As far as I can see, from looking at one in Pets at Home the other day, and this picture, it’s simply got what’s known as an American snap swivel attached to it. The Da Bird teaser cat toy is the Rolls Royce of feather cat toys, not only because the feather spins and moves randomly, much like a real bird, but also because the construction quality is superb. We’ve had VERY carefully supervised play sessions and it’s put away afterwards in a cupboard where she can’t get it.

To complete a cat's natural hunt, catch, kill, eat cycle, use the Purrs, Frenzy or DaBird wands and prey attachments as hunt/chase exercise toys and some real feathers for the kill instinct and cat treats for afterwards to complete the cycle.

Once the sessions are over, put away the special play therapy toys or your cats will hunt them down! It is recommended by vets as a great way for your cat to exercise and is quite possibly the most fun you'll ever have with your feline friends! Cats find this toy irresistible and you and your cat will have hours of fun with this best-selling interactive toy that mimics the motions of a live bird in flight.

The feather design really makes it cut through the air in an unpredictable pattern, which is why my cat loves it.

Only negative is that the feathers can be pulled out and we have had to remove one from her mouth before she swallowed it. Simply unhook the feathers from the swivel attachment, discard the worn feathers, and attach the replacement feathers onto the swivel.

Not that I’d have the skill to make one at home, but someone with fairly basic engineering/tinkering skills could. My kitten loves the Da Bird wand - she gets so excited when she sees me go to the drawer where I keep it!

Regular daily play therapy work will make your cat happier, more confident, help lose weight and less likely to manifest stress in unpleasant and unwanted ways. With the Flying PurrSuit or Da Bird Cat toys, let the cat follow a pattern of flight around the room long enough to get completely involved in it: with rapt attention, tensing muscles, and a little twitch of the tail.The Deer Skin is a by-product from free roaming, outdoor reared herds from the UK and are protected under British Animal Welfare Laws and The British Deer Society (BDS).
