The KONG Cat Active Twisted Boa Teaser is an interactive wand toy for cats, made for play sessions you drive yourself rather than a toy left out on the floor. A flexible plastic wand carries a twisted turkey feather boa tail that moves in unpredictable arcs when you flick it, mimicking prey and drawing out batting, leaping and chasing.

The feather boa is infused with KONG catnip, which is worth knowing both ways — around a third of cats have no response to catnip, and for those cats the toy still works on movement alone. The flexible wand gives the tail an unpredictable path that's harder for a cat to predict than a straight stick, which keeps sessions interesting for longer.

Owners use it as the tool for daily hunt-and-pounce sessions, especially with indoor cats who need the exercise. Supervision matters — shed feathers shouldn't be left around for a cat to swallow, and the toy should be put away between sessions.
