Highlighted Reviews

"My kitty absolutely loves his new toy! He can't get enough of the cat nip stuffed critter at the end and the string it's attached to is thick enough that he can't bite through it while playing. A+ in design."

— Rita

"The cord disconnected from the wooden wand after just a few uses. It's also a bit too short, so it's easy to accidentally tap your cat on the head with the stick while playing.It's a fun idea, but the design could definitely be improved for durability and safety."
