Cats just love to chase and jump to catch toys! They thoroughly enjoy playtime and often we hear how loudly our cats purr when we play with them. Much of cats' play emulates hunting techniques, and whilst teaser sticks can help to improve a cat's hunting skills, they can also satisfy this innate desire and so help reduce cats' playful hunting and therefore the number of birds and mice they bring home! 
 
Our extra long raffia tail teaser sticks are made with natural raffia which, when swished, makes a sound very similar to flapping wings! Of all the toys our Luna has played with over the years, this is by far her most favourite. She loves it so much that she has devised a method to let us know we must get it down from its hook so we play with it with her - and this is at least 4 or 5 times every day!!
 
The raffia string is very strong and sturdy, forming a long 50cm spiral, which is then followed by 50cm of loose raffia. They are tied to the 40cm long wooden stick with natural jute twine. This total length of 1.4m is ideal if your cat loves to sprint across the room after it, as you have the length you need without having to constantly bend over, so it is also good for you if you have problems with your back. You can even sit on the sofa and waggle it to-and-fro for your cat and they still love it!
 
Safety Instructions
Cats claws don't get caught up in raffia anywhere near as much as they do in other materials, but they will do anything to try to hold onto it! So we advise to never flick the raffia away too hard and always wait for your cat to release their catch before you swish it again. This will protect their nail beds from harm.
