Cat Dancer Products Charmer Interactive Cat Toy

Dimensions listed in product specifications are wrong thankfully. The wand is about 16 inches long, a little short and the only drawback for this great toy. The best part is the sturdy fleece fabric that is securely attached to the wand. It is around 46 inches long and 3/4 inch wide, and it definitely dances with a flick of the wrist. For the price it appears well made. If it lasts a month it will be a great entertainment value. Most importantly, it wears out kittens so you can get a good night’s sleep.

Cats go nuts for this! Quality cat toy. Nice solid wand (vs hollow cheap plastic ones) so my cat can't chew it. He did chew the string but was unable to damage the wand. He's a known chewer, so I just keep it in a drawer until playtime. Gave one to two other friends with cats and it was a big hit at their house as well. Worth the price!

My cat really enjoys playing with us. The wand is very very sturdy. The felt part is about 5 ft long so you're able to play with a cat from the distance with no worry of getting scratched or bit during play. Great with kittens also. Makes virtually no noise and seems to be very decent quality. My cat loves to chew on the felt part and has been chewing on it for a year and cannot chew through it. I actually feel like it keeps his teeth clean and his breath fresher

The best cat toy! It’s extremely rare to find a toy this durable & fun to use.

My cat is profoundly weird as it is possibly the only cat who doesn't go nuts over a laser pointer, so toys for him are a little hard to come by. But this toy is practically a worship object for him. He ADORES this thing. He goes crazy when I bring it out, and he has started to find all my hiding spots, so he drags it out all on his own to play with it. I make sure I pin it down with something heavy if I leave the room. This is a supervised toy. You'd think a stick with a string wouldn't be that fascinating, but when I slide it tantalizingly across the ground in agonizing slow motion, he literally can't stand it. Must. Attack. Now. He pounces so hard he invented carpet sliding. His record is about a foot. This is a great little toy, because it is made from soft (super soft) felt, so you don't have to feel bad if you whack your cat (or an innocent bystander). It's sort of like a whip, so this is bound to happen. Actually, my cat prefers to get hit in the face with it. It just slides over his head between his ears, and he flips over on his back in a frantic lunge. Must Bite. Must Chew. Must Annihilate! It's seriously adorable to watch. The plastic stick on the end is really light weight, so your arm doesn't get tired until about the hour mark. Extended playtime. Concerns about tangling and knotting can be cast aside. My cat enjoys getting tangled up in it and just laying down with it around him, but the felt slides. Just a little tug and the network of string he's created around his paws comes undone without any knotting. Again, though, this is a supervised toy. I would not recommend leaving your cat alone with it. It is hard to get tangled permanently because of the slipping felt (a great, great feature), but there is the chance (however remote) it can wrap around the cat's neck. So if you let him play with it by himself just keep a close eye. The only problem I have found is my cat has all of his claws, so occasionally he snags one of them in the fabric. The problem fixes itself, though, because of the sturdiness of the felt. It is a tight, sturdy material, so there's no fraying to make the snag permanent. When snagging does happen, my cat has figured out he's just digging in too hard, so he lets go. Nothing actually gets stuck stuck, just caught for a split second. Not only is the felt sturdy, but so is the stick it's attached to. The string is attached with a rubber cover piece, and my cat has yanked on it for all he's worth. The thing hasn't budged. This toy is going to last for a long time. All in all, it is amazing and totally worth the price. A must buy for any cat owner. You will get hours of entertainment.

My cat loves this thing. I have other Cat Dancer toys and in particular the one with a wire and cardboard on the end. She flips out over that toy, and it hones her hunting skill and speed. This one is different as she engages it in a different way. It is more of a catch and tussle game of rolling around with it and tangling herself up in the fabric. The price is great, and she loves to have me play with her at bedtime on our bed. The rough and tumble is a great way to burn energy for a good night sleep leaving us undisturbed until the morning. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was I did not receive the toy color it shows in the picture. The one I got was a black and white zebra stripe. It's okay but would have preferred the color they show for example. A bit of false advertising I'd say, but still love their cat toys no matter this small issue.

Cats love it! Even my lazy girl finds it amusing lol. Very sturdy too! (ignore my heavy breathing, i had just gotten done running around with it with my black cat lol)

I love this toy and so do my cats. They are entertained by how long it takes them to catch up with it.

I bought this toy nearly a year ago in May 2014 to help entertain four mischievous two month old kittens and mum cat. In June 2014 I took one of the kittens home (who is now a pretty large one year old cat) and introduced him (along with the cat charmer toy) to our even larger 2 year old male cat. As you can imagine, this toy has not had an easy life. It has come up against multiple sets of teeth and claws (often at once) and they have definitely not been gentle. While the handle is covered in chew marks (the kittens enjoyed giving it a good gnaw when they were teething), nearly a year later the toy is still in great shape. The end of the material is a little stretched, but this may be because of us tying knots into it or attaching other toys to the end rather than from the cats. It's very durable - after 11 months of use, by kittens and then adult cats, there have been no tears or fraying at all. The material of the toy is also very long, much longer than I was expecting it to be from the pictures - this makes it great for use with more than one cat. Most importantly, our boys LOVE this toy. Our older cat was never really interested in cat toys before I brought this one home (and we've tried plenty wand/dangler-style toys before). As I'm sure many of you can relate to, we have bought numerous cat toys which have entertained them for a short while but which have inevitably ended up forming a steadily-growing pile of rejection. This is the one toy that always gets them crouching and bum-wiggling as soon as we get it out. We have to keep it out of paw's reach when we're not around - if we put this in a drawer and we leave it slightly open, you can guarantee that a little furry arm will eventually appear. Both of our cats particularly like grabbing the end of the material in their mouth and running off with a human still desperately attempting to keep hold of the other end. Once they succeed in yanking it from our grasp, it's us chasing them. We're so fond of this toy that it has even been named! When I bought this it was £7.99 - it was well worth the money then, and it's cheaper now. Its durability means you won't have to worry about buying a new cat toy any time soon. And besides, if your cats love this as much as ours do, you'll probably never need to look at another cat toy again!

De todos los juguetes de mi gato este es su preferido, puede estar horas jugando con el incluso sin que yo lo mueva enganchando la vara en algún sitio dejando colgar la tira de fieltro.

I am amazed at how strong and durable this is. Even though my cat pulls and tugs at it with full claws and teeth, this product is indestructible! She has gotten tired of a lot of the other toys i've gotten for her but this one is an all time favorite for her, no matter what time of day. An excellent product!

We have two cats, sisters, but very different. One runs around chasing anything she can. Marie, not so much. But she loves her Cat Dancer, and does indeed dance around trying to capture the tempting twisty tail and delights in her successes. The tail is relatively wide, unexpectedly long, and a bit stretchy. It's ideal for capture efforts, and is big enough that it's a satisfactory prey object once it's "brought down". However, the active cat has shown no interest. We've had it for about a month.

The length of the fabric makes it easy to get the cats active without having to stoop. The cats love it, I just make sure to put it away when they're done so they don't chew the fabric.
