Frisco Wire Teaser Cat Toy

One of our cats is super smart and it is tough to find toys she doesn’t get bored with within 10 minutes, but this toy is already past the 3 day test and she begs for it still! We taught her that to ask for playtime, she has to use her exercise wheel, and she is on her wheel a lot, wanting time with this toy. Only 2 other toys have held her interest past the 3 day mark. Our other cat also loves it. They are completely different, so this is another testament to this simple toy. Only caution is be careful because it can be scary using it around their eyes, but so far, no issues. If you twist it fast back and forth, it makes a cool whirl sound - we only do this when the cats can’t reach it One of our cats is super smart and it is tough to find toys she doesn’t get bored with within 10 minutes, but this toy is already past the 3 day test and she begs for it still!

My cat loves this. I can’t even begin to comprehend why, but she does. My cat has endless energy and she never tires of this toy. Something about it makes it very easy to use from the human perspective too- the way it bounces and springs back means that I can totally wear my cat out with very minimal effort.

I would have never guessed something as cheap and simple as this toy would become our cats favorite toy but it has. It's erratic and fun for them to chewy on and really you just have to hold it in the air and if they bat at it they do all the work for you. Definitely buying a few more.

My boys love swatting at this paper/wire toy. I have 2 half-closets in my hallway and have placed this toy at the top of the lower door so the wire with the paper hangs out into the hallway a little bit. Quite often when they are in a playful mood chasing up and down the hall, one and then the other will stop and play with this, swatting at the paper sections making the wire bounce around and the paper sections dance around, enticing even more play swatting and jumping to catch hold of the paper.

I have one taped on the side of my kitchen table and all four cats love it. They all play with it together and alone. I can't believe a piece of wire with some cardboard was the solution to my bored kitty problems. DEFINITELY give it a try, your cat will thank you!

My 18 pound big black cat is scared of this toy. LOL. He backs up away from it but I will continue to keep trying. I bought this after my daughter told me how much her cat loves playing with it.

My daughter-in-law gave one from her cats. I have 2 kittens 6 months old. They go crazy with it. The one knows how to get it around her head and chases it like she is chasing her tail. Would highly recommend my kittens are on their 2nd one.

Agree with a 1-star reviewer that the gauge is so thin it can't be straightened at all. They are attracted to the toy but it's continually coiled so that the business end is dancing about 2-3 inches from my hand. My cats play hard and they're NOT. declawed. They could easily get my hand instead of the toy. It's not a toy I'd leave out for them--when they chew through the "cigarette filter" that leaves only the exposed end of a wire? Nope, this one goes in the trash.

I have a lazy cat that only likes to play with twist ties on his terms. After the vet recommended playing with him more, I set out to find the simplest toy because anything flashy doesn't interest him. Lo and behold, this thing will keep his attention then gets him moving for a few more minutes a day. The cardboard has already started to fray and unravel, But he may still play with the wire even when they fall off. And it was under $2 so whatever.

Thinking I just got a 'bad' wire cat toy, I ordered another and another. Still, all are substandard. The wire is so flimsy -- as many other reviewers have said. Chewy used to have either the original Cat Dancer or a knock-off that had a substantial wire. This doesn't. It's a waste of money.
