SPOT A-Door-Able Plush Bird Cat Toy | Rattle and Catnip Cat Toy Provides Hours of Entertainment for Your Cat | Hangs on Any Size Door Frame

My younger cat adores this thing. This is our third after he played with the first two til they broke. I’ve also tried the mouse versions, but he didn’t really like it.The only cons are thatI don’t like the over the door function as the little rubber covers fall off and it scrapes the paint. I remove it from that and hang it from a ceiling hook, but this leads to the string being way too short.

Our kitty (12 years old) has been getting more and more inactive, that is ... until i purchased this toy that hangs from the head jamb of our door ! it hangs just low enough to catch his attention and is just high enough that he has to lift himself up to bat it and play with it ... and WOW ! does he ever like playing with it! most of the time he likes playing with it late at night, but he plays with it during the day, too! we are happy that he is being more active !

my cats favorite toy, she will play with it for an hour.

I didn't see the reviews about the string being too short until I hung this up. Great toy, but come on. If you're going to sell a product, it ought to work out of the package. I rigged up a hook between the door frame holder and the elastic, but people shouldn't have to do that. Just add some length, for crying out loud. Edited: I tied a piece of cotton clothesline to the frame thingy, and now my cat is having a ball. I made it long enough that she can lie down on the floor and bat it around or jump on it. Go figure. You just really need the thingy that goes on the door frame.

My cats LOVE these kind of hanging bungee toys so I was excited to see this one go on sale. I cut the tail feathers off right away because my one cat has pica worse than any dog and would just eat them, but the feathers on the side are glued on nicely enough I wasn't too worried.As soon as I got it out, they were immediately all three right there jumping, batting, and chasing after it. My special-needs guy (pictured) was especially obsessed with it. He had to have both his knees repaired a couple years ago so toys like this are great to help him keep building muscle and confidence.Unfortunately, it took less than three play sessions, maybe 30 minutes total, before the seam at the bottom of the toy popped open and stuffing and fuzz went everywhere. HUGE danger for the cat with pica! (Which is why I only put the toy out when I could supervise.) I'll have to see if I can sew it back together or replace the toy with something more sturdy. It's a shame since they had so much fun with it.

Cute toy for cats. Easy to hang. My cats were not too enthusiastic with it.

With three kittens in the house that are only six months old, I like to find ways to keep them active. I also like to wear them out before bedtime so they sleep through the night. Many of the toys I've found that work well for this require my interaction -  The Da Bird Value Pack (Includes 1 Da Bird Pull Apart Cat Toy & 2 Replacement Feathers) , laser pointers,  Zucker Feather Products Natural Peacock Eye, Natural, 12-Pack , which makes it difficult to find time on busy nights.I found the Ethical A-Door-Able Plush Bird Cat Toy with Feathers at a locally owned pet store and thought it looked interesting. I put it up when I arrived home that day and the kittens went absolutely nuts!!It simply hangs around the door frame, but it doesn't attach. The `clips', for lack of a better word, are designed similarly to a stethoscope, and you simply hang a clip on either side of the door frame. The bird toy hangs from a string attached to the center of the clip. There is a breakaway so cats don't get hung on it, and the clip itself can fall away if tugged hard enough. However, the kittens never pulled the clip down with normal play.The string attached to the bird is elastic, so when the bird is pulled, it bounces all around in the air, swings to and fro, and makes the little bird an eminently appealing piece of kitten prey. Buckaroo was the first to catch the bird and then walked around the bathroom and hall where I'd hung it growling as fiercely as he could at the other kittens when they came near it. Do you think it damages a kitten's psyche when you laugh at their growls? It was too adorable!It wasn't long before the other two kittens got a turn at the bird and they played past the point of exhaustion. When one got too tuckered out, it would lay nearby watching another kitten play with it, but none of them would leave it completely until I put it away at night. I wasn't worried about them getting hurt, but I did think the noise they made playing with this toy would keep me awake.As one would expect with most well-loved pet toys, the bird started losing parts early. The feathers used for wings were the flimsiest pieces and the first to go, but the eyeballs weren't too far behind. After that, the bird stayed intact. The toy handled a lot of intense kitten play for a solid month before the elastic string finally snapped.The kittens now play with the wingless, eyeless bird on the ground, but I am buying a replacement for them right away. I looked for a replacement toy for the clip, but don't see one. That would be the best improvement I could recommend to the manufacturer, Ethical Products, Inc. Replacement toys would be a nice addition to their product line and more green than replacing the unbroken clip every time the attached toy breaks.

My kitties are on their 3rd one of these in a year - they love it so much they feel they need to free them from their flying captivity (and make it another toy to play with and hide in an undisclosed location!). They typically defeather with a few days, but it's still so much fun for them to jump, catch, pull and play to their little hearts content. It's one if their favorite toys, and they complain to me until I put it up in a doorway.WELL DONE! I'll keep buying so they can keep up their workouts! :) Please don't ever stop making, or I'll have two upset kitties!
