How to Fix a Feather Cat Toy

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

This guide will outline how to fix a feather cat toy that your cat has destroyed. This can happen when your cat gets too aggressive with the feathers on the end of the string, leaving the toy unusable.

Using tools you will most likely already own, repairing the toy yourself will be cheaper than buying a new one.
