Cat Dancer Products 101 Interactive Cat Toy, Brown

I’ve tried countless cat toys over the years, but this is by far the best. I have 4 cats, and they all absolutely love it! Normally, they lose interest in toys quickly, but this one has become their absolute favorite. It’s so engaging that I’ve repurchased it multiple times.The simple design, a wire with cardboard at the end mimics the erratic movement of prey, which keeps my cats captivated for hours. Despite its simplicity, it’s durable and safe for them to play with, with no small parts they could swallow. Plus, it’s affordable and provides endless fun without breaking the bank.If you’re looking for a toy that will keep your cats active and entertained, the cat dancer is a must have. It’s a simple, yet brilliant toy that my cats adore!

The Cat Dancer Interactive Cat Toy has been an absolute hit in my household! As a cat parent, I’m always on the lookout for toys that can keep my furry friend entertained while also giving them a good workout—and this toy ticks all the boxes.The design is so simple yet so effective. The lightweight, flexible wire with little cardboard pieces at the end seems to be irresistible to cats. The moment I brought it out, my cat’s eyes lit up, and she was instantly engaged, pouncing, chasing, and leaping through the air like a kitten again! It’s incredible how such a minimalistic toy can bring out their natural hunting instincts.What I love most is that it encourages interactive play, allowing me to bond with my cat while she gets some much-needed exercise. It’s perfect for burning off that extra energy, especially if your cat is an indoor kitty. Plus, it’s durable—I’ve used it daily, and it’s still holding up despite my cat’s enthusiastic attacks.If you want a toy that will keep your cat entertained, active, and happy, I can’t recommend the Cat Dancer enough. It’s simple, affordable, and provides endless joy for both you and your feline friend!

This is such a simple little toy, but it’s one that our older cat loves more than any ball, fake mouse, or squeaky toy. We only need to ask him if he wants the wire and he gets super excited. Sometimes when he seems restless, all we need to do is get this toy out and he’s just like a kitten again. Even though he’s a senior cat, and has mobility issues, he’ll run and chase this thing as best he can! The other cat loves it too. The only reason we have to replace it once in awhile is that if left alone, the cats will eventually chew off the little cardboard pieces—but that takes a while. Cats are fascinated by this toy. Very inexpensive but very appealing to cats. You, the owner, will get tired of waving it around for your cat long before the cat tires of chasing it. Highly recommended, and for our cats a must have!

The media could not be loaded. ***This review is for the one with the Wall mount , but same product and this product is referenced in review***This is quite honestly, the most simple, cheap, annoyingly designed cat product ever made. That being said, it is the best money I have EVER spent for a cat toy.I can't recommend this highly enough. I have 3 male cats. (see video) Two of them, the black and white big one, Rocko, and the Orange skinny one, Fletch, are both 11 years old. The black and grey smaller one, Greggor, is 8 years old. They all have different personalities, like different toys, and are NOT easily amused.For instance, Rocko will chase the knot on the end of a 3 foot rope tied to the end of a 2 foot stick all day. Greggor may join in. Fletch will just watch. Fletch will play with those balls with the slits in them and the bells inside (of course only the pink ones) as well as the round toy where you bat the ball in a circle. Greggor, maybe will use the round toy where you bat the ball in the circle. Rocko, will just watch. Greggor on the other hand, LOVES those milk rings from plastic 1 gallon milk cartons. He will play with them nonstop. Rocko and Fletch. Nothing.So with all that being said, they are all mesmerized by this. When you get it, you will be like, what? This is it? And you will say WTF! (Sorry, but you will) I first bought the one with the sponge paw mounting device, which again, when you see it will say, "yeah...that will stay on the wall" and you will think what a cheap piece of junk. So you will then put it up, slide the little end in the paw, bend it appropriately and watch your cats go nuts. I use a little piece of duct tape to hold the top of the paw or the wire will slide out easier. But the cool thing is, just because you put the mount up, doesn't mean the dancer has to stay in it. You can remove it from the paw and use it with your hand or tape it to the end of a yard stick. I personally just bought another one without the paw and taped it to a stick.My advice to mounting are 2 things. One, mount it like in my video, in a door way. And Two, mount the paw right under a light switch that is usually right next to a doorway that way you can use duct tape to hold the end of the mounting device w/out sticking duct tape to your wall. It sticks on the light switch plate and the paw, hence not having duct tape sticking to your wall. Now as far as if the paw will remove paint from your wall if you move it. I DON'T KNOW. But as you will see in my video, I always have a calendar hanging there so if it does effect the paint, I don't really mind. Then again I don't see myself taking the paw off the wall unless it comes off on its own, then I will just re-hang it with double sided tape or buy another one. (watch the whole video and you will eventually see the paw mount toward the end of the video...I wasn't using the duct tape then and you may not, but Rocko wants to rip it down so the tape is needed. Kittens and smaller cats you may not need to use any tape)Of course all cats are not alike and some may not like it. But people, give them a chance. You may have to put it on a stick and wave it around for a while to get them used to it. I have one on a stick and one on the wall. I have noticed that they don't play with the one on the wall as much, mostly because it's not moving. But if you look in my video, I usually have a fan running hence, the thing moves so they are more apt to play with it when it's moving. But the one on the stick...if I take that one out they are all going nuts from the time I bring it out until they either tire out, or I put it away. (I usually tire out before them)Lastly, the coolest thing is, when against a dark background, it sometimes literally looks like its floating in mid air. The wire is thin and the little cardboard rolls make it look kind of like a moth flying around. The other neat thing is the wire is bendable so you can bend it in many places to get it to stand out from the wall, so in my video it sticks out into the doorway.Bottom line, just buy 2 of these off the bat. One with the paw and one without, unless you have 2 places you might want to mount it. I have one mounted on the wall and one on the end of a stick and my cats after a month are still in love with this thing.One last bit of advice, I wouldn't leave it up all the time as just like anything, they may get bored with it, especially when you introduce it to them. But remember, unless it's moving, they are less likely to play with it. So maybe even set up a little portable fan a couple feet away when you mount it to make it move. It's only been a month, but spending $7.21 for both (I get free shipping with Prime) was the BEST money I have ever spent for a cat toy. They could sell this for $15.99 and if mine wore out or broke, which I can't see happening anytime soon, I'd still buy another one. If your skeptical, just buy one, pay the extra $1.19 for the sponge mounting paw and see if your cat(s) like it.Hope this long review and video helps! Happy hunting for your cat(s)!

I'm almost ashamed to write this review as the item is so simplistic you'd think you could easily have created it yourself. Yet this toy is the most used one in our house of four cats and every single one of them goes crazy over it. It has a natural bend in the wire that can be held (with some practice) up or down which affects the movement of the paper/cardboard pieces at the end leading to a greater variety of movement. The multiple cardboard pieces make a slight flutter sound if you move it fast enough which captures our cats' attention. The erratic bouncing of the wire makes it seem like a real bug. I've accidentally had it swatted into the cat's water, soaking the ends, and once I let it dry for a few hours it was as if nothing happened to the cardboard quality of the end which was very surprising.
