Update 3/11/22: still working fine, and getting used daily by 2 cats. The feathers have completely been ripped off now, and wand is surprisingly still intact, despite my senior cat always trying to chew on it. Having trouble with replacements feathers though. All the ones I’ve tried are too heavy so the ball can’t stand up and swing around. For now I just hot glued some feathers and ribbon from an old toy, light enough for it to work. Kinda disappointed like others that replacement wands are not available. But I can see another seller listing 2 balls w/ wands & 2 replacement wands for about $30, so weird how I can’t just purchase individual wands :(
PROS: This is hands down the best toy I have bought for my 9 month old kitten. She has been playing with it pretty much nonstop since we got it. She plays with it all over the house (carpet and tile), she seriously just purrrs nonstop playing with this thing! She bats at it and attacks it while it’s on and moving, she still plays with it when turned off but keeps waiting for it to move, then looks at me like WTF Mom, FIX IT haha!!! My senior cat enjoys it too, but he loses interest after a few minutes…I think he just enjoys being bigger and faster than the kitten at attacking it. We have only had it for 1 day so I can’t speak for longevity of toy, but my husband picked up the kitten while she still had the feather wand in her grip. It dropped on the tile floor pretty hard but still stayed together in one piece and haven’t noticed any difference in the motor function so I would say it’s pretty sturdy!
CONS: I will say that when I bought this (even after reading some reviews, but not enough) I thought this was motion activated. I thought it was always on standby and would start moving when touched, then stop after a while. So I was kinda disappointed when I realized you have to press the button for 10 min of motion that auto shuts off. So a little inconvenient to keep pressing the button every few minutes for my very active kitten, but it’s worth it. Keeps her occupied, when she’s bored or wants attention she just meows nonstop and looks for ways to get in trouble so she gets attention haha.
As other reviews stated, packaging was tough to crack or cut with scissors but no more than other plastic packages. I was able to open it with 1 arm (other arm in a sling), scissors and muscle and DID NOT cut myself! Opening the battery pack was also a little tricky but not difficult. Just get a small screwdriver, lefty loosy, screw becomes loose but does not pop out, then I took a flat head screwdriver to pop the battery pack open, insert batteries then with a little force pop it back in and screw it tight.
All in all, it was reasonably priced, does exactly what I wanted, and my kitten is seriously LOVING this thing. 9/10 rating for me, only reason it’s not 10 is cause I have to keep getting up to turn it on cause kitten meows at me 😹
