Instructions
Cats are creatures of habit with short attention spans—that's why brief, scheduled play sessions with your feline are best. Just two or more 10 to 15-minute sessions of interactive play a day is paw-fect and can also help preserve the battery life in your cat's favorite toy. The expected battery life in this toy is 15 hours, so remember to turn it off when it's not being used!
| Battery Type | Number of Batteries | Replaceable (Y/N) |
|---|---|---|

Day 1, I was excited and turned it on ~medium. Fiona sat and stared at it for five minutes. I slowed it down. Fiona moved closer and let the feather hit her in the face a few times, then walked away. Day 3. I wrapped a 12" long twist tie around the feather. Turn it on ~medium. She went after it, batting and trying to catch it. She got the twist tie unwrapped from the feather and continued to play with the twist tie. I think I'll give the toy to a couple of my friends who have 7 indoor rescues. I am feeding 6 stray cats. Next time I invest $, I'll look for an affordable cat shelter since I live in WV. Thank you.
Stared at it.
Both cats hunkered down and stared at this toy as if it were possessed. Everytime it moved they ran. Donated it to the local rescue with a bunch of spare batteries
Both cats hunkered down and stared at this toy as if it were possessed. Everytime it moved they ran. Donated it to the local rescue with a bunch of spare batteries. Hopefully some of the cats & kittens there will like it.
This thing will survive the apocalypse
Bought this bad boy in December of ‘20 for my best friends cat. He has absolutely murdered it every winter season for the last 5 years. I even bought him a spare
Bought this bad boy in December of ‘20 for my best friends cat. He has absolutely murdered it every winter season for the last 5 years. I even bought him a spare in case he destroyed this one because he loved it so much his mom said there’s no way they’d survive without, but the OG keeps showing up and showing out. Don’t get me wrong it looks every bit of surviving in the wild with a tiger, but every time he’s ready to play it’s go time, no hesitation. Probably the best money I’ll ever spend in my life.
Well made
Fern is in love with feathers but usually the feather stick toys I usually get don't last very long but just from feeling the material and how it doesn’t immediately
Fern is in love with feathers but usually the feather stick toys I usually get don't last very long but just from feeling the material and how it doesn’t immediately fall apart like her usual feather toys, makes me very happy and she is also very happy with the item so when I don't have time to play with her, she has something to entertain her for a bit.
Cheaply Made and Not Kitten-Friendly.
I’m really disappointed with this cat toy. The quality is poor and it feels very cheaply made. It’s also extremely noisy, which is a big problem. The sound actually
I’m really disappointed with this cat toy. The quality is poor and it feels very cheaply made. It’s also extremely noisy, which is a big problem. The sound actually scares my kitten instead of entertaining her. Because of the noise and low quality, this toy ended up being completely unusable for us. That Isn’t Returnable. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Broke immediately
My two kittens used it for about two minutes and then one of them hit the plastic part and it stopped working. Now it only works if you hold the bottom very firmly
My two kittens used it for about two minutes and then one of them hit the plastic part and it stopped working. Now it only works if you hold the bottom very firmly all the way down. The kitten who did this weighs less than 2 pounds. Kinda thought it would be a little more indestructible but alas.
It definitely is entertaining.
My cats love to watch this toy, like a tv so I’d say it definitely works. I do wish they’d jump after it get a workout. But that could be my cats being lazy picky
My cats love to watch this toy, like a tv so I’d say it definitely works. I do wish they’d jump after it get a workout. But that could be my cats being lazy picky. One of mine still finds yarn in knitting with to be the best toy. And Hey the toy does work entertaining them by watching it. #CatTV

I will always have one of these. My two love this toy. I have had one for years. If it conks out, I by another immediately. Every morning, I have my coffee, my two bats play with this. The world is good
Should come with more than one attachment
Cat loves it. I docked it a star bc it should come with a replacement attachment, and it should be heavier. My cat can grab it and tear it across the room and he’s
Cat loves it. I docked it a star bc it should come with a replacement attachment, and it should be heavier. My cat can grab it and tear it across the room and he’s a little guy. Already has ripped the feather out of it.
Entertaining
Butters loves it. She likes to lay on her back and swat at it as it goes over her. I like that it has a timer. It didn’t get 5 stars as the speed adjustment does
