Ethical Pet Skinneeez Friend Teaser Wand Cat Toy with Catnip

I read at least one review that said the string didn't stay attached to the rod before buying but didn't think much of it. That is, until I got it! The string came unattached in the first three minutes of play... However it's easy to thread back through the hole and tie. I tied it at least four times! My one cat is super playful and usually will eventually bite through the string. No one can stop that but I recommend that you check the knot at the wooden stick and possibly tie it better before you play with your kitties. Otherwise I'm a fan of the wooden stick because my rambunctious kitty breaks the plastic sticks easily. The string is shorter than some other wands that I've gotten but they I read at least one review that said the string didn't stay attached to the rod before buying but didn't think much of it.

My cats love to chew up plastic sticks and this felt a little safer, or at least like it would have a longer lifespan. The downside: all the sawdust/catnip-filled toys bust open within days and always make a mess when they do. I was able to dump the rest of the filling out and luckily they still like the empty critter. Avoid if you don't want to vacuum up a bunch of sawdust and catnip! The stick is sturdy and we can tie other things to it in the future.

This semi flattened critter is a huge hit with all 3 of my cats, a kitten, a 10 yr old and a just about 17 yr old senior. I only have one complaint, and that is the cording that attaches the critter to the wand is way too short. I'm not a tall person (5 foot tall) and I have to stand crouched over in order to play with this toy with my cats which leaves me with my back hurting after awhile. Someone much taller will either have sit down or crouch down even more so in order to play with their cats with it. A much longer cord would be appreciated by all I am sure!!

So i love it because they love it, but the problem is that they love it too much ! A great way to tell kitty you love them. It brings out my cats playful side and it holds up well for 4 cats going after it. Fair price in my opinion.

Hi, my cat played and broke it on the first day. she wasn't playing too rough with it either and the string snapped. I tied it again and it snapped a second time.. Not worth the hassle..

My cats LOVE this toy. However, the string is not well attached to the rod, therefore within the first hour of playing with it with my cats the string detached from the wand. They still enjoy the furry animal, but no real point in paying extra to have it on a wand if it is going to break so easily.

My kitten loves this toy. It's great for playtime, but I also use it to lure him out of little hidey-holes that he manages to get into around the house.

My cat doesn't absolutely go crazy for this one but she still likes it. It will get some movement and exercise out of her. She would love it a lot more if they put a bell inside the toy. she seems to bite at the cord more than the toy on this one. Its good to have in her collection but it doesn't get her going as crazy as the fish one that has the feather hanging from the bottom. that one has a stretchy cord and it bounces when she releases it so that makes her more crazy. She did get tired of both though so I have to alternate them and hide them for awhile then take them out again. She did go absolutely crazy on this one for the first two play sessions so it gets a four star from us.

My hyperactive cat is OBSESSED with this toy. She drags it all over the place and has chewed the whole stick and plushie to death. We've had to tie it back together twice and she still hasn't lost interest. My cat has some really annoying behaviors and this toy works reliably to redirect her attention. I bought this to increase our playtime together but she is very possessive of it and it's great for entertaining herself.

It is a great toy for my cat with an elastic band and soft toy. My cat is very picky, but he loves it. Recommend it for everyone!
