SmartCat Toy Box Balls, Color Varies, 3 Pack

(Pics are all blurry since my cat gets so excited!) Creacher goes nuts when she sees me get this toy out and shake it around to get her attention. She'll scramble around chasing it for ages, and LOVES when I throw it as hard as I can across the apartment. Sometimes she grabs it and tries to "kill" it with her back legs. She loves this toy so much. BONUS: I used one of the balls to fix an issue with my blinds being shredded by their handle. I stabbed the ball and hot glued the tip of the handle and that fixed it! So it came in handy for more than just entertaining myself and my cat.

In fairness, these balls are marketed for use inside a puzzle box, whereas we just threw them around the house like any other ball. Utilized that way, they each only lasted one play session before they were too damaged to be safe. My cat loved batting and chasing them, but they're a bit too big for him to pick up in his mouth comfortably, and so it was difficult for him do so gently. His teeth would get impaled in the foam, the ball would get stuck, and he'd have to pry it out of his mouth with his paws before play could continue. The texture is somewhere in between astronaut ice cream and floral foam, so indentations can be squished in, but they don't bounce back like a more spongy or rubbery In fairness, these balls are marketed for use inside a puzzle box, whereas we just threw them around the house like any other ball.

As I said, we weren't using them "as directed" so these aren't complaints, simply words of caution if your baby happens to get a hold of a ball outside the context of the puzzle box. … more

My 2-year old cat has tons of toys, but for some reason THIS is his favorite ball! It rolls nicely, not too big, and it is semi-soft so my cat can pick it up in his mouth and carry it to new places he wants to play. I recommend it and will buy more!

I bought these for my 7-year-old cat and she loves them. They don't bounce, but she seems to really like pawing at them. My friends and family have commented that they had the same balls for their cats in the past, so it's a classic cat toy. I'm not sure if it's the stripe or light weight of them, but they're definitely a cat favorite.

I have two kittens and they absolutely love these, they also aren't hard so you don't have to worry about it hurting their paws or teeth! I definitely recommend these to anyone with hyper kitties!

These are the best balls for cats!! They can bite on them and they don’t fall apart. She carries them around in her mouth and loves chasing after them. I spray them with catnip spray. She loves them!!

My dog (10lb Fox Terr/Chi mix) loves playing with these balls around the house. He thinks he's a cat and who am I to tell him otherwise. He plays fetch and bats them around. The cats like them too. Perfect size for all.

My kitten loves to play fetch with these. They are soft enough that she can carry them in her mouth but tough enough to not fall apart. Will reorder once they are all “lost” under the washing machine.

These are supposed to be 'refills' for a puzzle box, but better than that is to use them on their own! They are fantastic! Nice, lightweight foam balls that are just the right size & my cats absolutely love them! They're so cheap enough, that I don't mind buying more when they seemingly go missing in the house either! They definitely keep, even the most picky of my kitties, self entertained for quite a while!

I think my main disappointment with these is that they do not bounce what so ever, it says they’re made of rubber and foam.. I’d think they’d bounce a bit. But at least they were cheap so oh well
