Petstages Cat Hunting Wand Toy - Stimulate Your Cat's Natural Instincts to Hunt and Play

BayouMagnolia: My cats love this toy! I have bought several of these butterfly wands. I do prefer the original feathery fabric that in my mind looked a lot more like a butterfly and seemed to have the right texture.
I have received one that had a fully plastic butterfly which my kitties didn’t want to grab or chew as much. I understand the switch though as my kitties would destroy the fabric kind the first time playing. We got pretty good at reconstructing the butterflies with the shredded parts to try and extend the life of the toy.
Overall it’s cute and has good movement and my kitties love it, it’s it totally worth it to me. 😻

Amy Zrostlik: I bought these because I noticed my cat was really into a butterfly outside. Wasn't so sure then these arrived because they look cheap. My cats love these toys though! Probably their favorite.

Janine Ward: My cat isn't easily impressed but he absolutely LOVES this toy! It's just the right length to tease him and it flutters like a real butterfly! It's one of his favorite toys and has gone through several already. That being said, you can't be too rough with it or the butterfly will break. I will continue to purchase this item as long as they make it. Great cat toy for a great price!

Man KongMan Kong: My 4 month old kittens love this toy, but there is not point to buy something that only last for a week.

azra: This id my cat's favourite toy, hands down. It only lasts a few months because my cat likes to bite thr butterfly, but it's well worth it! No suction because it doesn't have a suction cup, and it's decently sturdy: i haven't had one break aside from my cat's biting.

Amber D: My cat didn’t really take to it but my pit bull/ boxer mix goes nuts for it! I think her spirit animal is a cat. She is definitely a hunter. We go outside and she leaps and flies through the air trying to kill this little plastic butterfly. When she catches it, I try to release the stick from my hand and tell her to “drop it” and hope she doesn’t rip it apart. She’s ripped apart a number of them so far but I’ve used tape and superglue to extend the life when more were out of stock. Now I keep extra ones on hand and out of reach.

Update: We're training our dog to use word buttons, and get favorite word is "butterfly." She asks for this toy by name several times a day.

At the $4 price, I highly recommend stocking up. These are practically disposable. Keep duct tape available to fix a couple of times but eventually you need to give up and throw it away. Now that the price is $10 I'd wait until it goes back down.

Amazon Customer: My cats all time favourite toy. Literally, no other toy has been as stimulating and kept his attention as long. Problem is the butterfly will break off after a few play times. I wish they came with additional butterflies. I cannot justify buying another one, if they were cheaper I’d buy a stock of them.

Amazon Customer: Thr butterfly breaks off the wand too easily.

Gadget Dabbler: Okay... I gave the toy 4 stars because my cats go CRAZY over it.

The one thing you have to reconcile yourself on is that these wands are disposable. The butterflies (whether the old feathery one, or the new plastic ones) are extremely fragile. Wings and parts of wings will snap off in furious cat action (is there any other kind???). The good thing is, even with a partial butterfly, the cats will still be intrigued by it. You can stretch out the usefulness by continuing to use them until all you have is the body.

As someone else noted, also be careful playing with your cats. The butterfly is attached by a thin, bare metal wire. It's that wire that gives the toy such a unique bounce and springiness which drives the cats crazy. But it CAN be dangerous. Just be cautious in not letting your cats get entangled in the wire, or otherwise cut by it. Because of this, it's also not a good toy for young children who can't yet be coached in the proper handling of the toy.
