torn into a thousand pieces
Hammer toy. My three cats immediately went for the feathers, and the feathers didn’t last two minutes. Now I’ve attached a toy mouse to the swivel. Works perfectly too.

Things are really kicking off!
The play and fun factor is simply amazing!
My little tomcat can only go into the garden under supervision due to illness. Now, in autumn, he's even more restricted. That often leads to 'frustration'. The wand toy is the perfect solution for us! We have an absolute blast until the feathers start flying, lol. I always try to save whatever can still be saved.
We'll try out the suggestion with the glue gun. We've already ordered another wand toy...
Nothing lasts forever...

Cat Wand Bird - Great Toy
Both my Brits absolutely love playing with this wand toy. Gizmo enjoys leaping around to catch the feathers and then pulling them through his teeth. Quincy, our chubby one, really gets going with this toy. Small price, big impact. I can only recommend buying it!

TOP with a slight compromise on durability
Maja loves this wand toy; even more than the much more expensive crunchy wand toy (also available here in the shop).
The wand toy does break quickly; that's true. But the tip with the hot glue gun works brilliantly. Just glue the feathers/holder back into the tube, and the thing lasts and lasts and lasts.

Favourite toy of our little ones
Our two kittens absolutely love playing with the feathers. They just can't get enough of it.

Lou sees little birds
For my tomcat, this is the best toy.
I have to hide it because otherwise, he shows me where it is and just wants to keep playing.

Fun for 3 seconds...
...Well, our two tomcats found this thing totally exciting for about 3 seconds. Then one of them got carried away in a frenzy of play, grabbed it, and poof – the attachment was off and the feathers ripped out. He played with the feathers for another 20 minutes, and that was it. Such a shame!

The hit with very limited durability...
My cats love this wand toy, which is why it regularly ends up in my shopping basket. Unfortunately, the fun is always short-lived due to the rather "poor" workmanship. The feathers on the last one lasted pretty much exactly 5 minutes, but the long string with the metal attachment is still a big hit. It would be great if the product were a bit more durable – I’d happily pay more for that :)

Super! But it's best to have a hot glue gun ready.
I have a cat who gets bored really quickly and then starts causing trouble, and he’s not satisfied with just a fluffy toy on a string. But this fishing rod is an absolute highlight. The string and pole are super long, so he has to jump around and run a lot. He finds the real feathers and the noises the construction makes super exciting, so after just 15 minutes, he’s completely worn out and doesn’t even think about picking on his brother again ;) BUT: as many others have already mentioned, the thing doesn’t last very long. The feathers came off straight away the first time we used it. However, I think the string and pole are VERY sturdy, and after I generously reattached the feathers with hot glue, everything has held up pretty well. Of course, you need to make sure it’s not chewed on, as it definitely won’t withstand that. Still, for the price, it’s a brilliant purchase!

Average craftsmanship - But an absolute blast!
Since we had already read that the build quality might not be the best, we decided to order three right away – just in case the first one broke immediately (so far, though, it’s held up well).
As soon as the wand was unpacked and assembled, playtime began in earnest: our little one relentlessly chases after the "bird," so much so that we sometimes have to take forced breaks because she starts panting.
The wand is REALLY long – I was completely surprised when I unpacked it, as it looks much smaller in the picture. We do have a large living room, but you really have to be careful when swinging it around so you don’t end up knocking everything over around you ;).
When you swing the wand, the feather tuft at the end spins and makes a whirring noise – which excites our kitten even more to chase after it.
Overall, we’re very satisfied. However, it would be more economical if you could simply buy replacement feather parts (these are attached to a string with a kind of safety pin) instead of having to buy a whole new wand each time.

Great fun to play, but only for a short time.
During assembly, I had to use a bit of force because the rods didn’t fit together properly, but of course, you don’t want to break anything...
The cat loved it straight away, she’s into anything with ribbons. With the long string and the long rod, your hands stay scratch-free, and the fun is mutual. Even the laziest kitty gets active, jumping and running after it.
The only downside: after half a day, the kitty had already plucked off all the feathers, and unfortunately, they can’t be reattached.
Such a shame—it was a great toy and brought lots of fun, even if only for a short time.

Top-notch fun, poor durability
Always happy to buy this, as my cats have a great playtime with it. Unfortunately, it's done after just one session, as all the feathers come off. There really needs to be a better solution for this—then it would be my top seller.

Doesn't last long... such a shame.
The play wand is great... nice and long... has good flexibility... but... it doesn't last long. The feathers come off waaay too quickly, and that's after just 1 1/2 days... such a shame... such a shame.

Super with a small 'but'
My cats were absolutely thrilled from the very first second; they’ve never been this excited about any other play wand before. BUT I find the relatively large metal attachment at the front somewhat concerning. In the heat of play, one of my cats gave it a good bite, and I’m really worried that she might hurt herself on it someday. Play wands should be put away anyway, but I’d much prefer a solution made of plastic for the attachment at the front.

Great fishing rod
Both my cats went absolutely crazy for how great the toy rod was for them, but unfortunately, it broke after a short time.

Totally thrilled
My two cats are absolutely thrilled with the wand toy. Every evening, they play with it endlessly. The feathers already look quite worn out. Luckily, you can attach new feathers to the tip.

The best toy we own!
Our two are absolutely thrilled and keep jumping for joy over and over again. It's the only toy where even our "chubby one" leaps into the air and spins pirouettes! 5 stars!!!

Only good because...
Some of the rods don’t fit together properly. The string is a bit too thin. It would be great if the manufacturer offered "spare parts". The part with the springs is attached with a safety pin – to be more environmentally friendly, this part could be offered separately; otherwise, you always have to throw away the whole thing. I have seven of them, and only two are still "alive". The springs also tend to get chewed up. It might be that our Maine Coon is a bit rough, but I’ll still buy the cat toy again because he really enjoys playing with it.

Superb class !!!!!
It's worth every penny – my little one just doesn't want to stop playing with it.
Even my chubby one got excited about it ;D

Mine has lasted for a year now.
Although my boys have occasionally taken it apart, you can easily put it back together again, so it's definitely worth more than its money ^^
