Pet Stages Shake Rattle And Roll

This appeared to be a cute toy from a human perspective, and my cats did like the noise they could generate in moving it. My cats are not picking it up in their mouths and shaking it like a rattle, though, that would be too human infant-like.

The cylinder shape limits the possible paths that it can roll, unlike a ball that can have more surprising turns and bounces. A jingle bell inside a ball provides more amusement to my cats than this toy. A human infant would probably enjoy this toy more than a kitten or cat.

Pros: Noise making attractive to cats

Cons: Cylinder shape limits path movement in fewer directions than a ball does.

My cat enjoys playing with this toy (although it's not necessarily her favorite). She will play with it if I roll it down the hall or back and forth ... otherwise, she doesn't play with it on her own. So, this is definitely a "bonding" toy!

Pros: Cat enjoys this toy.

Cons: Cat enjoys this toy only with person.
