My sister sent me one in 1986 and it was an instant success. Two cats played with it all the time. I had to hide it yet they still asked for the toy. Waking up with coffee in bed and a magazine, I heard a dragging sound coming from the front room, then through the living room, the dining room, the hall and into the bedroom. Patch had the cloth in her mouth and dragged the entire toy up on the bed, sat on my lap, dropped the cloth and then knocked the magazine out of my hands. Play time was on!
