Description

This feather fascinator will really exercise kitty's prey drive as you flick and swing it back and forth using the fishing rod handle and it twists and turns like a bird in flight! The feather toy is made by individually hand wrapping feathers onto a chenille covered pipe cleaner using super strong bonded nylon thread. I then cover the pipe cleaner base with a piece of foam covered with PVC tape and then a sleeve of fleece fabric, hand stitched into place with silk thread, to ensure that kitty's mouth and paws won't come into contact with the wire core. FInally, I attach the feather toy to the wooden fishing rod dowel using a strong woven cord via a swivel clip and some nifty knots, which I cover in duck tape to protect them. The feathers I use are very high quality pheasant feathers from a supplier in Scotland who also supplies milliners with these feathers for hats - only the best for kitty! I do recommend that you don't allow kitty to play with this toy unsupervised - the micro cord is very strong, but won't withstand those sharp kitty teeth when they're in a determined mood and the feathers won't survive prolonged chewing.

A note from the seller

Hello and welcome to my Folksy shop! My shop is closed temporarily and will reopen in the first week of November. I'm still reading and responding to messages as usual. ******************************************************************************************************************** I've been making for others since 2013 and if you'd like to see what my customers have said about my work since then (before I opened up here on Folksy), you can read more than 1,000 reviews on my web site: http://www.thecrimsonrabbit.co.uk/ (click 'Reviews' on the bar at the top of the page). In addition to the UK, I'm happy to ship most items to the US, Canada, Japan and Australia - just message me for a shipping quotation if a shipping price isn't shown against an item you're interested in. Many of the pieces I make are made to order and the shipping time is a 'worse case scenario' estimate - I will often make and send items quicker than indicated, although things do sometimes slow down at busy times. If you want something urgently, just message me and I'll confirm if I can meet your deadline. I send most of my items via Royal Mail's Tracked 48 service, unless otherwise indicated on the item's listing. I'm more active on Instagram than anywhere else: https://www.instagram.com/the_crimson_rabbit/ but you can always find me online elsewhere: my blog is here: www.thecrimsonrabbit.co.uk, my facebook page here: www.facebook.com/thecrimsonrabbitpage and my Pinterest addiction is evidenced here: http://www.pinterest.com/crimsonrabbit/ You can subscribe to my newsletter to hear about new designs, offers and giveaways! https://mailchi.mp/069210225db4/thecrimsonrabbit

I'm very happy to say that none of the cats I have served in my life have ever caught a bird, but they have all enjoyed catching the imitation birds I've made for them over the years!
