Cat Dancer Original Cat Toy

I ordered this after discovering my newly-adopted cat likes to dine on string, hoping she'd play with it even though she can't consume it. Victory! She and her differently-neurotic sister love paying with this--actually, they go nuts for it. And since it's wire, it can just be held in place on one end and will move on its own once the cat takes the first swing. This is our new go-to toy! Highly recommend.

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars as it has given great pleasure to all my kitties and to me. My 14 year old, dying of kidney failure, loved the movement of this toy. She would play with it lying down and enjoyed reaching out and chewing on the tubes. I was so happy to find it. Now, my two rescues who are 2-3 years old go bonkers about this toy. Not only do they jump all around for it when I wave it around, but they will also play with it individually, with one end in their mouth chasing the other end as it flips around. Sometimes, each will get on one end and they will pay with it together. I stick it in the arm of a highbacked chair and one will get on the back of it and bounce I wish I could give this more than 5 stars as it has given great pleasure to all my kitties and to me.

They do chew the heck out of the tubes though, so when the tubes are destroyed, I hook one of the other cat dancer bow tie chaserss on the end and the fun starts all over. Eventually, the wire gets a little too bent and I have to start a new one. Worth every single penny!!!! … more

This is the perfect cat toy. I wedge one end under the sofa cushion so the other end is free. Because it's springy wire, as soon as they touch it, it starts bouncing and drives them crazy! Surprisingly the little cardboard ends hold up really well to lots of chewing and clawing. I'm going to order a bunch more because they drag them all over the house and lose them!

I have 3 cats, very rough and tumble, and they all love this toy for different reasons. One cat will pick up an end of the toy in his mouth, and then he'll chase the other end, running in circles through the house. Another cat likes it when I move it around and he has to chase it and the weird flight patterns it makes. The oldest guy likes the wall mounted toy so he can lay down and get an ab workout as he chases it. The toys are durable, but we still end up going through a couple a month. If you want hours of entertainment for a small price, pick your kitties up a couple of these and get ready for some laughs!

His favorite toy was discontinued, so we've been looking for something new. He absolutely loves this toy. He'll chase it, pounce on it, stalk it, everything. He won't stop playing until I stop even if he's out of breath. Super simple, cheap, and entertains him non-stop. Great way for him to lose weight. Awesome toy.

My cat is really skittish and prefers to lay around over playing with toys. However, like the title suggests, she quickly became obsessed! After having the cat dancer for maybe two weeks, my cat has already chewed off a lot of the cardboard (good thing they’re inexpensive, thanks Chewy!) This has quickly become her favorite toy and my cat will even bat at it even when I’m not playing with her. Highly recommend!

My cats are not really interested in toys. One of them likes those little plastic balls in bells in them, but only sometimes. He prefers playing with his own cat litter. Ugh. Anyway, they both lose their minds when they see this thing bobbing around. Definitely the best cat toy I've purchased.

I love the cat dancer. Lily loves it, too! I gave one to my friend when I rehomed Lily. She couldn't figure out how to use it, so I unwound it. Immediately, Lily came running and jumping with her little bottom wriggling. This is one of Lily Flower's favorite toys. Thank you again!

This is hands-down the best toy I've ever purchased for my cat. In the week or two since I purchased it he has played with it (me!) for an average of 30 minutes, and even 45 minutes. Before this toy he wasn't much for jumping, flipping, etc. and that has changed with this toy. He's getting a lot more exercise. The only downside has nothing to do with the toy, but him: he now wakes me up at 5.45 am to make me play with him. So I'm buying the other Cat Dancer toys today to encourage more independent play. The fact that this is made in Wisconsin in a solar-powered factory is AWESOME and makes me even more proud to be a Chewy customer and a Wisconsinite.

My kitten loves to play with it. The only problem is the wire ends as I think it is sharp. There is a rubber stopper for safety but I could still very well feel the end. What if my cat chews it and gets hurt....
