The Giddy Kitty 5 Pack Cat Feather Toys with Small Bells and Long 33 Inch Wand with Handle - Includes 2 Soft Flying Insects, 1 Fish, 2 Corkscrew Feathers - Teaser Toy for Exercising Kitten or Cats

Both Kitty and I really like Giddy Kitty's cat feather toys. Mr. Grumpypants doesn't respond to many toys, but when he hears the bells on these puppies, he goes ballistic. He loves the cork toys best, maybe they have a satisfying heft, but who knows with cats? I laughed at previous comments about the wings coming off the dragonfly - these are faux-prey toys,folks; Kitty's not doing his job if they don't eventually wear out. Having said that, the now wingless dragonfly still elicits as much pouncing, leaping and batting as the fully winged version. What I didn't laugh about was that the wand came apart at the connectors fairly quickly. I tried to be excited about our new break-away model, but it really did interfere with our ability to play. A couple of drops of Super-Glue easily fixed the problem, but that issue should have been taken care of in manufacturing. I've since had the opportunity to try Giddy Kitty's telescoping wand - I didn't expect it would be as durable, but I've ended up liking it more. It's even easier to put away and the toy has more bounce with the telescoping wand. I was worried that the fishing line on it wouldn't be as durable as the cord on this wand, but we haven't had an issue yet. Of course, if Mr. Grumpypants ever gets a real firm grip on the toy and tries to head for the hills with his kill, I just drop the handle and let him drag the whole thing away. Makes him feel like he's snagged a really big one! These toys are now a staple in our house.

1. the dragonfly toy arrived damaged (one of the wings had been pulled out). That said I personally dislike the dragonfly attachment overall. It may not be an issue for all cat owners - but my kitty enjoys chewing the plastic (much to my disdain...) so I didn't want to give her the chance to try pulling off and eating the remaining wing2. My cat loves the other four toys - which is rather impressive as she is super picky with what she plays with. Her favorite so far has been the corkscrew toys. I believe because she can really bite down into them.3. The poll is an excellent length and is flexible enough to survive some rather aggressive cat play4. Overall Id say the toy is an excellent value - even without the dragonfly toy

The cats like it. They will play as long as I'm willing to dangle it in front of them. In fact, the cats got the 'extra' toys out of the closet and they 'kill' them and carry them around. One of the cats will even 'retrieve' the toys if I throw them for him. The only down side I can think of is that the wings didn't last a day on the dragonfly, but the cats like the 'body' anyway! There are also 'feather bits' on the furniture regularly, but, hey, they're cats!

I kept my kittens entertained for a continuous hour with just the dragonfly attachment. It was incredible.Attaching the dragonfly was too hard for me to do because I have weak fingers and hands. Fortunately my husband sacrificed his teeth to get the lock open. No broken teeth so just a metaphorical sacrifice. Sincere bravery to get the dragonfly attachment on the stick.I look forward to trying the other attachments. I just wish I could do it on my own or without having to use teeth to open the latch.

First of all, I did NOT receive this item for free, I paid the 13 bucks for it.Would I say the cost was worth it?Eh, I suppose.THE FEATHER ATTACHMENTSPros-Decent value. You really get what you pay for. I saw this cat toy, and I thought "Wow, what a good deal! 5 feather attachments!"Cons-My cat only really likes one of the attachment, the small butterfly. The other ones are larger and seem to intimidate him. The cork ones are sort of heavy and conk him in the nose, he didn't like that. Even so, he tolerated all the attachments except for one. I could get him to play with all the toys, just not the dragonfly… he hates the dragonfly.THE WANDPros-The wand works well, it's nice and long and whips around pretty goodCons-As another reviewer pointed out though, it's very flimsy. Don't play tug-of-war using this toy. You'll break it.-Also, the wand screws into place in two places (I told you it was long-- they send you the two components to screw together) and it constantly is coming unscrewed while playing. It’s not a big deal to screw it back together, just a bit annoying. I’ll have to put a little bit of superglue on the end so it doesn’t do that anymore.Overall, decent value. I wouldn’t call this a top quality cat toy, but it gets the job done and it’s good enough. My cat’s going to destroy every toy eventually anyway, and these seem like they’ll hold up for a decent amount of time. So yes, this toy's alright. I'll give it my solid, albeit lackluster, endorsement.

This package of feathered flying cat toys is The Best deal for wonderful exciting games for your kitties. And, I finally learned how to attach the different toys to the wand. This wand has a thick foam handle to keep it steady in your hand, I love it, think its a great deal and your cats will thank you too!

My cats love this toy. I was initially disappointed that it bends like a real fishing pole making it hard to play tug-of-war with but it turned out to be a lot bouncier and better exercise as my cats are more likely to chase it than cling to it. My cats are older and pretty overweight so it's surprising how much this toy can get them to play! The extra toys are also really handy for fixing old/broken similar stick-toys.

I've had this product for about nine months and all of them are still good but one. The dragonfly one did not last long at all. The wings were off within a few days. The other ones are still in great condition and going strong. They really have lasted longer than I expected.
