We like that it’s not reliant on batteries and that it provides fun for timely intervals so he gets a break and doesn’t get bored!

It’s hard to say exactly why cats love the Cat Dancer so much, but there’s no arguing with results, and Cat Dancer Products has sold 8 million of these things. You can also check out our picks for the best interactive dog toys so your pups can get in on the action, too! It’s a useful length, enabling you to play with your cat from a seated position, or cast a lure part of the way across the room, or tease out cats that are a little shy and unwilling to get too close. Believe it or not, I bought enough for everyone but you know the one that brother or sister has is always better.

When playing with the cat, the cat will swirl with the feathers to attract the cat's attention visually.

Remember to ask your parent's or guardian's permission before making these toys or giving them to your own pets to play with. All in all it’s hard to imagine a more useful pack of refill lures, since every lure is a blast to play with, and it includes plenty of the feathered lures that cats seem to love most.

Works best with catnip, crinkle balls, mice, cat wand toys, and other favorites, making it arguably one of the best cat interactive toys. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. The feather toy part is not made very strong; one feather came right off just casting the toy and the reel handles are 1/4" long, not an actual handle. The Cat Dancer is remarkably simple—there’s no replacement lures to attach, and no separate line and wand.
