I can't say that they both love playing with it all the time, but it certainly gets both my kitten and old kitty's attention - they'll sit and watch the string go by if not play with it every time we turn it on. We have had no safety issues - I just am careful to stop it when the string is retracted completely inside.

My cat loves to follow a string if my husband or I am pulling it for her but she lost interest fast in this toy.

I'm always concerned about how my cat's toys will stand up to her energetic attacks on them. So far Fling-ama-String has met the test. She will spend ten or fifteen minutes analyzing the string movement before she attacks it. She will play with it for an hour or more.

They love it!

It keeps the cats busy! They come running when it gets turned on - fast speed. The string falls down in a random pattern so the cats are surprised when it does make contact. This is my second purchase; the first one lost its roller at the bottom where the elastic comes 'round. After the elastic gives out (and the string raveled) I used my own stronger elastic and leather string/trim from the fabric store as a replacement... doesn't wear out. (It's not the motor that gives out on this toy but the elastic... replace it with a stronger piece.) Make sure to use re-chargable batteries.

Makes my life easier.

By:Eviction

This is the second Fling-ama-String toy I have purchased. The first lasted for almost a year before my cat totally destroyed it. This is his favorite toy and he can literally spend hours playing with it as well as sitting and simply watching it go round and round. I no longer have to wait for him to be in the mood to play. I will buy another when he breaks this one. The Fling-ama-String toy has made my life a little bit easier.
Thank you!

My cat loves this. It intrigues her and keeps her playing time after time. I'm going to get one for my daughter's cats. I was worried that like many electronic toys, it would "get old" after awhile and she would ignore it. Not so.

My only wish is that the batteries would last longer (sigh).

My cats love this toy. Although a few love it too much, I had hoped this toy would keep them busy while I did other things but I have to monitor them with it since a few of them grab the string and hold onto it.

Lots of Fun

By:Pud

Pet:Cat

Our 12 year old tabby doesn't seem to lose interest in this toy. The other more timid cat is afraid of it, but then she is afraid of most things. The only thing I haven't figured out is the two speeds. The switch has two positions: on and off, even though it is labeled as Off, Speed 1, and Speed 2.

This toy is great. You MUST use rechargeable batteries unless you have an endless supply of them but aside from that this toy keeps my cats entertained. This is actually my second one as the first one got soo must use and abuse my cats finally killed the motor in it and yet the still played with it!! I really hope they keep this toy available for a long time…

Our cat love to play with everything, except the "Fling-ama-String Cat toy. He looked at it and walked away. We tried to coax him time after time over the period of several weeks, but he found it uninteresting and unchallenging. Save your money.

My cat's favourite toy!!!

I have bought these previously but I now find they are hard to find in the UK. I felt bad when I saw my cat sitting at the bottom of the door where her toy used to be attached....a heavy hint indeed! She is thrilled that I managed to track one down. I do not regret the international shipping costs as it keeps her very entertained!!

My 2 year old male Siamese LOVES this !!
As soon as I turn it on he is right there and ready.
On the slower speed it would stick sometimes,
but never on the high speed.
He has played for hours with this,
best cat toy ever invented.

One of those toys the cats like more than the box it came in! Out of the 3 cats that have been introduced to it, two are active in playing with it to the amusement of the cats and we humans, the third cat does some heavy looking on!

This toy is so popular with my cats that I had to order a replacement after 6 months of use! It does tend to go through batteries a bit too frequent. One suggestion: Add a timer to the toy!

Fling-ama-String Cat Toy

By:Donna

Date:July 20, 2012

fromFranklin, NC

Pet:Cat

Breed:DSH

We have five cats, no kittens. I wanted to give them something different to do that I didn't have to stand and operate. When we first hung the toy on the door, all of them were interested. In the end, only one cat still plays with it. I don't turn it on every day. Newby lays on the floor and bats it but gets bored soon. If the toy varied its game instead of being predictable, I think the cats would like it longer.
