They will tear pretty easily. I used them without incident for a kid's birthday party but they are soft, brittle sponges. My 2 year old can rip them in half.

Durable enough? Probably. I would put them in some kind of sack to keep them a bit safe. what you see in the pic is how they fold up.

They never lasted that long. I had 1 cat who played fetch with them - I shot them with my fingers and they were fine. I just found 1 new one in a drawer and it bounces adequately.

Yes. My furry boys play with theirs all the time and it did fray and break. Go to a craft store and buy a roll of beading wire; I would suggest 49 strand which is stronger than 19 or 9. Also get some epoxy glue; I suggest E6000 it's a jewelry glue which is very strong and has a nice thick consistency. I found that by cutting the wire longer (6 feet) than the original one is so much more enjoyable for the cats. Now that they are no longer kittens they are aware of the stick so with the longer wire you can be far enough way with the stick to now distract them. With pliers gently pull the red cap off the stick and then cut the old wire off. Slip the red cap onto the new wire with open end pointing to the tip of the stick. Place some epoxy around the upper/top 1/2 inch of the stick and then wrap your wire around the epoxy at least 4 times; nice and tight. Then positioning the wire parallel away from the stick and pull the red cap down over the tip of the stick where you wound the wire. Push it down nice and snug and then use a clamp (clothes pin, lock pliers) or a heavy object to press down GENTLY the red cap to ensure a good seal. I would wait at least 12-24 hours before using the toy again. I do hope this helped.

If you're asking if it is sturdy enough to hold such items, then yes, the bags are tough. I use them in a rectangular trash bin to hold lots of scooped cat litter, and when I remove the full bag, it's never ripped.

We do carry several cat toys that may be more durable. If your cat is very active, I would suggest a lazer pointer.

I do think it will hold up. My cat is a little on the "fluffy" side and kind of rough on his cat tree and it's survived his abuse. He uses the scratching posts frequently and hasn't destroyed them yet.

They should work. I have not putine outside in the rain so I don't know for sure. I do know they ate an overall good trash can . We bought 5 to try to keep our cats out of the garbage. 3 cats get it but 2 of them have figured out how to nose their way in. Lol

my cat does chew on the strings. They are very strong nylon and they have held up for me.

They should hold up to chewing just fine however they are easily displaced from the holder (which I personally like, makes it easier to remove for adding food, washing, etc) so if you think they'd play around with them.. maybe go for something that locks in.

I have not tried to use liners bt I really doubt that they would work..My cat has claws and I think he would shred a liner to pieces and did not use them when I had the rectangular boxes.

It's not carpet so it's not as sturdy but I only use this condo for my kittens under 3 mo so their little claws don't really pull up the fabric. They actually prefer to scratch the rope and not the fabric. If my older cats used this post and scratched the fabric then I doubt it would hold up long. It works great as a kitten post. We've had ours over 6 mo with constant kitten use (we're fosters) and despite the screws coming loose a few times, and the dangly toys only lasting a day...we're happy with it considering the price :)

No, they are not. I will be using them hanging on the wall to prevent my spraying cats from completely ruining my walls and baseboards, so it won't matter. If you are placing a person on them, I could see them tearing very easily.

No, they do not break easily. I tested this by mangling one of the springs. For your own peace of mind, do try this yourself before giving to your cat.

I think they would hold up pretty well. They're plastic, but sturdy and flexible at certain places. Just make sure no one twists the earpiece too far or accidentally sits on them.

Will they hold up? I think they would for a bit but not sure how long. Another item to take into consideration is that they are not regular strings but instead made of plastic. My cats are also chewers but after one or two chomps they gave up on these because I assume it was a texture they did not like.

They are more for dogs with thick nails. I use them for my 65lb dog. But I dont see why you cant use them on your cat, this will probably last you forever.
