JW's® Feather Ball Cat Wand is designed to activate your cat's natural instincts to pounce and play with its fluttery feathers and catnip infused ball. To catch your cat's attention; the Feather Ball has a rattle on the inside. Once your cat is engaged; the real feathers mimic real air prey as you whip the wand through the air; enticing your cat to play. Once caught; the strong plastic handle and elastic wand material stands up to the pulling and tugging as your cat pounces on and interacts with the wand.PRODUCT NOTE: When the wand is wound up for storage; it measures 17.75" long. When the wand is un-wound for playtime; it measures 45" long.
