TIP: When you order this you just get *1* puffball, we thought we would get three and only got 1 in the mail.

We've had the "Da Bird" for a few years now after finding it on Amazon, ordering it and discovering that it's the only wand toy the cats go bonkers for (they make feigned efforts with other wand toys).

When we originally got Da Bird, the normal feather attachment made them go bananas. After a year we got the little mouse/fuzzy-hide attachment which they liked so much more that they would actually stop playing and just sit and wait if we put the feather attachment back on.

Now that we have this fuzzy puff ball attachment, they prefer it over the little mouse attachment and again, will bat at the mouse a bit and then sit down until we put this fuzzy puff ball back on then go crazy for it again.

Definitely the current favorite of all the toys!

Nice addition for Da Bird! It tends to float more and you can do things with it that you can't with the heavier bird attachment. Cats love the variation. I switch between this, the original bird, and the sparkler to keep my cats happy and playing energetically.

My cats didn't really pay too much attention to this. They much prefer the mouse attachment or one of their other feather toys. Nothing wrong with the product in and of itself, but just not a winner in my house. Also, I wish I would have read closer that you only get ONE feather attachment.

I think I have tried out all of the Go Kat attachments for Da Bird wand. Kitty freaked out over the genuine "Da Bird" and "Fur Fun" and probably wouldn't stop playing until the toys were destroyed. "Kitty Puff" probably comes in third BUT still enticed him to play and he did not go into destructo mode. For the most intense fun try genuine "Da Bird" or "Fur Fun" (still a good toy if the clasp breaks, toss it or hide it peeking out from under a blanket) and for a longer-lasting toy try "Kitty Puff". The "Sparkler" was Kitty's least favorite but go on what you know about your cat's affinity for shiny-ribbon stuff.

My cats like this feather one much more than the mouse. Even the dogs like to play with it. I haven't tried any of the other toy attachments yet, but I like that you can change them out without having to buy a whole new toy.

DO NOT BUY THIS. The dye from the feathers will come out and stain your poor cat's mouth, legs, etc. I have bought many toys for my cats and this is the first one that dye ever came out of the toy.

My cats love the Da Bird toy, but they weren't really too thrilled with this attachment. They prefer the sparkler and the original feather attachment over it. If there is nothing else to play with, it will do, so maybe they're just spoiled, but they seemed to be waiting for me to put the other attachments back on. I'm guessing the other attachments are more exciting because of the sounds they make, while this is a rather silent one.

The puffy da bird replacement that I got has a very pretty color of royal purple. My cat definitely loves this new puffy thing after I replace it with the original one. However, my cat loves to carry the puff in her mouth after she finally catches it, and after playing with her for a while, I found that the white area around her mouth got a tint of purple!! I don't know whether the dye is safe to ingest, but I still don't want my kitty ingesting any dye. I may try soaking the puff to wash away the excess dye.

I am also disappointed that this feather puff doesn't spin like the original one (I understand it is not aerodynamic like the original one).

My four delightful cats have a few toys, but this is their absolute favorite! We named the puff "Mr. Feather" and the cats get excited when I just mention that name.

We have a bengal and a bengal mix, if anyone knows about these breeds, they play somewhat aggressively. They liked the toy, however, they broke the bird attachment and all 3 replacements within the week.
I would recommend the toy, but also recommend purchasing many replacements.
