Customers are dissatisfied with the durability of the pet toy. They mention that the batteries don't last, the tail is almost disintegrated, and the feather on the back falls apart easily.

Customers are dissatisfied with the size of the pet toy. They say it is very small, like 1 inch long on the body, so the kitties like it.

Works on hard surfaces, crept under stove

Works on hard surfaces, crept under stove
This little toy (about the size of the head of a toothbrush, with a small tassel attached) is kind of cool, though it only works on hard floors. It spends about 70% of its time flipped upside down, which produces an irritating rattling sound, but if I can enjoy my morning coffee unattacked, fine. It took a while for our cat to warm up to it, now she finds it interesting/perplexing. The package says the toy will right itself when flipped over, but very rarely does that happen. Update: It can and will creep under a stove or refrigerator and get stuck, so be sure not to let THAT happen! Kitty alerted us to this misfortune but was no help in getting it out. My photo shows some of the tools you may need to extract it from under the stove.
