My cats love this toy! Even my 20-year-old had a little play, even though she usually doesn't play anymore.

From day one, it's been a hit! Even timid cats are lured out of their hiding spots. The feathers do get pulled out quite easily, but even without them, it gets undivided attention. The feathers can be tied back on afterwards. As soon as the wand comes out, all other toys become irrelevant. ;-)

My cat is extremely lazy; at most, she'll play with a ball by herself – but this one wand toy is the only thing that gets her moving, out of the 231 different wands I’ve tried (or so it feels). Since my kitty is very delicate and gentle, the wand doesn’t break easily. My rough-and-tumble tomcat, who catches real birds, is just as crazy about it but managed to destroy it straight away. Since it comes in a pack of three and is reasonably priced, it still gets full marks – because it makes my kitty happy.

On the very first day, my cat tore out the feathers – short playtime.

My cats are siblings but can’t stand each other. Ever since I started playing with them together using the cat wand, they’ve been getting along really well! My tomcat starts chattering as soon as he sees the thing. Both of them play very wildly with it, and it’s ‘still’ not broken. I’m thrilled!

The fishing rod is easy to assemble and the pole itself is very sturdy. Plus, the length of the rod and the string are perfect for chasing the kitty around the room without any personal effort. >> The only problem is: You must NOT let the cat pull too hard on the attachment, as it gave way after 20 minutes of wild play and came loose from the string. Unfortunately, it couldn’t be reattached either, as the feathers then came out of their casing. << Well, maybe my tiger went a bit overboard. At least he had fun for the short time it lasted :)

I got myself three of these, but the first two broke straight away after the first use, or rather, my cat tore them off. Let’s see how long the third one lasts. Now I’m also attaching treats to the rod ;) Recycling. On the positive side, the rod is long, so when sitting down, the cats can run around in a larger radius. Hence, one star.

This fishing rod wonderfully imitates the "flight of a bird" and immediately drove my cat wild. However, within MINUTES, he had shredded the thing—it’s not stable at all. Since it’s just slotted together, one part of the rod gets pulled out of the rest of the stick when tugged on, which might actually be a good thing, as it could prevent the cat from injuring itself if it plays too wildly, pulling on it and getting the string caught between its teeth and claws. You might be able to stick the feathers back into the shaft once or twice, but even then, it has absolutely no stability. If the cat gets the rod between its paws, it’s game over, which, of course, only motivates humans even more to imitate the cleverest prey possible ;)

My cat loves the toy like crazy! Unfortunately, all the feathers came off on the very first day. I keep sticking them back into the casing, but of course, that only works until the cat catches the tuft again during the next play session. Better craftsmanship would be desirable, even though the fun is so affordable. That's why only 4 stars.

5 stars! I had trouble right from the unpacking... I couldn’t even fully assemble the fishing rod before my Siamese cat already had the feather between his claws! You can play with it for ages! Both cats absolutely love this toy!

I bought the cat wand out of curiosity for my two Maine Coons, and I have to say, it's simply brilliant! The two of them just won't leave me alone anymore because they're completely fixated on the cat wand and meow non-stop until I take it out again and play with them. And if I'm not quick enough unpacking it, unfortunately, my fingers end up suffering. *lol* I'm glad I bought this cat wand in a pack of three straight away, as it gets a lot of use with two cats, but it's quite sturdy for a wand with feathers.

This feather wand is Sammy's absolute favourite. I can wake him up for it, and he'll leave any food behind for it. As soon as I pick up the wand, he's there! I let the feathers slowly circle above me – he watches EVERY movement. They make a really realistic sound. Every now and then, Sammy is, of course, allowed to catch the prey and sink his teeth into it... My cat tears apart one of these feather wands in no time (playing with it for an hour daily). So, I've now stocked up on them :-)

My cats received this feather wand as a Christmas present and were immediately thrilled. They developed a whole new level of stamina while playing. Unfortunately, the ribbon twists up on itself, and you constantly have to untangle it. I'm curious to see how long it will take before they dismantle the wand. Since the attachment is fixed to a very delicate metal hook, you need to supervise your cat very closely while they're playing.

Our cats think the toy is absolutely brilliant, even the laziest one gets encouraged to play. However, the wand breaks immediately if a cat gets the feathers in its paws. Ours completely fell apart, and since then, the feathers can’t be properly reattached... straight to the bin. Such a shame!!

Our tomcat absolutely loved the toy fishing rod. He wouldn’t let go of the feather attachment at all. He even growled at the dog when it came near. Unfortunately, the feather part isn’t very durable. But the price-performance ratio is spot on here.

My tomcat went absolutely crazy when I played with him. Unfortunately, the fun was over after just one minute. I patched up the first spot and kept playing. But then the feathers came off the wand as well, so I let my cat keep his "prey" and got a bit annoyed about the poor workmanship. Conclusion: A quickie for £1.99!!!

My two house cats are absolutely crazy about it. Since they naturally end up tearing the feathers apart, I'll have to order more soon. But still, really great!!

A really great idea, this play wand. Unfortunately, it broke too quickly. First, the feathers came out of the plastic holder while playing, as they apparently weren’t glued in firmly enough, and then the string was next. One strong nibble with sharp teeth and it was done for... Such a shame, really, because my cat looks for the wand every day and wants to play with it. I guess I’ll have to order a few more new ones straight away.

The red one loves it; as soon as it comes into view, all the bells are ringing! It didn’t last a week, but I can still attach the feathers differently. Definitely add the 3-piece set to the basket.
