We bought two of these in anticipation of adopting 2 kittens. When the day finally came to use them, #1 broke while trying to shorten the telescoping part. It's made exactly like the old TV antennas that would break and you end up using tin foil to get reception. Anyway, #2 broke when the cat got a bit aggressive with it. Same place. Great idea. Terrible materials.

I was excited to get this & the first time they loved it! My youngest kitty Monk was panting he played so hard! And the others were actually enjoying it. Everyone was happy including me since I feel guilty I don't play with them enough. The second time the string started to fray & get stuck around the spinner. I had to stop multiple times to unhook it. It now doesn't retract at all. It's still usable but it's really disappointing from someone who is supposed to be all about cats & their enjoyment. I'm hoping once the string breaks we can figure out another better solution. All four of us are not pleased.

This is a cool concept of a toy. I love the telescoping wand and the retraceable string. Cool ideas. Unfortunately the toy is not durable. The top broke off our first day. I got a replacement and was very careful with it. The string is very thin, in fact I was concerned Noah would get tangled in it. Well he did and before I could stop him he easily chewed through the string. That is dangerous. When the top broke off the first time that was dangerous too, because the remaining stick was extremely sharp at the end. I ended up getting refund. I am really surprised that Jackson Galaxy would put his name on this toy. It is very flimsy, breaks easily, and even has some dangerous features. I'd really think he would do better. I do not recommend this toy. The Pet Fit For Life wand (also available from Chewy) is much better and very inexpensive. I'd recommend that.

I normally love the Jackson Galaxy teaser wand, but the one I received was broken. The retraction mechanism doesn’t work correctly, it’s supposed to lock at whatever length you set the cord, but this one is really finicky and won’t stay in place. It retracts randomly, especially when my cat hits the feather at the end. I’m disappointed because it’s usually a great toy, but this particular wand arrived defective.

Awesome toy for hunters

While all of my cats enjoy this toy, my avid hunter really loves the toy. She loves the way it flutters and she hunts it as if it was a real bird. The only downside

While all of my cats enjoy this toy, my avid hunter really loves the toy. She loves the way it flutters and she hunts it as if it was a real bird. The only downside is that my cats also like to chew on the string and I don't know how long the string will last.

This is my second Jackson Galaxy Wand. Got this one as a replacement of the first one after the string broke. The old wand was my cat's favorite toy. Chewy, nor Mr. Galaxy's official website, was offering the old nor this one at the time. So, I had to make due by tying the string around the end of the old wand. It worked but it would get tangled a lot more. When I saw Chewy had this in stock I made no hesitation to add it to my upcoming Autoship order. When we got it and I started taking it out of the package my cat new exactly what it was and got so excited! I was fun to really play with her again by getting her to run around the house. We played for probably close to 20 minutes and I got her to jump higher than I even before. I'd estimate her highest was about 4 and a half feet! Eventually I had to put it away because she was panting pretty heavily but kept wanted to chase. Comparing it to the old design, the button to retract the string is a lot smaller. It's nice because I don't retract it by mistake during play anymore. However, the spring inside seems weaker and doesn't have as much power behind it and feels flimsier than the previous design. I worry that it is and will break sooner than later.

I’m a huge Jackson Galaxy fan and bought this toy in hopes that I would be able to get some exercise out of my cat. However, the wand seemed kind of cheap and the button didn’t work at all at first and still doesn’t run very smoothly. Also though I’m learning my cat is just not that into feathers so I would have returned it anyway.

Finngen loves it!!

I love the toy but Finnegan believes all mice, birds even just feathers on a string should be set free so I have to watch him closely with it to keep him from grabbing

I love the toy but Finnegan believes all mice, birds even just feathers on a string should be set free so I have to watch him closely with it to keep him from grabbing the string and trying to bite it in two. But he does enjoy it.

All of my cats loved it but it broke within 5 minutes of playing with it

The string got all weird within 5 minutes of playing with it. Then within a week the handle came off and the metal rod bent. I tried to fix it and it broke.

This is a great concept and the kitten loved it and Oreo sometimes was interested, but the chord for the feather stsrted to sort of fray and then bunge up in the middle so it didnt fully load back into the rod.
