bat cat fishing rod Yes, using a wand will keep your cat safe, but it will also protect your own hand from being bitten or scratched, which you know will happen, especially playing with a kitten. Wands will keep your hands at a distance and the ones we make are collapsable to easily store away when the cat doesn't want to play. The wands we make with colorful handmade attachments can actually recreate the bugs and flying creatures the cat will find outdoors. With some of our wands, we incorporate a buzzer that gently mimics the sound of insects, so the cat will actually think he's outside in the woods fighting beasts to protect you. Our toys are all safe and made from eco-friendly materials.
