Highlighted Reviews

"This is a fun toy - reminiscent of the Weeble generation of toy. It’s always in a different spot in the living room. So I guess my kittens like it.."

β€” DBee

"While the concept of this toy is a good one, it is cheaply made, the feathers easily came out within 5 minutes of play by my cat. The wind-up timer is so short, about 30 seconds, you would have to wind it constantly."

Bottom Line

The JW Pet Cataction Rockin' Birdie Cat Toy is a mixed bag. It has a fun concept, but the short wind-up time and poor durability make it a less than ideal choice for most cat owners.
