The exercise ball didn't last very long. It's great for sitting, but not so great if a huge orange tabby insists on jumping up into your lap. With his ridiculous back claws extended.
The cats weren't very interested in the ball, other than to sniff it, because it's not stable. They never even attempted to jump up on it. Then, one day, when Allen was sitting on it and finishing up some work, O'Malley (the aforementioned giant orange tabby) decided he had to be in Allen's lap at all costs. In the process of jumping up, he gouged a hole in the ball with his back claw. Allen reported that the ball slowly deflated instead of bursting, which is amazing given that the gash was a good half inch long.
So good news: the ball won't burst, even when punctured. Bad news: we had to order a new ball. Thanks for the field test, O'Malley.
