Great exercise for you and your cat (who will probably carry it around and hide it). The feathers do come out over time, but these toys are realatively inexpensive.

Pros: Great fun for you and your cat

Cons: feathers will fall off eventually
