First off my cat is safe, miraculously, but this specific toy from Walmart is a serious health hazard for any cat that bites or chews! Today I found three bite-size pieces of the toy in one spot...and the rest of the toy was missing. I was thinking 'no way, thats way too big for him to have eaten' (it's about 7 inches long) and i searched frantically for the rest.
I was about to take him to the emergency clinic when I found it up high pressed against the wall behind a tall cabinet (cats...) and the rest of it had bite marks with other pieces ready to fall off. When i put the pieces together it turned out he didnt swallow anything, but this thing falls apart too easily to be a cat toy. You can break it if you bend it and twist it. The inside is made of something that reminds me of a pencil eraser. Definitely not built to last. I'll be throwing it away right now.
I can't speak for similar products, but my cat did really take a liking to it so if you want to recommend me something like this but 100x as durable then I'd be really happy to hear your suggestions. Just wanted to spread the word, and I'll definitely be doing a more thorough test of any new toys i buy for him. ^ ^
