My eight year old cat, Rascal used to get lots of exercise from his 4 year old "brother" cat, Affetto. Unfortunately, Affetto unexpectedly and suddenly passed away in October. Rascal was becoming lethargic and I think he missed the interaction he used to have. Since I work outside of the home, I decided to get him a couple of activity mats, this being one of them. It arrived really quickly and Rascal immediately went to it. I hear him play with it constantly. My only wish is that it was taller so that he would have to stretch to get to the dangly toys but he is enjoying it and that is all that matters to me. 100% recommend.
