Our cats love it
Our Coonies are absolutely crazy about the Bird. As soon as it’s put away, they start meowing and complaining. Their favourite toy at the moment.

Our tigers go absolutely crazy for it!
This toy fishing rod is absolutely adored. Our tomcat goes crazy chasing after it until he's completely worn out... Sure, it doesn't last forever, but for the price, I wouldn't really expect it to.

Broken after 15 minutes.
My two cats love this toy! It apparently imitates a "real" bird for them, and they absolutely love chasing after it. Unfortunately, after 15 minutes of playing, the feathers were torn off :-)
I tried sewing them back onto the little leather piece and the string – now it works better!

Short-lived gaming fun
My Coonies loved playing with the toy wand, but unfortunately, it doesn’t last more than a day or two. Either the feathers come out, or the lower feather part falls off completely. Such a shame.
I’ve ordered several already, always the same problem.

Great fun to play, but poor quality.
My tomcat thinks this wand is brilliant and could play with it forever without getting bored. However, it's not entirely safe, as when the cats chew on it, the feathers come loose and the plastic splinters. Unfortunately, I can't let him keep his "prey" once he's caught it and have to take the toy away again. Despite the lower quality, I'm giving three stars because my tomcat has a lot of fun with the wand, and for the price, I didn't expect something that would last forever.

Super toy
My two cats go absolutely crazy for the feather wand. They play with it until they drop. Brilliant! :)

3-piece set unfortunately broke quickly
I also bought the fishing rod in the 3-piece set, and after just 3 days, the feathers came off the first one. However, since the string was still fine, I attached something else to it. After barely 2 weeks of use, though, the string at the front was almost completely chewed through. The fun deserves 5 stars, but the quality only one, hence the average rating.

Cat catcher!
The fishing rod is THE favourite toy for my cats.
They’re absolutely crazy about it.
It’s best to secure the swivel to the feathers with 1-2 drops of superglue and attach another swivel to better compensate for the twist of the feathers – this way everything lasts much longer.

Dear Angel
All the previous fishing rods were nice enough but became uninteresting after just a few minutes. But this rod is absolutely brilliant. Our little one has endless stamina, to the point where your own arm starts to ache. Really great for tiring them out. After three hours of play, it's still intact—I think it'll stay that way for quite a while...

Great fun to play but poor quality
For our two cats, this wand toy instantly became a favourite. I ordered a set of three. The first wand broke after 10 minutes, the second after another 10 minutes – such a shame!!!! With the third one, I reinforced the heat shrink tubing, and it lasted for three days until this morning. Now the feather holder on this one is broken too.
I’m giving 2 stars (actually 5 for the fun factor), but the quality is just too poor. I would have preferred one wand for £5 with good quality rather than three with very poor quality :(. A good idea was unfortunately executed very badly here.
I’ve now ordered another set and will reinforce it with proper heat shrink tubing and a sturdy holder before using it, so my two don’t look at me so disappointed after just 10 minutes again.

Even the laziest house cats will come out from behind the stove.
I ordered this fishing rod twice.
Both my tigers absolutely love it. They play with it extensively. Unfortunately, they play with it until it breaks. The first rod broke after just two days. But at such an affordable price, it’s not a big deal.
All in all, a great product.

Great activity
Since my cat is hard to impress with toys, I decided to buy this cat wand. I was very surprised because my cat loved it from the very first second! She could chase the wand for hours or simply watch it intently!
What I don’t like so much, though, is the "rod extension" – it makes the feather bounce around less, which is why I don’t use the extension.
If the feathers get pulled out, they’re easy to put back in and hold firmly, which I find positive!
Unfortunately, my cat chewed on the "holder" where the feathers are attached, causing the string to come loose, which isn’t so easy to fix.
The price-performance ratio is great, the wand is fun for both owner and cat, and for that reason, it’s recommended and will be purchased again!

Fun top - Quality flop
The cat loves the fishing rod.
Right during the first play, the feathers came off... Three days later, the string snapped...

The cat loves the fishing rod.
The Bird cat wand is a big hit with my little cat. When I use it for playtime, she even ignores her favourite treats just to make sure she doesn’t take her eyes off the wand.

Broken after just a few seconds.
Good toy, but broken after 10 seconds.
Either the springs fall apart, or the entire spring comes loose from its anchoring.
This has always been a problem—it's a shame the manufacturers can't find another solution.

Fresh out of the packaging, it's THE hit. But it doesn't last long.
My panthers are absolutely crazy about the dancing feathers. Even my lazy little chubby one gets moving quickly with it.
Unfortunately, one wand is usually broken after the first play session. Gluing doesn’t help much. It works best if you use needle and thread to attach the feather quills to the metal ring part and the black casing. That way, it lasts a bit longer...

A tip to counteract the durability of the toy
Helios and Bastet absolutely love this cat wand! It’s really great because the two of them can chase after it like crazy and still haven’t lost interest in it even after months!
Unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, the quality of the wand is disappointing! After just one day, it lost all its feathers. So, what did we do? We stuck the feathers back in, wrapped some tape/parcel tape or something similar around it, and voilà, it was good to go again!
If your toy breaks, don’t despair—just gather up the feathers and follow the steps I’ve just described! Best wishes!

Super toy
My cats love this wand toy :) they just can't get enough of it.
Yes, it might break a bit faster than other toys, but for the price, it's definitely worth it. And if you show a bit of creativity, you can also reinforce the wand really well :)

Favourite toy
I'm already using the third cat wand, and it's absolutely the undisputed favourite toy of my two cats.
Nevertheless, I'm only giving four stars because the craftsmanship doesn't hold up to long, extensive play sessions. The feathers are simply inserted into the plastic holder, which means that the cat can pull them out while playing, causing the whole structure to become unstable sooner or later, no matter how often you put them back in. I've already considered adding a few drops of glue to the next wand, but I can't say how well that would hold. Once they've completely destroyed the last one, I might try using feathers from the craft section and make a wand myself. The stick always ends up being the only part left in the end.

Super
Perfect for playing – I heard my cat's excited chirping for the first time :) The long stick is really great.
Unfortunately, the feathers break quickly (lasted only a week).
Still, I'll order it again – the price-performance ratio is spot on.
