Best Cat Toy We've Tried!
Out of all the toys we've bought for my cat, the Cat Dancer 101 is hands-down the winner. It’s simple, affordable, and somehow totally irresistible to her. The moment I bring it out, she’s alert, playful, and ready to pounce. What makes it great is how it mimics real prey movement—she gets a full workout chasing it around, and it keeps her entertained way longer than other toys. No batteries, no noise, just pure fun. If you’re tired of buying fancy toys that your cat ignores, give this one a shot. It’s the only toy my cat consistently loves, and it’s become part of our daily play routine.

BEST CAT TOY EVER!
I have repurchased this Cat Dancer over 11 times in the past few years. My sweet cat Scout is full of energy and this is his favorite toy. Its so simple and yet so fun for him. He is obsessed. He plays with it everyday, the minute I get home he drags this toy over to play. This toy can withstand his constant play and chewing, its cheap and great quality. I have purchased so many because its literally the ONLY toy he will play with and he uses them until the paper is nearly chewed off. Great value, great toy, will continue to buy more for Scout!

Simple, cheap, and effective!
My Alex is 9 years old now and won't leap for toys like he used to. He's also a BIG cat, which has a lot to do with it. This Cat Dancer toy had him as active as I've seen him in years. A very simple design but done well. The thin wire gives the "prey" more interesting movements than string can, and the rough bits of cardboard seem durable to his fangs and claws - so far! But even if he shreds it in a week, they are very inexpensive to replace, so no complaints at all! Definitely worth trying out for your cat!

High Qualtiy, High Entertainment, High Action!
Skip the flashier cat toys, this is the only toy that actually engages cats! It moves like prey and instantly grabs their attention. The simple design is brilliant, making the toy cost-effective and high quality. We've had ours for many years without fail, and now I'm gifting to a new cat owner. Get yours today, you won't regret it.

Great toy and my cat loves it.
My cat loves this toy. She stopped playing with her wand toy but she likes this toy. I think it would s because it wiggles about in different ways. She will play with me for an hour before she gets tired. Also it is a pretty reasonable price. I got one for my friend who has two cats. They love it as well.

Sometimes my cat loves it.
Some of the little sticks (?) on the wire slip around. Not great-glue will help. Still a good toy. My old cat has loved this in her youth. Now she is hot or cold on it. It is fun to see her bounce after it.

Simple, inexpensive, entertaining cat toy
This is a simple but great cat toy! My cat loves trying to catch it. I can wave it around for him or I can close it inside a cabinet door or drawer so he can amuse himself. After many days, he still hasn't tired of it yet.
M**!
For the money...BEST CAT TOY EVER MADE!!! Unbelievable!
***This review is for the one with the Wall mount , but same product and this product is referenced in review*** This is quite honestly, the most simple, cheap, annoyingly designed cat product ever made. That being said, it is the best money I have EVER spent for a cat toy. I can't recommend this highly enough. I have 3 male cats. (see video) Two of them, the black and white big one, Rocko, and the Orange skinny one, Fletch, are both 11 years old. The black and grey smaller one, Greggor, is 8 years old. They all have different personalities, like different toys, and are NOT easily amused. For instance, Rocko will chase the knot on the end of a 3 foot rope tied to the end of a 2 foot stick all day. Greggor may join in. Fletch will just watch. Fletch will play with those balls with the slits in them and the bells inside (of course only the pink ones) as well as the round toy where you bat the ball in a circle. Greggor, maybe will use the round toy where you bat the ball in the circle. Rocko, will just watch. Greggor on the other hand, LOVES those milk rings from plastic 1 gallon milk cartons. He will play with them nonstop. Rocko and Fletch. Nothing. So with all that being said, they are all mesmerized by this. When you get it, you will be like, what? This is it? And you will say WTF! (Sorry, but you will) I first bought the one with the sponge paw mounting device, which again, when you see it will say, "yeah...that will stay on the wall" and you will think what a cheap piece of junk. So you will then put it up, slide the little end in the paw, bend it appropriately and watch your cats go nuts. I use a little piece of duct tape to hold the top of the paw or the wire will slide out easier. But the cool thing is, just because you put the mount up, doesn't mean the dancer has to stay in it. You can remove it from the paw and use it with your hand or tape it to the end of a yard stick. I personally just bought another one without the paw and taped it to a stick. My advice to mounting are 2 things. One, mount it like in my video, in a door way. And Two, mount the paw right under a light switch that is usually right next to a doorway that way you can use duct tape to hold the end of the mounting device w/out sticking duct tape to your wall. It sticks on the light switch plate and the paw, hence not having duct tape sticking to your wall. Now as far as if the paw will remove paint from your wall if you move it. I DON'T KNOW. But as you will see in my video, I always have a calendar hanging there so if it does effect the paint, I don't really mind. Then again I don't see myself taking the paw off the wall unless it comes off on its own, then I will just re-hang it with double sided tape or buy another one. (watch the whole video and you will eventually see the paw mount toward the end of the video...I wasn't using the duct tape then and you may not, but Rocko wants to rip it down so the tape is needed. Kittens and smaller cats you may not need to use any tape) Of course all cats are not alike and some may not like it. But people, give them a chance. You may have to put it on a stick and wave it around for a while to get them used to it. I have one on a stick and one on the wall. I have noticed that they don't play with the one on the wall as much, mostly because it's not moving. But if you look in my video, I usually have a fan running hence, the thing moves so they are more apt to play with it when it's moving. But the one on the stick...if I take that one out they are all going nuts from the time I bring it out until they either tire out, or I put it away. (I usually tire out before them) Lastly, the coolest thing is, when against a dark background, it sometimes literally looks like its floating in mid air. The wire is thin and the little cardboard rolls make it look kind of like a moth flying around. The other neat thing is the wire is bendable so you can bend it in many places to get it to stand out from the wall, so in my video it sticks out into the doorway. Bottom line, just buy 2 of these off the bat. One with the paw and one without, unless you have 2 places you might want to mount it. I have one mounted on the wall and one on the end of a stick and my cats after a month are still in love with this thing. One last bit of advice, I wouldn't leave it up all the time as just like anything, they may get bored with it, especially when you introduce it to them. But remember, unless it's moving, they are less likely to play with it. So maybe even set up a little portable fan a couple feet away when you mount it to make it move. It's only been a month, but spending $7.21 for both (I get free shipping with Prime) was the BEST money I have ever spent for a cat toy. They could sell this for $15.99 and if mine wore out or broke, which I can't see happening anytime soon, I'd still buy another one. If your skeptical, just buy one, pay the extra $1.19 for the sponge mounting paw and see if your cat(s) like it. Hope this long review and video helps! Happy hunting for your cat(s)!

Nie wiem na czym dokladnie polega fenomen tej zabawki, ale dziala genialnie. Zwykly kawalek drutu z kilkoma patyczkami bije na glowe rozmaite wymyslne akcesoria.

My kittens love this! It is much simpler and cheaper than other toys and they love it more. I stick one end in the couch or in a closed door and they play by themselves for almost 30 minutes.

A fun and light toy! I tape it to a scratcher so that it stays dangling to entertain my cats.
