Cats loved it. Loved it so much they eventually destroyed the housing (it's just cardboard) and then the actual articulating arm, but they got months of entertainment out of it to get to that state. In fact, I would bet the degree of satisfaction they got from actually conquering it bit by bit was more than they'd get from sturdier toys. I wish I could just replace the housing and the arm + feather since the rechargeable motor piece is still fine (and even still occasionally tries to spin what's left of the arm, so the cats still fiddle with it a little), but I think they got enough amusement out of it that I'll get them a fresh one to destroy again =)

Good for the price. Cat seems interested but not that much. You can’t expect that much on automatic toys because fundamentally it’s not held by a person who can play hide and hunt for real with cats. It lasts a bit short, just about 3 minutes, then it will go into sleep mode, unless anyone or any cat bumped it really hard it will not react. My cats both have the personality of paying careful attention to not knocking things off in the room, so they won’t hit this toy hard enough to trigger it running again.

definitely worth it at the $16 price point I got it for. keeps my cat interest enough that I'm happy with it. Just concerned about longevity of the cardboard as my cat likes to toss this thing around when she catches the feather. Might try and weight it down.
