You shouldnt leave your cat unattended with this. We made one a few years ago and left for the weekend(we had set it up in a chair, the cats loved it) and we came back to find my cat, Tiger, at the end of it with the line around his neck :*(

It works with dogs, they play fetch, remember? keep in mind that dogs love to play tug of war, so don't let them catch it. You can also fish for ducks/geese with bits of bread on the end, or you can put a dollar and some lead sinkers on the end and fish for people.
