Big Sky Cats Bird and Bee Pack Refill/Attachment (Finch, Gila and Bee) - Fits Wildcat and Popular Bird and Mouse Type Wands/Poles

It's a pity I rarely leave reviews given the small fortune (literally my life's work) Amazon makes off me every year. Le sigh. Anyway. Will save eating the rich for another day. Right now though I'm showing up to give a shout out to Big Sky Cats (BSC), their cat toys, and the small group of amazing humans who make them. No I'm not affiliated with them in any way. Their cat toys are literally THAT good it would honestly be a pity to not give them their accolades and share my review with the world. They look real, feel real, and are clearly made by cat loving creatives who take pride in their work and goal in making them. I have three of my own cats, and about three months out of the year when my daughters are home from college, have their' two, too. I am also affiliated with a local rescue and foster throughout the year as well. A My inner joy largely hinges on their comfort and quality of life and and put a lot of effort (and money) into providing them with play & stimulation toys/games they deserve. They have an hour supervised outside play time in the yard, and indoor is STACKED with all the cat toys, trees, activity walls, interactive peek-a-boo games and treat mazes they could ever want. They stay largely unimpressed of course, and only two they acknowledge: the empty Amazon shipping box , and Big Sky Cat toys. Thats literally it. The latter is their absolute favorite - and so it is mine too. And by they I mean ALL of them. I think I have every critter BSC makes at this point and every one of these cats tries to establish each of them as their own. All day long they are stealing and stashing these guys from each other as if their pecking order depends on in. Its the one toy they never seem to tire playing with and always come back to. Even our most hard to impress cat will fling it around and have an absolute field day for extended periods of time. They know its a toy but it looks so dang real they actually feel like the accomplished hunter they are flinging it every which way. My oldest cat uses them as her little stuffy and has to bring one along with her every night before bed. Anyways yall just get it. I buy them as gifts and honestly you will see why for yourself. Cats are obsessed and I havent found any other toy out there that competes.

My cat loves the Big Sky cat toys. I've tried Go Cats toys and she does play with them, but there's something about the Big Sky toys that she loves. When she plays with them, she looks like her cousin wild cats: she stalks, grabs, and kicks them and tosses them around. I find it a lot of fun to attach them to a wand to play with her.

The toys from CoolCyberCats are hands-down the BEST cat toys I have purchased, from Amazon or anywhere else. My cats absolutely love wand toys, but as they've gotten older they've gotten pickier about what excites them, and they get bored with the quintessential feather/mouse toys that are sold in packs of ~10 colors for super cheap by dozens of different sellers. I stumbled upon these toys and ordered one on a whim, and I have subsequently returned to order at least 5 different iterations - the buffalo snake, deer mouse, rat pack, etc. My cats are absolutely obsessed with these and react in a way that they don't to other cat toys, I swear they think they're real! They truly look alive when attached to the wand toy, if I didn't know better I might think they're a real mouse or squirrel myself, and my cats clearly think so because they growl and hiss and play with them like they're real (which they don't do for any other toys). Even better, they are STURDY. My cats are hard players, they sprint around after the wand toy and once they've caught what's attached to the end of it, they won't let go. This has broken many cheap Amazon toys but out of all the products I've purchased from this seller, only 1 has broken so far. After it broke, I contacted the seller and he responded right away, sent me a replacement free of charge, and also sent a new product he was working on for my cats to try! They were SO happy and the replacement has held up to many hours of play. I can't speak highly enough of these products or the seller, worth every penny!

The reviews that mention shedding and coming apart are true, BUT my cat upped his already intense play style to catch these tempting lures. They provide a nice contrast to feather toys to keep playtime exciting.

I have two two-year-old, indoor cats, who great buddies but are as different as night and day. The Tuxedo enjoys a sedentary life, which just shows how different personalities can be quite naturally. As a youngster, he used to hunt the bathroom rug, dragging it all over the house and tearing out the strands. But around 18 months, he became less interested in playing, although he is in good health and chases his bonded bro around just fine. Incoming this BIRD! I put it out and wondered which cat would like it. Bro prefers shiny objects and candy wrappers to chase (like bugs). But our sleepier Tuxedo snapped up the BIRD and it has become HIS. He cannot get enough of it!! Always knows where he puts it. At 4 a.m., he gets up with my husband and brings it to him to throw and catch. When done, the cat stashes it under a bedroom door and then demands its return later when he wants to play again. He plays with The Bird, aka "The Beast", several times a day (and night). Bought a spare in case it gets lost, which would be a calamity. Interesting because the bro will sniff it, but is not engaged by it, although he is a very active hunter himself and loves to play and chase. The toy is made of real fur (which might distress some consumers), but these are CATS we are talking about. It's the most incredibly well-sewn cat toy ever made. It's been months and only lost a feather! You may disapprove of using animal fur, but we've decided that this bird caters to his cat need for hunting, and I feel less guilty about keeping him indoors. Getting him The Eagle for his birthday in August. He will just burst from sheer excitement! (envision eyes popping out!) Thank you for creating these stimulating critters!

The only toy that my cat has CONSISTENTLY been obsessed with...great quality, still holding up after months of roughhousing 😊

My Maine CoonX boy's fave toy now. I have been searching for a toy my boy will play with without getting bored in mere minutes for months. The vet wants him to lose weight (he was overweight when he came to us), but being a MC, he does have a decent caloric need because he is so big. So the most effective way to getting weight off him was getting him active. His hunting instincts are strong, but he is also smart enough to see through crappy, fakey toys and doesn't like them. He will interact with them briefly then ignore them. This, though? He immediately started zipping around, jumping after this, pouncing on it, and now won't give it back to play more. He is bunny kicking it, gnawing on it (and being real fur I'm not worried about it being bad for him). I expect him to actively ask for this like he does his rabbit fur teaser, too. Will be buying more from Big Sky.

So I didn't read the fine print in the description, that the Spider might not look like the picture. My spider did not look anything like the picture - different color, tiny short legs made of deer skin maybe. I returned it and the seller was very gracious.
