A ton of fun!
Absolutely brilliant play wand at a very good price-performance ratio and highly recommended. While other play wands quickly bore our sometimes lazy-to-play Shiva, she turns into a swift huntress when the sound of fluttering birds echoes through the living room. The noise and movement are quite authentic, as she already indulges her passion every morning by lying in wait for potentially careless tits... :-)

Awesome!
We really have loads of toys for our three cats, which they also love playing with extensively. But the Bird Cat Wand is an absolute hit.
The feathers are attached to a swivel. When you pull the nice, thin, and flexible wand through the room, the feathers spin in the "airflow" and create a slight fluttering sound. The string is nice and thin, so it doesn’t catch the cat’s attention, allowing them to fully focus on the "bird."
All three go absolutely wild when I take this thing out. The first time, I actually had to stop after a few minutes because one of our cats was standing in the living room panting heavily and just couldn’t go on anymore – her hunting instinct had completely taken over.
The wand seems very sturdy. The feathers are also well attached. If the feathers do eventually give up the ghost (which will surely happen soon with the wild chases it triggers!o), you can easily attach new ones with a bit of skill.
I’m absolutely thrilled with this toy. It’s so much fun to watch the cats during an exuberant hunt.

Absolutely brilliant!!!
For the price, one of the best toys I've ever had. My two furry friends go absolutely crazy when Birdy flutters through the air and makes sounds at the same time. When it briefly lands somewhere, both of them sneak up on it, then Birdy takes off again and my cats leap into the air after it... Brilliant invention!!!! A MUST for every cat owner!

What flies soon, also fades away soon.
The "Spielangel Bird" is simply overrated because it doesn’t last long—once the cat catches it, the feathers are basically done for. If you consider that a cat catches prey to tear it apart and eat it, then this toy is really a one-hit wonder! Conclusion: A bird that can’t fly anymore and just a plain metal rod, with no handle or rubber grip or anything like that... However, I did buy it on offer for €1.69, which is better than the usual overpriced cost. Satisfactory!

Suuuuuper!!!
We bought this toy for our little newcomer. Even our older Coons, who rarely play, are absolutely thrilled and can't be stopped! A fantastic toy, highly recommended!

Exhaust yourself to the limit
Our two go absolutely crazy for this fishing rod, it's honestly amazing... the feathers hold up pretty well, and if one falls out, you just stick it back in. The string should really be bite-proof though, as it gets chewed through pretty quickly :O(

Great product but poor quality
Absolutely goes down a treat, but the feathers come off after just a few hours.

Dangerous ;-)
This is absolutely amazing, the way our tomcat reacts to it. He didn’t pay attention to anything else anymore, bumping into everything that was standing around. He didn’t want to let it out of his mouth at all. The other one immediately climbed up me to get to it.
I can only recommend it.
With this, you can even get a little lazy tomcat like ours to really "work up a sweat".

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simply brilliant. The kitties are darting around like crazy!!! I went ahead and bought some spares straight away. The cats are still young, and just in case one gets broken in the heat of the moment :-)
I can really recommend it, and have fun with your kitties!

Not again
Hello!
The cat wand has just arrived. It lasted two minutes with our 6-month-old tomcat. He played with it once, and then the feathers tore off. The idea is great, but the feathers don’t last very long!
I wouldn’t buy the wand again.

Favourite toy
The toy is absolutely brilliant! Thanks to the long rod, the feathers whizz effortlessly around the entire room, and the cat is always right behind them. The cat is almost unstoppable, and the rod provides pure action.

Pride comes before a fall.
Dear Zooplus Team,
The feather wand is brilliant, my cat goes absolutely crazy for it and can't keep his claws and teeth off it. But as much fun as it is to play with, it breaks quickly. It only took about an hour after unpacking for my cat to tear through the string, and now the broken feather pieces are lying all over the place. The idea is fantastic, especially because it spins around. I would buy it again ;)
Best regards

Even without springs, absolutely brilliant!
Sure, here's the translation:
Of course, the feathers fall out quite often, but you just have to stick them back in, and the fun continues. We've had our first fishing rod for over a year now, and it's still a big favourite. When the feathers were completely chewed up, I wanted to throw it away, but by chance, I discovered that my two little rascals actually like it even more this way. Now it's no longer a bird but a fly that they chase. BRILLIANT for kitty and human!

Hammer
I never thought Sunny would love it so much; she's jumping higher than she has in ages and just can't seem to get enough of it!!

Favourite toy! But...
Unfortunately, this cat wand loses its feathers very quickly during play, but even without feathers, it’s still very popular with my cat Lara!
Here’s a cute proof video!

Wow
Super! I've never seen my cats jump so high before, almost like they're flying. Chattering and frolicking were the order of the day as soon as I unpacked it. Unfortunately, the first feather came off straight away. I'll be stocking up on a few spares right away. An absolute hit for every cat!

Two tomcats on the hunt
This cat wand is absolutely amazing. My two tomcats, Purzel and Darwin, go completely wild and carefree when playing with it. I've never seen anything like this with any other cat toy before. I've already ordered two more wands because the feathers from the first one were scattered all over the flat due to their wild play. And even then, the individual feathers still had a magical allure.
It’s truly highly recommended.

Our best fishing rod
My tomcat and we absolutely love this wand toy. You don’t need to worry about your hands when the cat goes completely crazy chasing it, as the wand is extremely long. Thanks to the flexibility of the rod, the cat can’t really hurt herself when she catches her prey. The pulling force from us humans is also dampened as a result. And even though our wand toy is technically already broken, it still works perfectly—just tie a new string, attach a new pendant, and the wild hunt continues.
Additionally, the radius is very large, which gives cats the chance to do proper high-speed sprints. For the price, which I find unbeatable at €1.50, I’ve now ordered a new one, as my tomcat really likes the pendant, and feathers don’t last forever—which, of course, isn’t the manufacturer’s fault. Titan feathers would last longer, but I imagine birds prefer eating seeds rather than metal chunks to grow their feathers ;P After all, this wand toy is partly a natural product.
In any case, I can definitely recommend it.

Actually great, but poor quality!
I only had to swing the fishing rod once, and my otherwise very picky and rather lazy cat was instantly intrigued. I was glad to have finally found a toy that wouldn’t become boring for either him or me.
However, after just three days, the feather holder broke. The price here clearly reflects the "quality".

Super great toy
My cat absolutely adores this wand toy. At first, he played so wildly with it that he immediately tore out all the feathers :-)
I just glued them back on with superglue, and since then, it’s been holding up brilliantly. My cat especially loves playing with it outside now in autumn, when the feathers rustle in the leaves :-)
All I can say is: fantastic product! :-)
