If it worked, it would be a great toy – both cats were really interested. But the bird is too heavy, so it just falls to the floor and can't swing around. So that's a real shame, really disappointing.
The toy is really nice and my cat goes crazy for it. Maybe it's because my Maine Coon is big, but the rod only lasted two days: he managed to pull it off, making it impossible to fit it back into its base.
Just like with everyone else, the wire was broken off the plastic in mine too, but I mainly bought it for the different pendants because I already have the wire with the suction cup from before and it works perfectly lol
