Fun Bird/Bat/Bugs Refill/Attachment - Fits Wildcat and Popular Bird and Mouse Type Wands/Poles (Octopus)

It's a pity I rarely leave reviews given the small fortune (literally my life's work) Amazon makes off me every year. Le sigh. Anyway. Will save eating the rich for another day. Right now though I'm showing up to give a shout out to Big Sky Cats (BSC), their cat toys, and the small group of amazing humans who make them. No I'm not affiliated with them in any way. Their cat toys are literally THAT good it would honestly be a pity to not give them their accolades and share my review with the world. They look real, feel real, and are clearly made by cat loving creatives who take pride in their work and goal in making them.I have three of my own cats, and about three months out of the year when my daughters are home from college, have their' two, too. I am also affiliated with a local rescue and foster throughout the year as well. A My inner joy largely hinges on their comfort and quality of life and and put a lot of effort (and money) into providing them with play & stimulation toys/games they deserve. They have an hour supervised outside play time in the yard, and indoor is STACKED with all the cat toys, trees, activity walls, interactive peek-a-boo games and treat mazes they could ever want. They stay largely unimpressed of course, and only two they acknowledge: the empty Amazon shipping box , and Big Sky Cat toys. Thats literally it. The latter is their absolute favorite - and so it is mine too. And by they I mean ALL of them.I think I have every critter BSC makes at this point and every one of these cats tries to establish each of them as their own. All day long they are stealing and stashing these guys from each other as if their pecking order depends on in. Its the one toy they never seem to tire playing with and always come back to. Even our most hard to impress cat will fling it around and have an absolute field day for extended periods of time. They know its a toy but it looks so dang real they actually feel like the accomplished hunter they are flinging it every which way. My oldest cat uses them as her little stuffy and has to bring one along with her every night before bed.Anyways yall just get it. I buy them as gifts and honestly you will see why for yourself. Cats are obsessed and I havent found any other toy out there that competes.

This is hands down the best cat toy I have ever got. My cats love them, they think it’s real. They ferociously attack them and then drag them off (with the stick and string too) and proudly carry them away like a prize. If you want to unleash the wild animal inside you kitty, these are the toys for them. Yes, they get destroyed eventually. My kitten will pluck some feather out as it’s “killing its prey” and eventually I replace them. They don’t eat any part of them, but they have so much fun playing with them.

I have two two-year-old, indoor cats, who great buddies but are as different as night and day. The Tuxedo enjoys a sedentary life, which just shows how different personalities can be quite naturally. As a youngster, he used to hunt the bathroom rug, dragging it all over the house and tearing out the strands. But around 18 months, he became less interested in playing, although he is in good health and chases his bonded bro around just fine.Incoming this BIRD! I put it out and wondered which cat would like it. Bro prefers shiny objects and candy wrappers to chase (like bugs). But our sleepier Tuxedo snapped up the BIRD and it has become HIS. He cannot get enough of it!! Always knows where he puts it. At 4 a.m., he gets up with my husband and brings it to him to throw and catch. When done, the cat stashes it under a bedroom door and then demands its return later when he wants to play again. He plays with The Bird, aka "The Beast", several times a day (and night).Bought a spare in case it gets lost, which would be a calamity. Interesting because the bro will sniff it, but is not engaged by it, although he is a very active hunter himself and loves to play and chase.The toy is made of real fur (which might distress some consumers), but these are CATS we are talking about. It's the most incredibly well-sewn cat toy ever made. It's been months and only lost a feather! You may disapprove of using animal fur, but we've decided that this bird caters to his cat need for hunting, and I feel less guilty about keeping him indoors. Getting him The Eagle for his birthday in August. He will just burst from sheer excitement! (envision eyes popping out!)Thank you for creating these stimulating critters!

My Maine CoonX boy's fave toy now.I have been searching for a toy my boy will play with without getting bored in mere minutes for months. The vet wants him to lose weight (he was overweight when he came to us), but being a MC, he does have a decent caloric need because he is so big. So the most effective way to getting weight off him was getting him active.His hunting instincts are strong, but he is also smart enough to see through crappy, fakey toys and doesn't like them. He will interact with them briefly then ignore them.This, though? He immediately started zipping around, jumping after this, pouncing on it, and now won't give it back to play more. He is bunny kicking it, gnawing on it (and being real fur I'm not worried about it being bad for him).I expect him to actively ask for this like he does his rabbit fur teaser, too. Will be buying more from Big Sky.

My cat likes this toy, and it seems built well enough, and he tears it apart after about 10 play sessions thinking it is a real bird and I have to tease it away from him to keep him from trying to eat it. hahaha!The loop to attach to a wand is the weak point - it needs something better than a thread loop.
