Highlighted Reviews

— Sue

"This is great! Very sturdy and kitties are instantly loving it"

— Leonie

"The string loop that holds the toy on the wand broke immediately. I tried supergluing them back together but no luck. I now connected the toy through another loop. This lasted a while. This is the second toy of this brand that immediately breaks upon use"

Bottom Line

Great toy, just needs better durability. For commitment seekers, you'd wish your cat could do these alone.
