Purchased a few of these for my kittens and they love it!
This door handle cat toy is so much fun! Purchased this toy for my kittens and they just went bonkers over it! My kittens were small when I first got these and because the string is long they had no problems attacking it! They are a few weeks older now and donât attack it like they first did but, they still do whack it! To keep them entertained I have moved it to different door knobs and they think it is a new toy. This is a very fun toy for them and am glad that I purchased it. My 4 kittens can be rough with their toys and this toy has really held up well, which is great!This toy is very easy to install, just simply place it over the door handle and it is ready to go. It is actually very secure the way this toy is designed. The plastic that fits over the handle hugs the door knob and the door securely. The actual piece that goes over the door handle is a hard plastic, the part that touches the door has rubber stoppers attached. The rubber piece helps to keep the toy in place and keeps the door from getting scratched up. The string that holds the little bird toy is elastic not just a rope, this way the toy will retract back once the kitten lets go of it in her mouth. The other feature is it comes with a bead on the elastic string so that you can adjust the length, this bead is placed on the back side of the plastic. That took me a bit to figure out! I was about to cut the string to shorten it since my kittens got bigger and there it was a bead to adjust the cord, perfect!Very cute, inexpensive toy! Would recommend this toy to other cat owners!

So simple but she loves it
This is her favorite toy. The feathers didn’t last long but the string seems to be holding. Don’t know if it’s something I can replace when it snaps but when that happens, I’ll just replace it. So far it’s lasted two months with rough yanking.EDIT: So the mouse on the string finally got chewed off a couple months ago and we havenât gotten around to replacing the whole thing yet. Needless to say, she still enjoys playing with the string. Iâm going to replace it still but itâs not a total loss, almost a year later.

Happy to have purchased this and recommend it for frisky felines
The cats LOVE this…we live out in the country and have a good number of animals…chickens, a hamster, dog and about 5 cats. They are all pretty young rescues and they play with EVERYTHING!! Seriously, they love to mess with things that they should not. That said, this was a helpful and welcome distraction from them messing with the couch and other such “paws off” items.This is a fairly simple/ingenious design that lends itself to a lot of fun for some cats. The only con that I can conceive is that I fear the elastic will wear out sooner rather than later (but for the price, it is expected and actually a good value). The price is great including Prime shipping and every single feline was indeed interested in this…the dog too but our 90+ pound beauty had to back off since she would utterly destroy it.We love our animals and this is something we are happy we got for them

Great For A Bit
It was a good product and my cats were addicted to it for a while. But they got bored of it after a week or so and don’t touch it anymore, even when I move it to another doorknob or shake the mouse on it. They’re 6 months, FYI, at the time of writing. But for the price… eh, not bad for a week of fun. One of my cats tugged the mouse pretty far like a rope and it snapped back, which scared her and caused her to run, but it proved the string is pretty durable, so I’ll give it that.

Our cat loves this toy
I donât know why this toy specifically but our male cat looses his mind over this toy. He lost it and we couldnât find it so we ordered a few backups of this toy. He plays with other toys regularly but this toy he walks around the house with it in his mouth constantly. Will definitely keep in stock. The door handle attachment works great until he rips it off. On or off the bungee cord he could care less as long as he has this toy.

Terrific toy! But I’ll have to fix it myself.
My kittens loved this toy. Hours of fun. Yesterday. However, it needs to be sturdier. Broke in one day. I’ll figure out how to fix it.Also, has feathers on it. I cut them off. Not good with cats. They can swallow part of a feather.
