  • A fun toy for cats
  • Mediocre durability
  • Vague product description

Quick Verdict

The SmartyKat Fly 'n Frolic Door Dangler Catnip & Silvervine Cat Toy is a hit with cats but has design and durability issues. It's good value for money, and the toy offers lots of enjoyable play, though users are unconvinced by the "door dangler" description and disappointed by the flimsy construction especially with the spring.

"The description is deceiving. It does have silvervine, and it has elastic like a hair scrunchy so you can snap it to go flying, and that’s it. No long strings, just the danglers as pictured. Otherwise, my cat likes playing with it a lot. It was an excellent toy to add to the kitty toy box."

— Lianna

"I was looking forward to using this toy for my cat but unfortunately the first time I tried to use it, it broke. It has a built in spring in it so you can shoot it out and make the toy “fly”, I hardly even stretched out the toy before the spring broke and now its limp and I can't use that functi..."

Bottom Line

For a general toy experience, this product once fine though the spring was dissapointing to customers.
