Part girlfriend toy and part cat toy, the Starburst fantasy feather is fun for both. It is meant for soft tickling and light touch play and maybe a light swap with the handle. If you want to see how it's used, check out the videos on this product others have done.

The purple "grape" color isn't really that bright of a purple; it's closer to cranberry with some shades of purple thrown in. The whole thing is about 2' long or so with a little wad of colorful (turkey?) feathers at the end. I can't really tell what is holding the feathers in, maybe hot glue; they seem to be in pretty solid. At the handle, you'll see "Sportsheets" embossed. I'm not really one for light sensory play (I’m VERY ticklish), but I did enjoy using this on my feline-inclined girlfriend...until the girlfriend inclined feline came by, nabbed it, and ran off with it in her mouth.

I've only used it a couple times, but plan on using it more when I find where the cat stashed it and clean it up a little. I don’t really know how to clean it; wipe it down with Clorox wipes maybe? I’m pretty sure you can’t clean it in the shower if you get lube on it; it might ruin the feathers.Yes, you can use it for CBT...just use your imagination.

For the price and quality, I'd definitely suggest getting one or two for your collection. True, you can find similar products at the pet store or big box store in the pet aisle, but they are definitely not made with the same quality in mind. The packaging is only a little tag on the handle (exactly what you see in the picture). If you don’t want people to think too much about this toy, just tell them it’s a cat toy or feather duster and let it go.

This is still a great tickler toy!

Even with three cats around, it's only lost a couple feathers!

It's help up very well. If anything happens to this one, I'll definitely plan on getting another one.
