Wearable Cat Feather Toy with a Bell and Wire Arm

You can't wave a wand all evening, but she can chase one all evening. Your arm gives out long before her interest does, and the moment the feather stops moving, so does she. This one keeps moving because she moves it.

This wearable cat feather toy puts the feather on a steel wire that arcs up over her head. Every step she takes moves it, so the lure never quite sits still and she keeps hunting it long after you have put your phone down.

Two ways to use one toy:

• Worn on the collar: the lure follows her, so the game starts wherever she is
• Wrapped on a cat tree: buckle it around a post and it becomes a fixed feather toy she comes back to
• Small bell: a sound cue that keeps her attention on the feather
• Adjustable buckle: fits a kitten through to a large adult cat
• Nothing to charge: no batteries, no motor, no noise for you

It stays where you put it. The silicone strap buckles like an ordinary collar, so the toy doesn't slide around her neck or drop off mid-game. Wrapped around a cat tree post it holds just as firmly.

Hand-bonded feathers on a thickened wire. The feathers are bonded rather than glued in a bunch, and the wire is thicker than the usual toy spring, so it keeps its arc instead of bending flat after a week of pouncing.

Set at the right height for her. The wire holds the feather just above her head, close enough to swat and far enough that she has to work for it.

Getting the size right

The strap buckles like a normal collar and adjusts to the neck, so one size covers kittens and adult cats. Check the size guide in the gallery for the strap range and the wire length before you buy for a very small kitten.

Specifications

• Collar: adjustable silicone buckle strap, 0.8 in (2 cm) wide, see the size guide in the gallery
• Wire: 9.25 in (23.5 cm) thickened steel
• Lure: 5.9 in (15 cm) hand-bonded feather with a bell
• Colors: blue, pink
• Fit: most cats and kittens
• Also fits: wraps around a cat tree post

Safety note: Supervise play and take the collar off before you leave the house. A wire lure on a worn collar is not something to leave a cat alone with.

Buckle it on, sit down, and let her start the game herself. The hunting happens without you holding anything.
