Holy Grail of Cat Toys
342716
My cat has not ever loved anything as much as she loves this toy - aside from maybe cardboard boxes. Honestly, it used to be that the only toy she would play with was her tail. She would spend a solid half hour rolling around on the couch trying to catch it, and sometimes she'd get so wrapped up that she'd knock herself on the floor. Yeah, letting her play with her tail was cheap, but with more concussions than a football player I figured not a very long-term solution to her not caring at all about catnip toys, squeak toys, etc. She unwrapped this bad boy for Christmas from the new dog in the house, Dixie (pretty sure my sister actually bought it, but let's keep the magic alive), and it's the holy grail.

She not only drops whatever she's doing - even eating, I checked - to play with this thing. She will run around in circles for as long as it's flying through the air. She even picks it up by it's little mouse end and drags it around the house with her. Last night I found her sitting in her cardboard box with it (I swear she has a bed, she just loves sitting in boxes) like Smeagol. I took it away from her and immediately terror struck my heart because I thought she was lunging at me to claw up my back, bite off my finger, and try to push me into the fiery depths of Mordor for taking it from her -- but it turns out she was just ready to play again.

A million gold stars. I had "Dixie" go buy her another one because occasionally my cat threatens to/starts to hunger strike when she's mad, and I honestly think if anything happened to this it would finally be the hunger strike that worked. She would pack her bags and disown me. Attack me in my sleep. Anyway, buy 50 of them.

Not only did my cat love these toys, but the packaging and presentation were very nice. Toy quality is superior to other cat toys as they were larger and constructed well.  Would highly recommend for your cat or for a gift.

My cat won't settle for any other toy. This and refills for it are staple Christmas's gifts for our cats.

All the reviews will tell you how much your cat loves this thing. And they're right. More than ANY other toy, the cats love this really weird piece of cork on the end of a wire hanger thing. I'm waiting for someone to create a cardboard box with the word "cat toy" on it, and I'm sure thousands of us will buy that as well. ;) And yes, it's partly because I'm annoyed I didn't come up with this idea first.

No, really. This toy is fantastic.  I have four finicky felines, each with different ideas of play: one likes to stalk other the other cats, one likes feathers only, one only plays with interactive toys, and one just likes to watch because he's a little too chunky to get in on the action.  Before this toy, their collective two favorites were a laser pointer (3 of the 4) and the Da Bird feather on a stick (3 of the 4).  This toy, however, is hands down the collective favorite with each cat performing a live acrobatic show to get the Kragonfly (and an additional attachment Katarantula).  They pounce, they roll, they snatch the Kragonfly and rod from my hands and carry it to their special spot in a fit of glee.  They all are so into it, I should start filming their antics for Youtube.

I keep this toy in a closet when not in use, just because I don't want them to spend their hours systematically deconstructing the Kragonfly. It's held up wonderfully during months of supervised play, so I could probably leave it out without any issues or calls to the vet regarding ingested items. Another motivation though for keeping it hidden, is because they love this toy so much, I'll find an organized kitty sit-in outside of the closet door with meows pleading for play time.  As soon as the door is cracked a little bit, one of them is already trying to wiggle in to grab the toy.

I originally thought I could maybe just get the attachments and use my feather toy rod, but alas it did not work. Each attachment is connected to the string, which clips at the top to the clear rod. The clips aren't the easiest to to hold open while changing critter attachments, but it's nothing horrible and doesn't phase the love I have for this toy.  I also originally thought these were priced a little on the higher side, but it's totally worth the money to get the rod and additional attachments.  The interaction and activity I get with one $10-$15 attachment is not rivaled by $10-$15 of all the other toys I could buy (and I have a lot of cat toys).

This is the second time I have used a cat dancer for my cats, and I have to say this is by far their favorite toy (after my hair ties, which I try not to use for obvious reasons).

I was skeptical at how some cardboard on a wire would entertain my cats for a reasonable amount of time, but my cats seriously go nuts for this toy. My smaller cat can play with it for hours, and it actually gets my fatter kitty moving (which is the equivalent of the former).

I just love this toy, and highly recommend it for kitty play time! The only caution is that for me, once my cats ripped off all of the cardboard, the blunt edge came apart and then had a pointy edge. I then threw it away to avoid my cats getting injured, and promptly purchased another one :)

The good news is that the five star rating for this toy is no joke. Our cat has enjoyed this so much that I'm considering getting a couple more for different places in the house.

Also, it's very well made and despite sharp nails has held up extremely well. I highly HIGHLY recommend this toy.

On a bang-for-the-buck basis, this  is hand's down the greatest cat toy ever made. It is incredibly cheap, but I have yet to find a cat that didn't go insane for this. I've had seven cats who have all been crazy for it and no matter how much they played with it, they never lost interest. I've bought lots and lots of toys for all of my cats and there have only been a couple that they consistently found entertaining. I have always found that cheap is better for cat toys. Ping Pong balls. Super cheap hard rubber balls. Laser lights. And that is is. I've found no other toys to be consistently reliable. Not peacock feathers. Definitely not little pieces of cloth on the ends of plastic wands.

And one major great thing about this toy is that it is so amazingly cheap that it is a zero risk toy. I have often wanted to get my cats new toys, but my experience has been that most cats don't like most toys. This is a toy that not only do most cats love but it is no real loss if yours is among the few that don't.

Can't recommend this enough. My cat is pretty fickle, in the sense that she'll love a toy at first but will quickly get bored of it after a couple months. So far, this toy has surpassed all of her past toys in keeping her entertained even after a month with no signs of waning. It's a simple cat wand, and the stick itself is really strong, capable of supporting the full weight of my cat as she is pulling on the cloth end. Every night she'll whine until I bring it out for her to play with. If you want a toy that is sturdy, inexpensive, and will keep your cat active and entertained day after day, get this toy.

This toy is so ridiculously simple, yet so extremely effective.  My cats LOVE this toy, and it is surprisingly durable considering all the abuse it endures.  There are so many fancy, expensive cat toys with all kinds of bells and whistles, but I guarantee that any cat would prefer this toy any day.  I have recommended this toy to other cat lovers, and they all agree.  Best bang for your (literal) buck!  If you are looking for a cat toy that your cats will never get sick of look no further!

This is the BEST cat toy for a preschooler to play with cats!  The wand is the perfect length and the woven wire moves just right to tease the cat into playing!  As an adult it's also a great toy - but to have found a toy that my granddaughter can use to interact with her cat is priceless!  The mouse is not durable, and we may end up with something else on the end of the wire, but a child can understand to not allow the cat to chew on the mouse and keep the playtime going...

My cats LOVE this toy so much!  They can't get enough of it.  It comes with a vial of catnip that you fill the toy with, and it has a velcro closure.  The cats both chase this thing all over the house, and even take naps with it.  I'm going to have to order a few more of these.

What a fun package of toys.  Cats are notorious for tiring of things quickly.  Now, I just give them a few toys from this batch and they love them for a few days.  I seem to have a never ending array of new things for them to play with.  I especially love the feather on a wire and my kitties love it also.  It's not pictured in the photo but it's one of my favorites.  All of these toys are much more expensive in the pet store so I think it's also a great value.

Ive lived with cats my whole life. My family got our first kittens when I was about 3 years old. They were both boys and super energetic. When I turned 12 we got another cat because one of them passed away from cancer. This one was a girl. She was calm and loved to snuggle. One thing they both had alike was the toys they enjoyed going after. Both of them loved interactive toys with feathers and a bell. Im now almost 19 and just got my first cat in my own apartment. He also loves toys with feathers and a bell. I bought this toy for him and he loves it.

Durability:
So far this toy has been really durable. My kitten goes crazy for it and I always get scared hes going to rip the feathers out, but he doesnt. Even if he did rip the feathers out, it came with two replacement feathers. The wand has never broken and neither has the string.

Sound:
I love how it has a bell. Of all the cats Ive had, most of them loved hearing some kind of noise while playing. The bell grabs their attention and causes them to focus on the toy. The bell intrigues them and keeps them playing.

Fun:
My kitten has so much fun with this toy! He never gets tired of playing with this (at least until hes physically tired). He jumps so high to catch it and its fun for me to watch. Even when Im not holding the wand he still enjoys attacking the feather and listening to the bell.

Catnip:
This toy doesnt have catnip in it, but it really doesnt need it to attract my kitten. He simply sees it and wants to attack it. Personally, I love that it doesnt have catnip. Catnip makes my kitten crazy and he runs around the apartment when he gets ahold of some. When I play with this toy he gets excited and tires himself out. Its great for right before bed.

MIMIBOX:
This brand is super trusted, I get a lot of my cat supplies from them. My kitten loves most of their toys, but especially this one. Their accessories, grooming products, and collars are amazing. If I have the time to order them, I do and because I love MIMIBOX so much I try to plan ahead as much as possible just so I can order from them.

My cat, a six year old tabby named Suki, cannot get enough of this toy. She wants to play with this every single day, often carrying it over to me and bumping her head against me until I pick it up. She's had other toys in the past, but none she's been so over the moon for as this cute frisky flyer!

The only cons I can see are:
- the string got a knot in it quickly, but in its defense, it has seen a LOT of play in the week I've had it, and the smooth texture of the string is easy to untangle.
- the stick comes in two parts that easily pop together, but it does occasionally come apart during play if you're giving it a good shake, but that's hardly an issue.

But all in all, this is great and definitely cat-approved. I've never left an Amazon review before, in fact I didn't even buy this on Amazon, but this simple toy of feathers and plastic has made for one pleased kitty and her equally pleased mama.
