Interactive Cat Feather Wand Teaser with Non-toxic and Catnip for Indoor Cats

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the diameter of this mouse tumbler at its widest point — is 55mm the height or diameter?

  The listing specifies Size: 55mm, which refers to the height of the tumbler toy. The diameter is not specified but is typically 35-45mm for this style. A 55mm tall tumbler is palm-sized — appropriate for average cats but may be too small to hold a large cat's attention during vigorous batting.

• What does 'tumbler' mean for this toy — does it rock and return upright when batted?

  A tumbler toy has a weighted base that causes it to tip over when batted and then return to upright position. This self-righting motion mimics prey movement and sustains cat interest. The righting mechanism relies on the weight distribution — if dropped or hit hard, the mechanism can be disrupted if the internal weight shifts.

• Is the catnip inside this toy and what quantity — will it remain effective after a month?

  The listing mentions organic catnip inside the toy but does not specify the quantity. Catnip enclosed inside a sealed toy loses potency more slowly than exposed catnip (typically 1-3 months). Once potency fades, the tumbler can still be used as a motion toy but catnip attraction diminishes.

• Are the feathers attached to this toy a choking hazard for kittens?

  The listing mentions feathers on a sound bell catnip stick alongside this toy. Loose feathers can be pulled free and swallowed — feather quills and fibers pose a choking and intestinal blockage risk. Supervise kittens under 6 months with any feathered toy and remove feathers if they start detaching.

• The materials listed are plastic and felted wool — is the wool exterior safe if ingested in small amounts?

  Small amounts of ingested wool fiber are typically passed without issue for most cats. However, cats prone to wool-sucking (a compulsive behavior) can ingest enough to cause intestinal obstruction. If your cat has a history of wool-sucking, this toy type is not appropriate.

• Will this toy work on carpet as well as hard floors?

  Tumblers require a smooth, hard surface to tumble and right themselves effectively. On carpet, the weighted base drags and the toy tips sluggishly without righting. Hard floors (tile, wood, laminate) are necessary for the tumbler mechanism to function correctly.
