No matter what their age, cats like to play. My cat prefers to play with plastic rings from milk jugs rather than real cat toys. He will carry a plastic around in his mouth and drop it at my feet. When I throw it, he brings it back. This would go on for hours if he had his way. I keep trying to introduce new and exciting toys with the faint hope that he will play with them. I have at least two canvas bags full of barely used cat toys. But...he still goes back to the plastic rings.

One type of toy my cat does like is the cat teaser type of toy; the type with feathers attached to a pole. He destroyed the one I had bought him. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that we have to play with it together.I have discovered a wonderful teaser toy that I know he will love; it'll be his Christmas present this year.

The most popular of the teaser cat toys is Da Bird teaser cat toy from GO-CAT Feather Toys. It is currently the top selling cat toy on Amazon.com. No matter what the level of fitness or the age of the cat, none of them can resist the pull of Da Bird.


Da Bird is basically feathers attached to a fiberglass pole with braided nylon string. The human swings the pole around and causes the feathers to dance.The pole is 36 inches long; it is available as one piece or with a break-apart pole.The feathers are put together in a way that helps them to recreate the actions and movements of real birds.

While cats lose interest in most toys, cat owners have said that their cats' practically beg to play with Da Bird. Just think, instead of having bags full of cat toys that have been played with once, you can invest in one toy that will hold your cats' interest for years.

Cat owners swear that their formerly sedentary pets leap higher than ever before, they practically fly across the room while trying to catch Da Bird.They also report that their cats' beg to play with Da Bird.

Replacement Parts

GO-CAT also sells replacement feathers for Da Bird as your cat is sure to catch and chew on the feathers some of the time. They also offer a sparkle attachment, a fur attachment, and a puff-ball attachment as an alternative to feathers which adds variety to the game play. The replacement feathers are shipped in plastic tubes so there is no danger of them being damaged in transit.

Economical

Da Bird is a very economical item that will provide hours and hours of enjoyment for you and your cat. Just make sure you put it away where your cat can't reach it when play time is over or you will be buying replacement feathers sooner than you expect.

Da Bird is the Word

If you notice that your cat is bored with his toys and just lies around looking miserable, getting Da Bird might be the answer.

If you are trying to get your cat to exercise more, Da Bird is the product for you. It will get the most laid-back cat up and out of his bed and have him leaping around the room in no time.

My cat also likes this type of toy, but her favorites are plastic bottle caps. We recently sold the coat rack...I mean treadmill that used to sit in my office. When we moved it we found her secret stash of 7 or 8 bottle caps :-) She also loves ice cubes.

This looks like fun for cats, but my cats would play with anything, so I am sure they would like this too.

Thanks for the comment SweetiePie. Cats like anything that moves :)

I can't wait to see if my cat likes it. There is only one small thing...my cat is blind. But, he still enjoys playing with teasers.

One of the cats I adopted was a stray, so she would always try to escape out the door when I went to work.  I bought a hedgehog toy for dogs, but she liked it because when I threw it on the ground it would make a squeaking noise.  She would run after it and jump on it.  It was the only way I could keep her from escaping.

My housemate's cat does not like feathers, but *I* certainly like them :)

I think Da Bird is one of the most popular cat toys ever. Great choice for a hub! Here's an added tip for cat owners - keep cat toys out of reach, especially the ones like Da Bird. Try to rotate toys, so that Kitty doesn't see the same toy/s every day.

With Da Bird, keep it for interactive play sessions, try to schedule them on fixed hours (before bed time is awesome if you want to get an uninterrputed night sleep for yourself). Play for 5-15 minutes, then award your cat with a nice cat treat. That way, you're simulating both the hunting process, and the reward.

Thanks for the great advice Anne.

Are you sure your housemate's cat is really a cat, Patty? :)

Good stuff, UW. My last cat, a big maine coon named "Baxter," loved laser pointers. When he got bored with everything else, the little fast-moving red dot was something he couldn't resist.

When I had a cat she used to enjoy the feather thingy.. but she also really liked that toy that was round and had a track in it that had aball that went round and round. The ball would never come out. AND she would play with it about 3 AM during "kitty Olympics"!

I know you have some scrathing posts too ;-). My cat is a fanatic about those cardboard scratching posts that you can sprinkle catnip on. You know if your cat likes bottle caps, she/he may also like those little realistically furry mice. You cat can go slap happy with them. They're all over my house. I'm always finding them under things.

Great post, cat lover ;-)

My cat does like those realistic mice made of rabbit fur. The problem is he eats them. I end up finding the pulp around the apartment :)

Boo is still loving his Da Bird :) If he could see better I'm sure I could totally torture him with a laser pointer :)
