One of our cats loves to play fetch with raffia sticks that we cut from a bundle of it you can get from the craft store, as well as puff balls - when we saw this we were really excited. It was a puff ball and raffia in one - we thought Clack would love it. But he wasn't interested. It was too large to be easily batted around - when he bats it, it barely moves. It was also too large to easily pick up in his mouth. The only time he or our other cat show any interest is when we tease them with the raffia on the ends, but once we put it down and it's no longer being dangled in their faces, game over.

Pros: Soft with a nice crinkle sound

Cons: Cats showed little interest unless we moved it around
