My cats LOVE this toy. They love it to death…well at least to pieces. My female will carry the whole cat dancer around the house and to me to toss for her to (maybe) play fetch. It’s a wonderful size and texture…However, the problem with that is: the life of the bee is about 2 or 3 days before I find the bristly material all over the house, and all over the medium hair cat. Its lifespan (in my house) is about a month, if I limp it along. And my crew isn’t really that rough with toys, but one will rip at it if I’m not watching, It’s a GREAT toy and they all love it, but it’s just a bit too fragile for my crew. Trying to find a suitable alternative.
