Pet Fit For Life 2 Feather Retractable Wand Cat Toy, Blue & Green

I wasn't sure what kind of toys my new kitten was going to like, so this was one that I bought without much thought. Turns out it's her favorite one!! She goes absolutely nuts when she hears the bell and it was hard to get her to stop going after it, even when she was panting! The reason I'm knocking off a star is because the build quality leaves a few things to be desired. I would consider us having been heavy users of this toy- I really whipped it around, around twice daily, but after less than a month the metal clasp that holds the toys on completely snapped! I've been able to improvise by tying the toy on directly, but that leaves off the all-important bell and makes changing out the toy I wasn't sure what kind of toys my new kitten was going to like, so this was one that I bought without much thought.

I've been able to improvise by tying the toy on directly, but that leaves off the all-important bell and makes changing out the toy a far trickier prospect. I love the flexibility of the pole- it responds incredibly well to deft flicks and the like, but it does tend to get jammed and, additionally, the glue that holds the metal loop for the string has also become able to slip off. You get what you pay for, I guess, but at just 10 bucks I'm considering trying my luck with a second one! … more

I was hesitant to pay this much when similar toys are available for less than half the price. This is totally worth the price. It's well - made and doesn't fall apart after a week's play. I also like that it has a connector to change out the feathers and comes with a replacement.

My cats have always loved wand type toys and we've always used the fishing pole type with fishing line and a metal lobster claw clasp to hold the toy. They're great but like any toy, they're not indestructible. When I saw these that had more of a "rope" instead of line I wanted to try them for durability as well as flexibility when playing. 1st diff. is the extendable pole works the same but the rope is longer than fishing line would be. And the main con I have noticed is that when I'm whipping the pole back and forth to make the feather or worm zip across the bed, floor etc, the rope easily gets little knots in it as well as tangle around whatever toy is attached.

Our cat loves this toy more than anything we've ever gotten him. In fact, he loves it so much that he drags the feathers to be with him each night. Even if the pole is stuck behind something... Three times, I've woken up to find him sprawled across the foot of the bed with feathers and half of the pole beside him. I was able to fix it once, but the time has come for our third purchase, and i think i need to get the more durable version for this tough little beast.

I recently bought this toy and within 2 days the telescoping wand broke, no incident, it just broke when my cat caught the feathers and I retained tension! Not durable, at all, very disappointing at $10. I gave 3 stars because my cat is obsessed with this toy and still drags it around the house. She has only one eye and I think the bell on it allows her to use her hearing senses to locate it easier that only using her sight.

My boys are having their hunting desires satisfied with this chaser. I am surprised at how very well it is holding up with two, two year old, male cats rough housing the fluffy end piece. .

This is the only wand toy that’s been able to hold up for my two very active cats! I’ve gone through many different varieties (Cat Dancer, Jackson Galaxy, etc.) of wand toys that have only lasted a month or two of daily play sessions with my kitties. Going on 8 months with this one and it’s still working great! The string is easily untangled, the telescoping handle is sturdy, and the variety of attachment options keep my cats interested.

My cat and I just love this toy. You can make it fly, bounce and creep on the ground. My cat has never been so active chasing and catching this toy. I love the extending wand so when I am tired I can still play and be sitting!

The idea is this wand toy is great & the string & feathers, I’d give those high marks but construction of the wand is very poor. I took it out of the packaging & swung it 3 times & the wand broke. It broke before our cats ever had the chance to play with it. Fortunately I have a very handy husband who thinks he may be able to fix it, if not he’ll attach the string & feathers to an old fishing pole.

I can not say enough about Pet Fit For Life's retractable wand. My cat loves this toy. I also got the 7 pack of toys so he could have a bunch of different things to play with. He is obsessed! When he wants to play, he sits in front of me and stares and just lets out a scream until I pick up that wand. Spoiled rotten! He prefers one of the toys in the extender pack best, it is a furry mouse, with the bell. He must have the bell! Anyway, all of the toys are easy to change, the wand is easy to extend, the toy does everything that it claims in the ads. I would definitely buy this again as my cat can now not live without it!
