At first, my two cats were more scared of this toy – the feather tuft is quite large, and the crinkly paper in the middle was probably too loud. I cut off the paper, and afterwards, the two of them got used to the size and now play with it, although there are other toys they prefer. Otherwise, the craftsmanship is really good.

Our Coonie loves plastic and the noise it makes... So naturally, she also loves crinkly feather stuff. At first, I was sceptical but thought, okay, let's give it a try. The feather tuft at the end of the wand is pretty huge and definitely Coonie-approved. How well the teaser holds up in the end (it says tearproof on the label) remains to be seen. The stick is relatively short and not exactly top-notch quality. Otherwise, it's being played with quite enthusiastically.

My furry friends found the feather wand quite interesting. They didn’t play with it for long, but they did have short bursts of fun with it now and then. Given the price, I naturally thought it would last a while. I was wrong – by the second week, the wand broke, specifically at the twisted cord above the stick. Far too expensive for such a short-lived pleasure.

My cat loves it. Feathers and sound, what more could you want? As soon as I take it out, he’s all fired up. One star deducted because of the plastic curling ribbon and the misleading pictures. I was expecting natural feathers and now have bright red ones. Natural is something else, and in my opinion, the colouring isn’t necessary. He’d play with it just as happily without it, even if it is food colouring.

Compared to many other wands on the market, it offers a reasonable price-performance ratio. It’s really durable, providing long-lasting fun! I’m only deducting one star because Zooplus sends out a random colour rather than the one shown in the picture. Though, the cats probably don’t care anyway. 😉

My cats love it. However, it doesn’t look like the picture – it seems you get sent a random colour without being able to choose which one. I got one with bright red feathers and a blue stick instead of the lovely natural brown one from the preview image... not as nice. I considered sending it back, but since my tomcats like it, I decided to keep it anyway. Still, I’m deducting one star because of this.

Good quality for a short bit of fun.

For large cats, definitely 5 stars. Mine, despite being feather junkies, are a bit scared of the massive bundle. The Feather Dancer is better suited for them. One star deducted because you can’t store the thing properly, and it’s clearly oversized for medium-sized cats. If that were mentioned, it would be 5 stars, as I can definitely see it being great for large cats.

Our cats love the budget version of the feather wand, but unfortunately, it loses all its feathers after just three play sessions. So, I thought I’d try this sturdier version, but neither of them has any interest in it at all. The quality might be fine, but for us, the wand just sits in the drawer, so it doesn’t get a full star rating.

My cats kill their toys really quickly. Feathers plucked out in seconds. We became a fan of this particular toy as it was really strong and well made, and used to last the boys a few weeks before it became featherless. Not anymore. As soon as I give one of my cat boys a new Crinkle Dancer its feathers are out in seconds.Very disappointing now. We will keep buying this toy though as it's still stronger then other similar toys, which really just goes to show how feeble other cat dangler toys really are.

Since the fishing rod arrived, it's been in use every day. Both cats love playing with it. Even though my tomcat is very rough, it's held up relatively well so far. Of course, some feathers and a few of the white plastic strips are already gone, but he usually destroys normal rods within a few hours. I would buy this rod again anytime, maybe even stock up on it. Finally, I've found something that really tires my tomcat out. However, I’m deducting one point because I wish there were toys that were truly indestructible for at least a few weeks. If it were for children, you wouldn’t buy something that breaks after three uses, after all. But in comparison, this rod is absolutely the best thing currently available on the market!

A good play wand, the best one I've bought so far. About the game: Currently my two pets' favourite pastime – hunting on the bedspread! They stalk, run, and jump to chase it, then gleefully beat it up and chew on it. They even carry it around the flat with great pride. About the build: The crinkled plastic in the middle is securely attached and larger than it appears in the picture. The rod is sturdy and flexible at the front, allowing for slinging motions. However, the feathers don't last long either – an expensive treat for £9. After 1-2 months at most, this wand is also broken.

One of our favourite toys as well. Deducting 1 point/star because the item was already a bit battered after just a few hours of play and started losing its white feathers, especially considering it’s not exactly cheap.
