Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this for my one year old cat who has many toys he enjoys so I didn't hesitate to purchase this for him. Within a very short period of time, we were on the way to a 24 hour vet because he swallowed part of the string. Long story short, and $450.00 later (thank God for pet insurance) we saw it on the X-ray and and had to monitor him for 36 hours to see if he passed it on his own. Thank God he was ok but the vet said if he started to throw up it was a sign that they would have to do exploratory surgery to remove it as it could be fatal. You literally have to sit right next to this thing every SECOND your cat plays with it. It only took a matter of minutes for my beloved cat to be put at risk. Why would you design a toy that encourages cats to play with a string that can easily and I mean easily be digested. Should not be on the market, don't risk it, its not worth it. My little buddy is just fine but I feel the need to let others know how dangerous this product is.
