“The GOAT of cat toys!!” Said every cat I’ve given this to

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2024

Verified Purchase

This is the ABSOLUTE BEST cat toy of all time for these reasons:
1) it’s super fun for cats—every cat I’ve had or given it to since I first discovered it in the 90s
2) from kittens to elderly and minimally-engaged cats, it’ll ignite their hunting drive and keep them active—mind and body, even if all they can move is their paw, so it’s great for their quality of life
3) it’s virtually indestructible and very affordable—both in terms of if you have a cat like 50% of mine who love to ingest their toys—strings, feathers, stuffing—you’ll save on vet bills and replacement toys, because the only thing they could possibly eat are the tiny bits of thin brown paper rolled up tight to make the cardboard-type bits at the end! And it’s not life threatening!
4) it’s easy to play for a long time with your cat with this, and get them incredible exercise and bond with them without exerting too much energy
5) my kittens love this more than food, and they LOOOOVE food!
6) my neighbor’s outdoor/indoor cat is hard to engage with toys, but he went NUTS for this when I got him one!

Insanely interactive! With minimal hooman's effort - just hold it!

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

Just received this and it's awesome!

Wire isn't so flexible to be wrapped around body parts, risking strangulation. It's not bite-able - only the cardboard bits are - and it's more "transparent" being thin (but surprisingly strong!) and "magical" because there's a springiness to it that it bounces around whichever which way with minimal effort on the hoomans part! With that said, I do NOT recommend it as a leave-it-laying-around toy. The ends are twisted cardboard, which means play may result in unwinding of the cardboard bits and/or sogginess from capture and chewing. Considering it's obviously wire wrapped around these bits, it would mean a potentionally dangerous toy with its hooks on the ends if the bits are removed (ex: rip out a caught claw in the hook, poke in the eye with the end). So - be a RESPONSIBLE hooman and hold it - supervise the play! Perhaps play as a suspended fixture won't pose a problem as it's difficult to grab it adequately to chew on the bits in mid - air, but I haven't attempted it as a suspended fixture yet to observe.

I have a high energy extremely spunky/fiesty Calico kitten who live adores attacking and destroying things, whether it was in the form of hooman play or self play with pure imagination - - She immediately took to this toy as expected. Was even searching for it when it was out of reach for supper-time... Also, as expected (she even chooses her spring toys by color with whatever mood she's in). However, what I didn't expect was the little -
zero, even - i just held it, mostly! - effort i had to put in to make it an insanely interactive toy. "Insanely" as in, so worked up over it leaping, tumbling, chasing, flipping, that she actually ended up panting, over trees unpredictably and uncapturability and still wanted to play more! That's how strenuous an activity this simple wire and twisted cardboard can get - pantingly good! Yes, this toy can in unpredictable ways, but it's also controllable - you decide which! Unpredictably or controlled - it's a definite superb idea to HAVE BREAKS and play in rounds. Allow a recovery!

(side note: Cats do not have sweat glands other than on their paws and thus can overheat, leading to panting. Panting after strenuous exercise is understanadable; if they're unable to recover after a few minutes or the panting is unrelated to strenuous play, it may be stress, anxiety, or medical.)

She hasn't been taking to the new younger kitten well. It wasn't a planned adoption... But I do not play with animal lives nor do I discard them like trash, so I'm currently in the process of acclimating the Calico to the younger kitten. She actually ignored the kitten to play with this toy, like she forgot to be a bully, even just to stare... And the kitten was right in front of her, within reach! It was something I hadn't been able to achieve with any of her favorite toys!!! That.... is - royally- impressive.

I've installed a cat pheremones diffuser in hopes it'll assist in accepting the new kitten, and yes I've been using introduction strategies. As she is high energy (diffuser or not, new kitten or not) - Maybe she'll be spent enough with this highly interactive toy's assistance that she'll also abandon the (mostly passive) bullying outside of play time. In the meantime, I know which toy to use to distract her from bully mode and convert it into "happy play time" instead! Will be ordering more, actually!

I could see this toy assist tremendously in weight control, even, in addition to energy control, so this would be a good strategy for obese cats. Allowing unpredictability in play could also encourage mental stimulation for bored cats.

Cheapest, simplest, best. Our cats lose their minds!

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2024

Verified Purchase

Who knew that a small piece of rolled up brown paper at the end of a length of wire would be so compelling to the feline brain? Our cats lose their minds when this toy comes out and go full predator. It's got to be the springy movement. I've secured one end to the top of a wicker hamper and kept them (and myself) entertained for days.

Even my old cat girl was game

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2023

Verified Purchase

Ok- this is perhaps the quirkiest cat toy I’ve ever purchased. This was a “BuzzFeed top pet things”review item. It had great reviews AND was super reasonable $$( as far as pet things go). For the money , I thought, “ why not” and added it to my order. As I unpacked it, my two darlings were up and hanging about. I’m glad the package warned about it springing suddenly to life as it was coiled/wrapped tightly—so I was prepared , at least. My cats had no warning when this thing went bobbing up and down and all around immediately. There was a mad dash by the senior cat as she went after the end followed by a dark streak of the baby cat edging her out for first place in attacking the new toy. The baby cat couldn’t get enough of it. Even when I sent it in the direction of the senior cat, bobbing her way, the junior kitty would not be persuaded to share and take turns. They both leapt and jumped and chased and attacked like wild things until finally the toy was retired to an upper shelf. The two of them followed the path it took to the resting place and were later seen puzzling and plotting how to get the toy back for more zoomie time. Thinking it was just the novelty of the toy and that subsequent play sessions would result in a degree of calm and control…………..I was wrong. The very springy , bobbing, nature of this toy seems to be irresistible to cats of all ages - at least to my two. Super great price and a super fun toy for my fur-buddies. This will get the young cat and older cat up, moving and playing together.

Improvement ideas-
1) make it longer for better reach
2) include replacement twits for the end so these can be replaced ( DIY )
3) have a “ real” handle for the person to hold versus just twist that is about the same length as the knee the cat chases. If that can’t happen, make the twist that represents the handle slightly linger and slightly more rigid so it function better as a handle. This might increase the cost very slightly but it would be worth it.

Cats love it but expect to buy a lot.

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2024

Verified Purchase

Our kitten loves this toy the sporadic movement of the wire is great for their hunting instincts and is pretty cheap. The paper ends come off easily over time but that should be expected. Just be careful not to let your cat play with it alone as the metal wire can hurt their teeth if they chew on it over time.

Eu deixo preso em algum canto tambem, e eles brincam sozinhos, porque so de triscar, ja balança. Se vc nao tiver esse tipo de arame, vale a pena a compra.
