Our Pets Whirling Wiggler Spinner Interactive Cat Toy Replacement Part – Does Not Include Base

Even though this item seems extremely fragile, my cat has knocked it off tables many times, and it is just because this item is so "flexible" and light that it doesn't suffer any damage. My only concern is because the butterflies move around in a circle SO fast that it is more disconcerting to kitty, so I would suggest a longer wire for the butterflies, say, another six inches, so they slow down a bit. Otherwise, this item is extremely cool for kitty.

This toy tips over too easily due to the very small sized base. After I attached the base to a sturdy piece of cardboard that solved the problem and this toy was amazing. My cat loves it. And it's silent, which I love.The biggest downside to this toy is that my cat separates the butterfly from the wire within seconds. And purchasing replacement butterfly attachments costs the same as buying a whole new toy which is ridiculous. If the butterflies were sturdier and held out a bit longer I would have given this five stars.

My 11+ year old, 8 pound, cat loves this toy. She chases the butterflies around and catches them. When she gets tired of doing that, she stretches out next to the base and swats at them as they come around, or she'll lay on her back and swat them overhead. Unfortunately (reason for only 3 stars) she has managed to break one wing off the yellow and bent the red, in only 10 days. It still works, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it. The living room floor is covered with brown packing paper she uses as a bluff. Although she doesn't tire of playing with it, I can't afford to buy butterfly replacements every 10 days, especially as the price has gone way up.UPDATE: Well, the wings are gone from both butterflies, but I tied a short strip of plastic Christmas ribbon to each bug and she's just as happy. I first thought of colored knitting yarn, but if she got those off and swallowed, it would wreak havoc with her gut. Never give cats string or yarn to play with. If it gets caught in the gut, it can go so far as to kill them. Anyway, I'm changing to 5 stars even though the fix was my idea.

Cats love the concept, but it spins way too fast! I wish it would spin slower like the single butterfly one. Now I just leave it on the floor turned off because the fast spinning freaks them out. They just sit and bat at it now.

we had the OG Of this for our cat. he loved it and played with it all the time. the butterfly was on a longer wire. this one the cat looks at it and walks away. not kidding. it doesn't bounce around the same as that one did.

This is the most mesmerizing cat toy I've ever seen. I'm not a cat owner - this was bought for my granddaughter's cat - but she goes nuts every time she sees it, running in circles and leaping in the air while WAITING for it to be turned on. The 4 instead of 5 stars are for two things: first, the batteries run out frequently, and second, she has broken 3 of them now. She loves the toy so much that she grabs and bites at the butterflies. Currently all are "dead." A sturdier toy with longer battery life would make it a 5 star toy.

My cats love this! I love that you can separate the butterflies or let them run together. The fluttering sound of the wings instantly grabs their attention and they initiate play time. The butterflies may need replaced if your cat bites at them a lot (which my one does), but so far so good!

I don't buy a lot of cat toys. My cat always seem happier chasing string and rubber bands. After reading the reviews, I decided to try this whirling wiggler toy. One of my cats is obsessed with it! She was quite scared at first but once she got used to it, she can't leave it alone. Those butterflies buzzing around get her attention every time. This is not a young cat mind you. She is over 8 years old and not especially playful so I was surprised. Now, our 12-year-old cat? She just watches it but doesn't try to play with it. Granted, she's more mellow than her sister so her reaction was as expected.
