Cat Dancer Original Cat Toy

Quite possibly the best cat toy ever invented, and it's inventor is a genius. Every cat I've ever had has loved this toy above all else, and the many cat owners I've recommended this to have had the same results. I now have two kittens, and they came up with their own new variation when one managed to grab the end hard enough to pull it out of my hand. Before I could retrieve it, the other kitty already had my end, the little cardboard pieces ended up dividing between the two ends, and with a cat at each end, they kept themselves entertained until they were both tired out and had to take a nap. Now we have a loose one for them to play with, a couple stuck in drawers and doors, and a spare Quite possibly the best cat toy ever invented, and it's inventor is a genius.

I've been giving my cats this toy for many years now. Every one of them has loved it. Just bought another for our new kitty and a few more to give to friends. The last one I bought is still is fine shape and has been through 3 cats over at least 7 years and is still in use. Always what my cats want to play with above all other toys. It's a keeper, and at such a reasonable cost! Love it!

I have not seen any toy like this one. I hold it up & my cat literally dances as she tries to get the toy on the end. Someone who knows cats made this simple toy that my cat meows for me to get out. She will play until she pants from exhaustion, then I put it away for another time. This little toy is worth more than any expensive toy.

This toy looks like nothing more than a wire and some rolled up pieces of cardboard, but there's something about the way it moves that my cats love! Both of my cats are older; 12 and 17 years old, and they were playing with it like they were still kitties. Made me so happy to see them so excited to play again!

I was skeptical about this toy. How could something so simple be so awesome. Well its true!!! The reviews say it all!!! I like to gradually get my kitties use to toys and not just put them all out at once. This was the last of three toys I bought them. I set this up hanging from a closed door in my hallway and let the youngest go to town on it. She is a Sealpoint Tortie Siamese and after about 20 minutes this toy wore her down and she feel asleep under it!!!!! WOW is all I can say. Using teasers on cats gets them to exercise and wind them down. Cats need this type of play time a few times a day. For such a simple toy, you can sit back and watch the fun begin. I wish I took pics of I was skeptical about this toy. How could something so simple be so awesome. Well its true!!! The reviews say it all!!!

My cats absolutely LOVE this toy. I was skeptical before I bought it - I honestly thought it was a bit expensive for a wire and some wicker bits. However, this is THE BEST chaser toy I've found - well worth the money! The wire is thick and the toy overall is very sturdy. When you hold one end, it moves like a real bug would. Hard to describe, but it makes small movements you just can't replicate without the wire. There are no pointy ends - I've never been worried about hurting or poking my kitties! It doesn't take much effort to operate, so I can still play when I'm feeling lazy and don't want to get up off the couch! Even my older cat (2 years, but an old soul) who rarely plays with toys My cats absolutely LOVE this toy.

Even my older cat (2 years, but an old soul) who rarely plays with toys LOVES this. She's a little hefty (but losing weight since I added 1/2 can of canned food to breakfast!) and this is one of the only toys that gets her up and moving!! She bats at it like my kitten! Overall, love this toy. I'm even buying one for my mom's cat. Hands down one of the best cat toys out there. … more

This is a great toy. It doesn't look like much, but your cat will go nuts chasing it. I have to watch my cats breathing to make sure he isn't overdoing it. He's older and won't stop playing to rest if I don't make him. It's definitely gets their hunter instinct going.

This toy doesn't look like much to a human but both of my cats luv luv luv it! I bought 2 of them 1 for my 20year old male cat he likes it when I drag it or swish it back and fourth hes old and has arthritis in his hind legs and he gets moving with this toy. My other male cat is younger 6years old and he jumps in the air twists and turns climbing the walls with this toy he luvs it too! So glad I purchased 2 cause now they dont have to share lol. Cost is good and pretty durable for as much as they play with it. Hope this toy is never discontinued! Finally toys they luv so happy with these purchases. Chewy is great luv this company.

This is just a very simple little toy. Some wire with a few cardboard tubes on the end. However, my kitties love it. I bought a toy for each of my cats and they have a blast chasing the cardboard tubes on the end and jumping for them. My cats enjoyed them so much, I purchase more of the cat dancer toys to give to my friends who have kitties. Highly recommend

For 30+ years this toy has been in our interactive cat toy drawer! Well, not THIS particular one, but the Cat Dancer in general! Such a simple design, simple concept, and so inexpensive, yet provides literally HOURS of fun and excitement for our kitty family and for us! They jump and chase, chatter and pounce.......all the while we smile ear to ear and belly laugh from the antics! NEVER gets old!!!
