While we prefer wand toys with a lure that can be swapped out for something new, the Fat Cat Tadpole Wand has such a large, well-designed lure that it might be worth supplementing your arsenal. All in all it’s hard to imagine a more useful pack of refill lures, since every lure is a blast to play with, and it includes plenty of the feathered lures that cats seem to love most.

Some wand toys use metal wire, which is easy to whip around quickly if you’re looking to excite your cat, but can also hurt if they get tangled in the wire line or snapped.

The stick extends very long so it's easy to use without getting scratched, and also, the toys clip on and off.

It's sturdy and well made, the seams are strong and even, and the snaps stay together during vigorous play.

They allow you to manipulate the toy in a way that imitates hunting and satisfies your cat’s natural urge to hunt. The feather toy part is not made very strong; one feather came right off just casting the toy and the reel handles are 1/4" long, not an actual handle.

Similarly, you should always pick up and dispose of feathers or other pieces of the lure that break off during play.

Others extend even longer than the Pet Fit for Life wand, though they are often divided into multiple telescoping components, which can make them too bendy and hard to control, or even prone to break. when the cat's stick is naturally extended, there will be a lot of scope for you to play with your cat. The Cat Caster rod extends to 29 inches to cast the long and tangle-free line, it retracts down to 17 inches for easy storage.
