I wish there was a law requiring dangerous cat toys to be removed and banned completely from production. This fun-promising toy can kill or permanently hurt your cat and it actually did happen to us. We loved the idea of self-entertenined animal (this was before we realized that it is entirely unfair to have one cat and ever since we paired our cat with another cat and continue doing so for a decade we have happy healthy emotionally and socially balance animals).. Anyhow back to the toy: STRANGULATION PART: We bought this toy for our young - about 4 months or so youngster who LOVED to play with it, we set and marveled at all fun he had swinging, pouncing at it and literarly swinging by the teeth on it. It looked oh so cute.. for many months.. then .. one day he did some unfortunate maneuver and swinged in the air, looped and jumped and hoped while holding it in the mouth - I assume - because I did not see exact acrobatics in place but all of the sudden I heard some LOUD and traumatic banging and noises.. it was our cat actually strangulating himself and he tried to set himself free in a desperate moves he was throwing his body uncontrollably between doors to the bathroom, outside and closet doors making those scary noises and he pulled the loop tigher and tighter. I runed with the knife and set him free, he was absolutely TRAUMATIZED for weeks if not months of that space, let alone the toy that we removed immediately and threw out!!! cut in pieces so no unsuspected garbage digger would salvage it from our apartment trash collector place and did harm to other animal in the same unsuspected way.. TEETH DAMAGE - We did not realized what horrible damage we did to the new and growing permanent teeth of the cat we did. When the vet saw him upon his visit because his canine teeths were growing sideways and lots of other teeths were out in each direction.. the doctor said that THIS WAS DONE NOT BY ANY OTHER THING BUT THE STUPID TOY.. he said that the way the teeth were growing shows that they were subjected to constant pulls in haphazard manners and and because it was done regularly and with great force and for a long time the teeth exhibited the strangest growing directions damaging cat's natural biting ability and normal teeth positioning. it was NOT diet NOT genetics as it was determined by the orthodontic vet who have seen it all. We were so mad and so upset but what could you do but warn others. There are TONS of other cat toys, ever since we learned that the best ones are home made ones that do not require any fancy contraptions that will hurt your cat, do not contain chemicals and colors and do the same thing minus the damage. The best cat toy is another cat.. second best is anything you can spare at your home and make a fast toy.. take a plain paper sheet from your printer, crumble it into a tight ball, or half of a page or less for a smaller kitty and roll it on the floor, throw it far and watch your kitty chase it with gusto.. voila, free toy! and bits the c.. of paid balls... it is recyclable and you can make it any time! get a piece of organic string that you have in your kitchen to tie turkey or visit grandma and cut a yard of her pink, red or blue thick woolen or cotton thread.. oh my gosh pull it on the floor or sofa and your cat could not be happier! bits the c.. of any 5$ cat toys. take your flash light and you rally don't need a laser gun that btw.. can hurt your cat's eyes if kitty looks directly into it... or.. go to home depot buy those thin sticks, tape a piece of thread to it and a piece of a black or gray or white clothes in the manner of a bow.. whatever shape just to resemble size of a mice or so.. and pull pull pull andw watch your cat go gaga... Whatever you do DO NOT USE THE OVER THE DOOR CAT EXTERMINATOR!!!
