My cats "get it" but I don't--why is there braided wire inside the wand of the Teaser and and why is the wand so short, requiring full arm extension?

Mine love it, that I am not too sure, mine does the same thing I have not quite figured out to fix it. Sorry

I think its just for show the braided wire. Mine seems long enough. Did you undo the wire all the way.

Take the plastic cable end that has the double-ended grey post on the end of the cable) and thread it into the CENTER HOLE of the suction cup, continue pushing it angling it through one of the two holes on the SIDE of the center of the suction cup. Push until the post is in far enough that you can manipulate/shove the other end of the post into the opposite side hole. So each end of the double ended post will be sticking out of a hole on the side. It should stay in. Do the same for the other plastic cable and suction cup. It sounds harder than it actually is. I don't know why they didn't just have them already done but maybe it was a packing/boxing issue. My cats LOVE it, LOVE it! It is worth the effort. It is perfect for me because it doesn't mark up the window frame, like many of the other cat window seats do.

Wish I could tell you -- I would just take one to the hardware store and try to match it. Having to open the battery compartment with a screwdriver is the only complaint I had about this toy -- my cats love it and so do I. Probably the best toy I ever got them! Good luck.

By the way, my son taped a feather on the end of the wand & our cat just loves it now. Was very cautious at first & didn't really care for it much. Now she goes crazy for it!

No just the opposite. As you can see the wire are covered in a material that I would think cats could mistake for yarn.

Yes it will attach to the same wand... I tried it a couple of times with our cats and they didn't pay a whole lot of attention to it, they still enjoy the "Da Bird" especially when I put a fresh replacment on the wand for them. Also a tip for anyone using the feathered attachments for Da Bird, the kitties can tend to pull the feathers out of the base so what I have done is use my hot glue gun and put a drop of hot glue in the tip to keep the feathers seated.

I googled the wand for videos to get a better understanding of how it works and size. I would guess the diameter is close to a golf ball. I love this wand.

There is a hole at the end of the handle. Imagine the cord sticking out like a tail. Place it there.

I plugged ours into an extension cord and it seemed to work just as being plugged directly into the wall. What alternate ways to power up were you considering? Our cat really does love it and I give it my thumbs up.

Yes it is too short that os true but add pipe to the cat and it will fit if you have any other questions just feel free to ask ^-^

I was able to use my curling wand with no problem, although I am not sure of the tempurature that it goes up to cause it only has an on and off switch. I have shoulder length hair, but I had only brought mine to use with the intention of adding lenght to braid my hair. I am mixed but I have rather thin hair so it gives me a little thickness without being too much or not enough. It is not just one track it is at least nine or more I believe and the thickness is even from the weft to the ends of the hair...hope this helps!

Is he chewing on the wire, or pulling the toy? If it's the wire, you might want to encourage him to only chew on the mouse because some cats love chewing wires and you definitely don't want to encourage that. So far my cats have not frayed the wire. Hope this helps as an idea.

Honestly, I'm not sure. My cats loved it right away. Maybe take it apart and have them check out the individual parts- maybe they are scared of it because it's a bit large?

If you're talking about the crystal balls, it's braided wire. It can be shortened with a lot of work, cutting and crimping fasteners at the light source side.

The cord is wrapped with wire. You would have to have a pretty determined animal, like a rat, to chew through the wire to the cord. My cats dont bother with it, at all.

To: Doctor "K", I will look right now, so hold on. My cats are all so nutty, it is hard to tell if they are having that special "feeling" from one of their catnip toys. I ordered these because they have the rattles in them and when I throw them, I shake them first and they love that noise. Then it is like a herd of buffalo running for them. My veterinarian came to my home and told me that hands down, she has never ever seen so many cat toys. LOL From what I can see on the box and also read on the individual tag attached to each little mouse, there is no catnip in/on them.

My cat has short hair but personally, I wouldn't recommend trimming the hair: the prongs are approx 1/2" long and end up against the cats throat because of the weight. To me, it would be especially uncomfortable on bare skin even when turned off, or nowhere near the device.
