Within seconds of playing with my cat with this the feather boa came off. He did like it but was ripping the fluff off and eating it, so no good for a vigorous player!

After playing twice, it's unfortunately already broken: the boa has come off. You can still continue playing with just the fishing rod, but that's not really the point of it :D It was already expected beforehand that the boa would shed a lot of fluff.

Overall, the fishing rod is actually great... however, I have a very active tomcat, and he tears this rod apart so quickly it's hard to believe... the feather boa came off while playing after just a few minutes... we ended up tying the boa to the string, which works somewhat... but for this price, I would have expected better quality... such a shame :(

I bought the fishing rods in a pack of three for my 6-month-old cat. The first one lasted a day before the string came off the stick. The second one lasted 5 minutes before the feather boa came off the string. The third one didn’t last much longer either, so now we’re just playing with the strings with the feathers still attached.

I was always aware that the feather boa wouldn’t last very long, which is why I always ordered it in a pack of three. At that price, you can deal with a broken wand. But now, it’s not even worth that anymore. Luckily, I have a cat who eats everything but spits out anything “gross” that isn’t cat food. I’ve noticed that these green feathers fall apart much faster than the old ones. I also find that the boa with the feathers is much less elastic than it used to be. When I started playing with the “old” ones, my cat would go crazy straight away. Now she has to slobber and tug on the thing to make it “elastic” first – this often reduces her enjoyment of play. When a new wand arrives, she often doesn’t feel like playing at all at first... The worst part, though: The boa is now attached to the stick with a stiff cord instead of an elastic band. My cat likes to carry things around (far away from me) before thoroughly destroying her toy – but that’s now COMPLETELY impossible because the cord is simply too short and rigid. My cat used to love doing flips with the wand, but thanks to the even cheaper material, that’s no longer possible because the boa and cord don’t give at all. This thing only gets played with now if it’s been hidden for days and other toys have been around in the meantime... such a shame, because I really loved the boa at first =( Back when it wasn’t available in this toxic green colour.

If the cat manages to grab hold of the feather boa while playing (which inevitably happens...), the feather boa sheds little feathers that the cat can get in its mouth and potentially swallow. Certainly not great for their health, especially since the feathers are dyed! Better to stick to cat wands with real feathers – they’re much sturdier!

Well, my cats (Birmans) went absolutely crazy for the wand, and one of them even jumped into the air for it. But the wand didn’t last long, and the feather now looks pretty scruffy and has already started falling apart a bit. I wouldn’t buy it again; I’d go for a much sturdier wand instead.

Our 5-month-old Betty managed to tear the thing apart in two days. Still, 2 stars for the great fun :)

A few days ago, my cat was able to properly test the toy, playing wildly, pulling, grabbing, clawing... but then the "fluffy" part came out of the holder... after just one proper play session! Such a shame...

Since the band is made of rubber, it unfortunately snaps awkwardly with our cat, who is very athletic. And the feather boa is unfortunately quite unimpressive as well.

Our outdoor cat unfortunately didn’t play with this wand for very long. After a few minutes, it was already completely uninteresting to her, and she hasn’t given it a second glance since. On the positive side, the wand is of good quality and withstood all the (brief) attacks without any issues.

The feather wand certainly sparked great excitement in both of my cats, but that excitement didn’t last long. It only took two days for the feathers to no longer be attached to the wand but instead generously scattered around the flat. What a shame!

My four cats are absolutely over the moon, but I’m not! I always have to chase after them when they’ve caught the feather because it gets uncomfortable for me when they let go of the feather and it snaps back. My wish: the feather should be attached to the elastic with soft material, or better yet, no elastic band at all.

For the cat, it's a great toy, but unfortunately, the feathers come off completely after a short time. It's pretty flimsy.
