SO ENTERTAINING!
June 19, 2018
My cats absolutely LOVE this toy. My only complaint is that I wish it came with a spare mouse. The cats have played so hard with this one, that I will have to pay almost as much for a replacement mouse as I did for the entire toy, etc.
Pros
  • Entertaining.
Cons
  • No spare mouse.

BEST TOY AROUND
July 25, 2016
my cats love this toy. I bought it as an add on on another website and they fight over it?!? no idea why they love it so much but it was the cheapest on this website so i bought another so they both have one. the best thing is my cat likes to eat the strings off toys so he can't break this one which makes me love it more!

Learned my lesson! Boo likes mice more than the dangly things. Other than for his preference,this is a good toy-no complaint on its construction. The right type of cat should like the Cat Catcher.

BEST TOY

My cat, Blu, loves this toy. He chases it and then when we let go of the wand, he takes it off to his corner. We have hours of fun! I hate that I waited so long to purchase this interactive joy!!!

Cat Catcher - My Cat loves
April 12, 2016
My cat loves this toy and it's not easy to get a 14 year old cat moving. She actually did a back flip going after it! Unfortunately I can't give the toy a 5 star rating because the toy broke after a couple of days.

BEST CAT TOY EVER
December 12, 2015
I HAVE PURCHASED HUNDREDS OF CAT TOYS AND THIS ONE IS PROBABLY THE BEST EVER. MY CATS GO CRAZY OVER IT. THEY WILL SIT FOR HOURS STARING AT THE DRAWER WHERE IT IS KEPT UNTIL I TAKE IT OUT AND PLAY WITH THEM.

Deceptively simple looking
September 22, 2015
The Cat Catcher is just a small mouse-like object attached to a wand, but cats go crazy for it. Many of my petsitting clients have to hide the toy in a drawer or closet whe it isn't in play. I think the attraction is in the rawhide tail, which seems to wag a bit when the toy is trailed along the floor. Do NOT let the kitty get this toy in her teeth - you'll have trouble getting it back.

Used to Be My Cat's Favorite Toy
May 25, 2015
This used to be my cat's favorite toy. Indestructible ... and he's a beast. They changed the product and now they fall apart on first few plays. When my cat spit up a few days back, we found pieces of the mouse. We bought three and all three broke immediately. Not a good toy. Not even sure it's safe.

Cats love cat catcher - glad it's cheap
March 18, 2015
My cats went crazy for this thing even though they've had another similar toy for some time. One of my girls even brings it to bed a couple nights a week. However, when I received it, the attachment had a sharp edge that would catch on carpet and furniture. I wrapped it in tape. Then, one part of the mouse got caught on something and completely unraveled into hundreds of fine, small threads. We still play happily with the rest of it.

5 stars for likability, 2 stars for quality
March 11, 2015
so my cats LOVE this toy, its their favorite ever! but sadly after only 1 - 2 weeks of normal play, the wires (right where they insert into the wand) always break. and it hasnt just happened once, it happens every time :( i keep replacing it cuz they get so much enjoyment out of it, but its getting pretty pricey. might have to try to find a new toy that is made better.

My cat went nuts
January 30, 2015
My kitty absolutely loves this toy. He meows at us to play with him and he's never done that with any of his other toys. There are only a couple of minor drawbacks. One, it didn't take him long to chew the tail off (two days after we got it). Two, the wire broke 3 weeks after purchase. Fortunately, it broke near the wand, so it was fairly easy to repair. Other than that, the toy is great. Kitty brings it to bed, carries it to every room we're in so we can play and even lays on it when we're not playing. Excellent purchase!

Great toy for exercise
December 13, 2014
This toy is excellent for getting your cats to exercise. When drug on the floor, the bobber end moves like a running mouse. The tail on the toy may not last long, but the toy will still work and is attractive to a cat that wants to play.

Best cat toy ever

One of our cat's cat-sitters introduced this toy to our cat who never liked any toy we got her, but who LOVES this. She did eventually break one of the wires, so we got her not one, but three, replacements. She sometimes catches it showing great athletic ability and I just wait until eventually she lets it drop, only to go after it again. It also makes a great gift for any cat.

I bought this because it has fishing line, my cats are brutal with toys. And they LOVED it! It's made well and fun to use.

Cats LOVE this toy
January 20, 2013
Ever see your cat smile and laugh? Do they sit by the drawer you keep their toys in, waiting for you to take one out to play? They will with this toy. There's something about how the mouse wiggles on the end of the wire that makes kitties go nuts. Get your bored (and maybe a bit chubby) cat leaping into the air with this toy. I'd never let them have it unattended though -- just take it out for 15-30 minutes a day when your relaxing and watching TV -- except that watching your kitties will be even more entertaining!

Always have on-hand!
December 4, 2012
My house has been using Cat Catcher wands for years now...we cannot be without them --- my 3 cats LOVE this toy. I have to keep extras on-hand at all times. Unfortunately, the wire breaks/frays rather quickly. We have come up with our own methods of extending the "life" of the wands...before giving it to the cats...we remove the red tip at the top and use Gorilla glue inside and on the outside. After it dries, we wrap duck tape or clear packing tape around the red tip, wire, and onto the wand. This really helps. Also, when the wire frays. We remove the wire and use fishing line instead (re-wrap with tape also). This has extended the life of the wand for months now. NOTE: be careful with the fishing line as it can get wrapped around cat legs, tails -- always supervise play with this toy. Happy Playing! =^..^=

Every cat needs one of these

This is my cat's favorite toy. This is his 2nd one. I had to buy a new mouse refill for the first one because he chewed it down to nothing. Then he chewed the rubber ends off of the wand and the wire started to unravel. He drags it around all over the place. He brings it to bed. He brings it to me when he wants me to play. I actually ordered 3 this time: one for my cat, one for a backup, and one for my friend's cat :)

Best Cat Toy ever
August 16, 2012
Both of my cats LOVE this toy...it is clever, well-made and acts like a really mouse skittering across the floor. My male cat brings the toy to us up 4 flights of stairs so that we will play with him. They used to chew through the string of other flying toys, but this one they can't chew through. I hope this toy will always be available. I have already purchased another for my daughter's cat.

Best cat toy! Period!
July 30, 2012
I admit that I was a bit skeptical looking at this toy. It does not look like much and, actually, looks kind of cheap. However..... We have a Bengal cat who is just over 1 year old and he LOVES this thing! He has boycotted all feather toys since we introduced this to him. The tail falls off pretty easily, but overall it's pretty durable. I ordered 3 extras because I know we'll use them. I definitely recommend this to anyone with an active cat.

Cannot be without this toy!
July 24, 2012
I have to keep these on-hand -- my cats cannot be without this toy -- have been buying them for years now and my cats STILL love it. The tail comes off right away and the wire will eventually break. I have begun tying a short piece of twine where the "nose" attaches for a new tail and my cats love this. I also wrap clear packing tape tightly around the tip where the wire attaches to the wand -- this seems to help keep it from breaking sooner.

Of our three cats, Rudy thinks he is a dog (maybe he was in a past life! LOL). Every evening I say to him, "Where's your toy, Rudy? Go get your toy!" and off he trots to the bedroom, carrying the mouse in his mouth, the wire and the wand trailing behind him as he faithfully brings me his toy to play with me while I watch TV. Rudy also always recover the wand from the trash after the mouse has gone on to mouse wand heaven. He can't live without this toy.

Drives my cat wild!
June 27, 2012
My cat is just over a year old and is picky with toys, and when he finds one he likes he becomes obsessed with it....til he eventually tires of it a few weeks later. This toy is STILL his obsession after 4 weeks.... He grabs the mouse and drags the entire wand around the house to wherever I am, or I wake up and find it by my pillow. The only other toy that rivaled this one was the 'feline flyer', but this one surpasses it by miles. Because it is made of wire, and the mouse is attached by a strong metal clasp, it stands up well to hard play. I also foster cats, and have stocked up in anticipation of a similar reaction by most of them.

Puff's favorite toy
April 29, 2012
I've have had cats my entire life and this toy by far has gotten the most use. My cat Puff actually carries the mouse in her mouth draging the stick behind her looking for us to play with her. I also find it in bed with us each morning. She loves it!

Loads of FUN but wire breaks easily!
April 1, 2012
My 21-month-young kitty LOVES this toy. She gets lots of exercise chasing it onto the recliner and down to the floor. However, today my second one broke after only 2½ weeks of play. The wires that are twisted together & attached in the end of the wand come apart. Then, before we know it, ALL of the wire is out. No more play. Knowing that, I bought 4 of these ... tho I cannot say I would recommend it to anyone. Wish the manufacturer would revise the toy so it would not break apart so easily. They aren't a cheap toy to keep replacing!

My cats go crazy for this toy!!! They love it so much I have to hide it when not playing with them. Since buying it, I have seen it used on Animal Planet pet training shows. The other toys made from Go Cat are just as great - my cats love them all.

This was a exellent purchase
October 28, 2011
This is my cats favorite toy, when I want to get his attention, all I need to do is to pick it up, give it a slight shake, and in no time he comes running to play. T his toy has been very helpful, to get him tired so, that I can sleep at night. He is very high energy, this gives him good exercise, to tire him out. It is well made to handle my cat dragging it around the house, in his mouth.

A great purchase!
September 30, 2011
We have 2 cats, ages 1 & 6. The six year old, who has a couple of pounds to lose, is definatley getting a workout from this toy. She runs, jumps, & just plain acts crazy to get to this mouse. Once she gets it in her mouth, it is as if she has the real thing. Her hunting instincts are evident as she tries to take off with it. The younger cat loves it too, but has to compete with the older, more experienced hunter. It is the highlight of their day! Buying another one so they each have one.

You have to buy this!

Your cat will love this toy: as a breeder, I've tried every toy in the book over many, many years and this absolutely beats 'em all. Adult cats love it, kittens love it; even geriatric kitties love it. I've bought them for every single cat I know and everyone raves. Trying to please your impossible-to-please kitty? Get a Cat Chaser and watch your feline go wild! A must-have -- believe me!

It really mimics a live mouse!

I have 5 cats ages 2 to 15 and each one of them loves this toy. They will play for hours or until I get tired. This is a wonderful interaction toy and a great exercise tool. I plan on buying Go Cat Catchers for everyone in my family that has a cat, and I will also purchase more for my cats because if you leave it unattended they will eat the tail!
