Important information
The Fling-ama-String Cat Toy hangs on any standard door knob. It is battery-operated and can run for hours. A long string is sewn to a soft, flat elastic "conveyor belt" which constantly rotates to bring the string out and then back in. Even if the string is caught, the string will automatically begin to rotate again after it has been released! The toy has 2 speeds to satisfy the frisky or faint feline. The Fling-ama-String was a "Best New Products Showcase winner" at the Global Pet Expo. Takes three AA batteries (not included).

Customers are mixed about the quality of the pet supplies. Some mention it's an excellent toy that is worth the money, while others say that it literally lasted 2 days before breaking. The elastic is incredibly hardy, but when a cat non-stop pulls, it needs to be better made.

She cannot get enough of this toy. I would give it 10 stars if I could. I am truly amazed by how sturdy it is. She has not broken it in a month of play. We do reattach the belt quite a bit. That's fine with us, it's easy to do.
Sophie has started attacking the FlingamaString when it is off. She cries for us to turn it on. She has never been interested in any toy for more than a day or two. Highly recommend!
I have two requests for the genius who designed this (seriously, every day you are going to ask yourself, why didn't I think of that?). One, please make a rechargeable version. We have already gone through two sets of batteries! And two, please make it remote controlled. The number of times I have to get up to turn it on and off everyday is crazy! (I'm really not complaining.)
There is the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Here is a video of the product in use by our cats: https://youtu.be/ToaswG2PeZY This was on the first day of use. They were very interested. One of our cats, the orange/buff colored one rarely likes to play with the other two. So I believe this product is great. She keeps on going to that door and asking for more play time with it. I am very happy about this.
The Good:
It does great work grabbing the attention of cats
The varying speeds are great
The extra "anchor" with the elastic strap to go around the door is very VERY necessary
The Bad:
This does require owner's attention. Do not think that you can leave your cats alone with it on. They could hurt themselves or their paws. I have noticed a couple times my cats will put their paws on the belt itself.
Seems to suck the life out of batteries. Get rechargeable ones so that it is more cost effective (Rechargeables will cost just about as much as this device.
The motor does seem "strained" at times and can sometimes make clicking sounds. Not sure if that is the motor or the belt.
The Ugly:
My cats will catch the string, which is great. But the worst part is they will PULL on it. The motor or belt will make a high pitch screeching sound like nails on the chalkboard. I realize this may not be fixable by the manufacturers, but that is definitely something to consider. This thing is NOT quiet but that hasn't deterred our cats.
Just remember that our cats our a little bit more aggressive than some others. Also, I gave this item 4 stars. I do not have much hope that it will last for a whole year, with that said the price is optimal for what you get. It got one of the cats, who doesn't play much, to play and ask for more fun. I definitely would recommend this item again. If they would get rid of the screeching sound from the motor I think I would've given this product a shining 5 star review.
Thanks Moody Pet for getting one of our older cats to play again!

Would feel better knowing there was a way to buy a replacement conveyor/string thing - when it eventually breaks it'll be another £20+. I guess it's worth it though as it's the only toy he will play with.
My other cat is not interested as he prefers toy mice to kill. :)
