Frisco Colorful Springs Cat Toy, 10 count

We rescued an 8-year-old cat about a year ago. He was living outdoors and decided our doorstep was home. After building some trust we brought him inside but he's a bit more aloof than regular cats. He is a super interesting little dude - though he's not little and weighs about 18 lbs. as he's just a large-framed cat. All that being said, we've had a heck of a time finding toys he might like but because he was neglected for so long, toys haven't really interested him...until these springs! He goes bonzo over these. I was so happy to see him happy. The springs doe come wound together as you can see in the photo. I haven't tried to unravel them. He seems to like it just as it is! I took a photo of the springs so you could get an idea of size next to a 3.3 oz. can of cat food. A couple of reviews mentioned a dangerous size and one kitty almost choked? I don't see how that's possible. Our cat is huge and this would never fit in his mouth. I would be very cautious, though, if you also have a dog - I would be worried about a dog getting this in their mouth for sure in terms of a choking hazard. I see that Chewy has a few versions of this toy on their site so it could be that those mentioning the very small size and their cat almost choking (which is definitely a terrible thing) purchased a different version of this. One person didn't like that it doesn't 'spring' if she holds it down and releases. It's not that kind of spring :) I think it would probably work best on wood or tile floors as the joy for our cat is flinging it around and then pouncing on it or our tossing it across the floor and he chases it, but our wood floors help keep him interested as it slides across the floor. Cats are notorious for having a mind of their own, but at least in our case, our cat loves this toy.

I bought this initially for both of my cats, but one has taken a particular liking to them and the other doesn’t care! Vincent is obsessed with the green springs specifically, but blue is a close second. He will carry it around proudly, and loves using these to play fetch - especially when they bounce in random directions! It is now a nightly routine (and I will get screamed at if I forget) to retrieve any from under my dresser before I go to sleep so he can have them to play with overnight. I would love if these could be sold by color so I can get him a whole bunch of his favorites!!

I’m in my 70s and I’ve had cats all my life. I’ve had cat toys around all my life. The existing group of cats that I have in the house at the moment own every cat toy known man, in my opinion. They’ll play a little bit, with them but they preferrd cardboard boxes and paper towel rolls, and things like that over those expensive toys. I broke down and on a whim, I decided to buy the springs. Oh my goodness! They play with them night and day! Throw them around in the air, they played tug-of-war with them, they adore them! I’ll never buy anything else for any cat to play with but those silly little inexpensive springs!

Words cannot describe the joyus frenzy of the cryptic being that lives in my home when she sees a spring. She begins vibrating madly and screams the sacrament of the black abyss in jubilation. The biggest issue we have, is the rotten slobbery meat skulls of the other beings in the household enjoy stealing the objects of whimsy. Much to The Nemesis' dismay. 10/10 The Nemesis does not allow herself to be photographed in such a joyus state, pictured is one of the meat brained thieves with his ill-gotten prize. As well as a picture of the Glorious One, unfortunately with no spring.
