Pet Fit For Life Cat Wand Toy, 5-Piece Worm Teaser & Exerciser

I rarely leave product reviews, but this wand is so durable in comparison to the other similarly priced options, that I had to give a kudos. It is a bit heavy if your pet enjoys longer play sessions, but to me, that is worthwhile cost for the strength of the wand. The worms also appear to be of better quality as well. Most I have bought begin unraveling immediately, but these have stoop up to a few play sessions already

My older, lazy cat loves her "squirmy worms" as I call them. I have never seen this item in pet stores and even if I did, I know that it would go for double the price that Amazon charges for them. I forget the name of it, but the worms themselves remind me of a toy I had growing up in the 1970s where you would attach it to your shirt with transparent thread and make it look like it was moving and doing tricks. I always thought it would make a great cat toy and lo and behold, someone apparently thought the same thing! The string and the wand itself are a very generous length, which makes playing with your cat easy on your back while standing as well as sitting down. I make the worm hide itself in holes on a cardboard scratcher I bought for her and this makes her go nuts because it brings out her hunting instinct. She also loves it when I make it go underneath a piece of tissue paper. I love the bright florescent colors. I guess time will tell how well these hold up to cat's claws and mouths, which is why it was nice that they give a total of five worms that can be easily swapped out. For now it's definitely a fun toy!

This is the BEST of these toys. If you kitty enjoys playing this way, other versions of this break - the poles are thin wood and break in half; the string is nylon and dangerous, and the "wormies" disintegrate quickly. This wand is sturdy with a black nylon string and the "wormies" stay intact. Also the bell on the wormie is optional, a feature which other versions of this do not offer.

This teaser is built a lot like a fishing pole. When I play with my cats, I say I'm going "catfishing." The rod comes in two pieces and connects basically by inserting the ends together and twisting the top end until you can feel the connection is firm. It has stayed together through one of my cats playing tug-o-war with me and trying to steal the toy on the end. The only time it has loosened a bit for me is when I've shaken it around enough to jiggle the end rod loose, but it's easy to tell when this happens and quickly twist it back into place. My cats love the attachments that come with it. They're very lightweight and wiggle. They're also surprisingly strong. One of my cats likes to grab toys in his mouth and try to carry them away, and the attachment I've used so far is still in one piece. I was worried the "worm" part would get ripped out of the plastic easily, but that hasn't happened yet. I really like that the end of the string has a clip so that I can change out the attachments and add new ones. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the end of the rod is made like a fishing pole, with a reinforcer for the string, but the string is tied directly to this reinforcer instead of being run down the entire length of the toy, like an actual fishing pole. Also, I wish the toy itself came with some different attachments other than just the "worm" type ones. I know the seller also sells a pack of different attachments, but I feel the basic spread of them included with the toy could have a little more variety.

I have a very energetic cat that has ripped apart several of his wand-mouse toys, so I sought something that might be better at draining his energy while not having to buy new toys so often. This perfectly fits that requirement. He chases it and doesn't stop until he's completely exhausted and lying on his side on the floor, gasping, while still following the worm with his eyes. It comes with several worms with different colors to keep the game fresh. In the 3-4 months I've used these worms, I'm happy to report that he is still very motivated by the worms, hasn't broken any of them (maybe just a fiber or two if I let him catch them), and often goes to the drawer where I keep them to scratch it, demanding that I play with him. My only small complaint is that the wand is designed to be very long and to have two pieces, that one must put together, which makes it convenient for storage and play, but if the cat catches the toy or pounces on the string too hard, the wand will come apart (I have to put it back together roughly 2-3 times in every 10-15 minute play session). If your cat is anything like mine, I would suggest you to do your best at simulating prey behavior (don't just dangle it in his face), and use a regular wand-mouse toy after every 2 or 3 sessions with the worms, so that he can satisfy his need to bite, chew, and bunny kick like he would on living prey. The worms aren't quite as easy to chew and scratch, which helps with their durability, but I think cats (or at least my cat) do get a lot of enjoyment from being able to catch and bite his toys.

Nicely designed cat toy to perk up my older cat's play. Rod. Heavy duty, more rigid than flexible, nice top piece with large hole fishing rod top, which I can envision making it easier for me if I need to ever retie the string. Soft comfortable foam handle. Personally I like the 2 piece model because it can pack smaller if needed, unlike a longer one piece toy that Amazon had to send in a huge box solely because of its length. The amount of rod that fits inside is fairly long do it's sturdy. If it gets to be a problem I'll just add a dab of super glue. String is thicker braided cord tied securely onto the rod and the swivel hook. It's just a little shorter than the rod. Swivel hook is also of good quality. Has bell which looks removable if a quieter toy play time is necessary. Easy to attach toy. Only concern is to keep this friendly. Make sure children and adults use wand toys with care. If you over do it with speed and vigor the hook might whack your cat on the nose or eye. Wormy toy is fun to see move in squiggly fashion and the plastic attaching sleeve is heavy duty like the rest of the toy. Bright colors. Cats seem to love it. I can see giving this toy as a gift to clients or humane society.

It is good value BUT the stick kept falling apart from the middle as you play. The 2 parts of the stick are very loosely connected.

Every night the kitty requests play while we watch tv / great toy

My cat has broken multiple wand toys. He plays very roughly. But he has yet to break this one! I am very impressed by the durability! Furthermore, I love how interchangeable the parts are. It allowed me to attach his favorite toy to the wand! Additionally, it makes repairs and replacements possible, though I am yet to require any. Worth the investment!

My cat loves playing with this toy. Loves chasing the tail part! Drained her energy in no time! Recommend for very active cats that love to chase!

My cats love this toy. They chase it and jump at it. When I am being lazy I can sit in my chair and play with them or they'll chase it around the house. Great purchase.

This is my kitten's favourite toy by far. He loves chasing the worm around. It moves in a realistic way. I love that the stick is long so I can play from one spot, and that it can be stored easily as it splits in two. The toy is strong - my kitten pretty much hangs off the end and it hasn't come apart at all. Great toy!

Suggested by a friend and my cat loves them. Whether loose or attatched to a stick she's having a blast!
