The hit
My cat loves it. Even the cats of a friend are thrilled!! It's the first play wand that really gets her active and keeps her engaged for a longer time. Unfortunately, two of them broke after just a short play session.
Still, 5 stars ... Just for the fun the furry friends had up until then. :-)

Good idea - poor execution
The fishing rod itself is a great toy! The cats dropped everything else to play with the feathers. However, the feathers came off on the very same day. Overall, we repaired the rod about three times, and on the fourth time, the cats even bit through the thin string attached to the stick and, which really shouldn’t happen, chewed off the small rubber pieces from the stick (this could be dangerous!!).

Nice and long
A great toy that my cat really enjoyed.
The long rod was particularly convenient.
Unfortunately, the feather came off quite quickly.
Still, it's worth recommending for the price.

Absolute must-have
The fishing rod is absolutely amazing! My two tomcats love this rod and chase it all around the flat. The feathers are very well made and last quite a long time.

Good, but the stick splinters.
My three boys thought the fishing rod was great, except the pole was anything but great. Splinters came off, which were really hard to get out of their hands.

Things are really kicking off!
I've bought every kind of toy out there! Sometimes with more success, but mostly with less. With this one, both of my cats were jumping over tables and chairs. I've never seen them like this before. After 10 minutes, I had to hide it because they started panting. I make sure they only catch it briefly – it should last a little while, after all. For this fun and the affordable price, a full 5 stars. Attractive toys never last that long here anyway. :-)

Super angel
Got the fishing rod today, and my furry friends "stole" it growling and dragged it away... It's a great toy. I hope it lasts a while. I'll definitely be getting more of these rods.

Not suitable for large cats
Today I received the Bird cat wand. As soon as I started unpacking it, my two Siberian Forest Cat mix ladies were already in pounce mode and practically tried to snatch the wand out of my hands. After just 5 minutes, the feathers had come off, leaving me with only the wand in my hand. Now my cats are playing with the individual feathers. Overall, it’s a great hunting toy – but unfortunately not suitable for larger cats.

My cat loves it!!!
My cat loves feathers!!! She immediately took to this toy, and we love playing with it! She jumps so high to catch it!!! Her favourite toy at the moment! The length is absolutely perfect! Bravo!

caused anxiety
So, my cat, who is usually very playful and especially loves feather wands, is scared of this toy. Every time I waved it in front of her, she acted frightened. By the way, the toy doesn’t make any noises.

Crazy about it
My cats are absolutely crazy about this toy, especially when the feathers make "fluttering sounds" – there's no stopping them.
Their hunting instinct goes so far that the toy gets caught and dragged into a safe corner.
However, I’m deducting one star for the attachment of the feathers, as they come loose easily during wild play (even though I always secure them in place with a bit of tape).

Short-lived pleasure
The handle keeps falling apart, the springs lasted about 10 minutes. An absolute waste of money.

The absolute favourite toy
Normally, our cats lose interest in playing after 5 minutes, but with this wand, I feel like they’re completely transformed.

Great toy, poor workmanship
My tomcat loves this toy, but unfortunately, he pulls the feathers out of the holder after 10 minutes. I bought it in a pack of three because it doesn’t last him very long 😏

If it doesn’t last long ☹️
My cat absolutely loves chasing the "little bird". Thanks to the long rod, you can cover a large enough area to let her chase it around the whole room with ease. At a certain speed, the feathers even make a fluttering sound. But when my cat manages to get her prey between her claws, the fun is over O__O! The tip of the wand gets shredded!!! She grabs the feathers with her front paw and pulls them out of the holder. The first wand lasted a week. That’s probably why they’re sold in packs of three. A tiny consolation: Tammy still plays with the individual feathers. At least there’s that.

Popular, but breaks quickly
My girls love the bird, but unfortunately, the durability of the feathers is a bit of an issue. After barely 2 minutes of play, the bird was broken. We ordered it in a pack of three, so let's see how long these last.
Still, I would buy it again because they have so much fun with it.

The price says it all.
The assembly of the fishing rod is quite simple. Two plastic rods that fit into each other, a string, and 4 feathers attached to the string at the end with heat shrink tubing.
When our cat played with it for the first 10 minutes, the feathers fell out of the heat shrink tubing. Here's a tip: this can easily be fixed with duct tape, which holds much better.
After playing for a longer time, we noticed that the string twists relatively quickly, which is a bit annoying.

All in all great, but doesn’t last long!
My cats do love the fishing rods, but the last pack of three didn’t last long. One of the rods broke just two minutes after unpacking, meaning all the feathers were gone. Another one lasted maybe a week... such a shame, the cats would love to play with them...

Doesn't last long
My little cat loved chasing the feathers, but unfortunately, the wand is poorly made, and the feathers are only held together with a heat shrink tube. Sadly, the whole thing didn’t even last 3 days before all the feathers came off. For a product that’s supposed to cost €4.09 normally, it’s far too expensive.

Miserable
Jaina was absolutely thrilled when her new fishing rod arrived. She unpacked it straight away and was already playing with it. But by the very next day, I found the rod dismantled into its individual parts. The previous rod lasted a good two years and was used daily, but unfortunately, the material on this one was so cheap that it was no challenge for Jaina to rip the feathers out of their holder and chew through the holder, which is made of rubber. Such a shame...
