I started to put them away, but they'll find some sneaky way to get to them. I just let them have it unless its brand new. they've torn the leather tassles off of one, now the tassles are a toy they like to carry around. I got a replacement tassle for the wand. They also pulled out mylar tassles from another one, leaving the rubber tip behind on the wand. Now that rubber thing is a favorite for them to chase. I think it looks like a bug to them and they go nuts chasing that, even more than when it had tassles. ;-) Lickorish likes to bring her toys, including the wands she steals, into her 'cat cube', and then plays with it in there. The wand has leverage and she's knocked the cube over with it many times and gets the strings all wrapped around the openings. Also poked some holes in the cube. I'm not too worried as the cube only cost $8 at Walgreens, but when I had it upstairs, one kitty ended up going for a ride down the stairs in it one night.
