Ethical Pet Leather Strand Teaser Wand Cat Toy, Color Varies

We bought this for our kitten and she loved it. The first one was fluffy and it was her favorite toy. Unfortunately it broke extremely easily, the same day we got it. The good news is we could still use it as a toy to toss around. We bought a new one and when it arrived it had orange, hard gunk on it. (See photos) We anticipated a color difference but the new one was extremely flat and far less fuzzy. Chewy sent a replacement and it arrived in the exact same condition but a different color. I wouldn't recommend this product and we won't be purchasing from this brand again.

So this is the second one of this toy i ordered because she loved the original so much. Though the leather on this one was so thin she had chewed through it in a second. She is crazy for the little mouse end though so its still a win. I find it all over the house.

My 7-month old kitten absolutely loves this cat toy. He'll leap way up in the air for it, chase it around and carry it throughout the house. Not only does he carry it, he manages to run with it. I would have given it 5 stars except the leather string broke after about 2 months. I'm surprised it didn't break sooner given how he runs with it. I hope the manufacturer improves on the leather string.

The string was some sort of pink cord unlike I've ever seen. The cat bit thru it in a couple hours and tying it together makes it even shorter

My cats LOVED this! So much that they destroyed it in just a few days. Three of our four are very young - under a year old - so they play hard and love to bite and chew. The leather strand just didn't hold up to all that enthusiastic biting. They do still like to play with the little toy from the end - so it's still a win. This might be a better toy for older cats who have outgrown that kitten "chewiness". Our older cat would certainly still be playing with it in its intact state. I'll definitely keep it in mind for when our triplets are older.

I have two cats and despite the variety of the many other toys they have, they both prefer this one for wheaten reason. I had to go back and buy a few more. One for each of them in different areas of the house. One cat will literary go find it and drag it up or down the stairs to bring me to play with him. I don’t know if it’s the leather on it they love or what. All I know is, this is the preferred toy for each of them. Yes, the string broke after a week of rough play. My cats tend to be tough on toys. But I just got my sewing box out and sewed the pieces together. I am constantly fixing their toys for them, it’s just what you have to do for your kids. No fault of the design……if you have rough I have two cats and despite the variety of the many other toys they have, they both prefer this one for wheaten reason. I had to go back and buy a few more.

No fault of the design……if you have rough playing, you are bound to have to mend something here and there. The great thing are the leather strands at the end, they are holding up great. Any other toy that has feathers at the end inevitably get torn out and I have no way to sew them back in. With this toy, the leather strands seem to be sewn in there really well. None have been ripped out as of yet. And I think one of the reasons they really like this toy compared to the others is because it’s light. Some of their other toys are heavy balls or “shapes” at the end of the string, and what sometimes happens is when it’s whipping around it may hit them in an awkward way or just make way too much thumping noise as it hits the floor. This toy is very light and easy to whip around without fear of whacking them in the head or face (which I admit has happened a time or two). There are beads in the wand, which I thought was gonna be loud and bother them. But it was the opposite. As soon as they hear that subtle noise of the beads rattling inside when it gets moved slightly, they come running! Every cat is different, but as for my cats they absolutely LOVE this toy and I have put one on auto delivery along with their food so they will never be without just in case they destroy or lose the others. … more

The leather cord broke the next day after I got it, and just tied the two ends together. But the wand got bent by my son and it broke at the bend a few days after that. And since there were beads in the wand they got everywhere. Very disappointed in the toy but at least it wasn’t very expensive.

My cat is obsessed and doesn’t want to play with anything else now. On the flip side they do break super easy. I will continue to buy these because of how much my cat loves it. Just wish it was better made.

My 10 year old kitty loves it. She not one to play by herself so it makes for good and fun interaction with her.

The toy at the end is a good size and the leather straps and bell are additions that most cats love. Unfortunately, it's attached to a thin, flimsy soft plastic wand that broke immediately. I even bought a second one and I can't let my cat pull at it or it too will break. Disappointing. With a different wand, it would be a five-star .
