Cat Dancer Compleat Cat Toy

When I first unpackaged this, I was afraid it would get no attention at all. Boy, was I surprised. At first, they played all the time. Even now, 6 mos later, not a day goes by without hearing that now familiar "twang". Thanks.

I needed something to burn off excessive energy from my cats. I installed this toy per the manufacturer's instructions. They caution that the wire included is under a great deal of tension, so they ask you use care. What they don't say is that after it's been on the wall for a while, if applied as directed,the tension will relax and it will end up on the floor. Second issue: After I purchased another set of command strips to hang it higher on the wall my cats then pulled the mounting piece open and it won't stay closed. It's been a complete disaster for me. It's not an expensive toy, but I would like it to last more than 10 minutes.

I attached it to the wall and the first day they seemed kind of interested, but they ignore it. I had high hopes for this because they like to chase flying things but not this. Oh well not everything is a hit.

This toy is amazing in both it's simplicity and how it gets my cat jumping and hopping around. I got this toy so he could have something to chase and play with when I'm not around and he just loves it. Just be careful when opening the packaging to not poke yourself in the eye and you're gold. Oh, and make sure you mount it high enough from the ground so your cat can't just jump, grab it, hold it down, and then get bored because he "caught" it so easily. ;)

Need this toy back in stock absolutely love it and the cats love it best toy ever.

I always got my arm tired holding the original cat dancer. I stuck this up with the Velcro command strips and they love it. I sometimes help bounce it to get them interested. I put it 24” off the floor for some good jumps. It’s also the best distraction to place near the holiday tree.

At first my cat was attacking it. As days have gone on it pretty much ignores it unless I remove the wire from the container and play with the cat directly. While sticking something on a wall and forgetting about it would be a great way for a cat to “self play”. Mine doesn’t seem to be into it after time has gone on. We have one of those door hanging mice and the same has happened with that toy as well. So I don’t think it’s a bad toy. Just not for my particular cat. The spot where I placed could possibly affect it. But that’s easy to remove and re-place with some new sticky things.

I'm sure the toy itself is great; however, when I removed it it left a 4" X 3" hole in the wallboard of my wall. It would have been helpful if there were instructions on how to remove. Now, I have to spend big bucks to replace the wallboard. I don't know if I just don't know how to use this tape but even after pulling it off the wall I can't "disconnect" the tape from the toy.

Love that you can stick it to the wall and she can play with it whenever she wants!

My cats don't play with anything - almost ever. However, they'll play with this! One thing I would say is place it higher up on the wall because the wire barely holds the wooded head up, and that way it will be at eye level for your cat. Large cats may require you duct tape it to the wall, like my chunky monkey did, but even then - it's dirty cheap, who cares?
