Jumbo Sparkle Ball, Tinsel Balls for Cats - 2 Inches, Assorted Colors - Ideal Cat Exercise Toy

My cats love those little sparkle pom poms, but the tinsel comes out so easily and before I know it, my house is covered with it. These are much hardier -- so far no tinsel has come out at all! However, they are MUCH bigger than the ones my cats had before, which I think is a deterrent for my kitties. They don't love them as much as the little ones. If the company could make these smaller, I think they'd be perfect!

CONS- A little pricier than similar products- Wish they had a larger size (I had a softball sized pompom once, and it was SO funny seeing the cat pick it up in his mouth)PROS+ Cats LOVE them+ Super durable; they've played fetch for a couple hours over the last two days, and not a strand of tinsel fell out yet (normally my stairs would be covered in tinsel after playing fetch) UPDATE: started shedding tinsel moderately after a week, but balls still feel fine overall+ The tinsel is REALLY dense, almost as dense as the regular pompom fluff+ I didn't expect this, but the cats like the color variety & number of pompoms too; they get really excited when I dump the entire pack on the floor+ 2" pompoms are still big enough that it's hilarious seeing the cat run around with it in his mouth+ Large size means my cat doesn't try to swallow them whole (I had to stop getting craft pompoms)+ Absolutely my cats' favorite toys+ Big enough not to go under the stove/fridge or laundry room door

Cat LOVES them and they're big enough I don't have to worry about her trying to eat/swallow them. They seem pretty durable and so far no tinsel bits have fallen out.

I've changed my mind about these sparkle balls. THEY'RE GREAT! My cat enjoyed them so much that I reordered them (and am about to reorder them AGAIN). The second batch was much more durable than the first and DID NOT shed excessively. My cat tears into them, chews them up, chases and fetches them ALL DAY, and while they show wear-and-tear, they don't shed their tinsel. My first batch may have been defective. The second batch certainly puts up with a lot of abuse and love from my cat (who seems to prefer the dark-colored ones)OLD REVIEW:I want to love these sparkle balls as much as my cat does. These balls instantly became my cat's favorite toy (and she has lots of toys to choose from). The size it perfect. She would carry one around the house, play fetch with it for hours, etc. The problem is that within a day or so the balls started shedding tinsel like crazy. Soon the living room looked like Christmas morning, with all the loose tinsel strewn around. The cat had no interest in eating the tinsel, which is a good thing, and continued to play with the fuzzy remains of the ball. Still, I don't think these are entirely safe for hyperactive cats like mine, and unless you love to vacuum often, these sparkle balls won't be a friend of yours.

I wasn't sure about the size, the first ones I bought (another seller/brand) were VERY small. I could tell these were bigger. Wasn't expecting as big as they are. My cats love them. And even though these are bigger than their others ones they lost, these still get "lost" under things lolIf your furbabies are anything like mine, they will love these!Glad I got two packs! Got these for one cat, and another absolutely loves these too, and I have caught a few others playing with these too. LolThey also seem to be holding up pretty well, compared to other brands.Definitely worth getting. And will probably get more.

I ordered the "2 inch size" puff toy on the left from another brand. As you can see it is significantly smaller than the tuff kitty puff on the right. My cat destroyed the glitter tinsel on the other brand in a very short time. The tuff kitty puff has barely lost any tinsel so far. I just ordered the smaller size tuff kitty puffs for my cat to try because half the fun for him is stuffing the toys under the bookshelves & fridge & sofa and these puffs are so big they just bounce off lol!

Great cat toy

Took a chance on these and hoped they were the same as the ones I got from the store. The seem identical and the big guy loves them.
