"My Cats love it, it’s pretty flimsy but better than those feathers on skinny plastic sticks. The telescoping pole is metallic, at least."

β€” Christine

"I bought this to help cheer up our cats after losing their brother...it was a terrible purchase. This IS NOT expandable up to four feet as described on the product page...this wand is barley 18 INCHES. The string has ZERO elasticity, and the vibrating bit hit my cats and HURT them!"

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a fun and interactive toy for your cat, this product could be a good choice, but be prepared for potential durability and size issues. It's best suited for playful moments but may not hold up over extended periods.
