Introduction

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.

Parts

Step 1

Slide a crimp onto the cat toy's line.
Thread the line through the ring of the key clasp.
You should have a small loop formed at the end of the line.

Step 2

Slide the crimp down to close the loop. Make sure that the crimp covers each part of the line.
Use your crimping tool or pliers in order to secure the crimp.

Step 3

Apply super glue to any cracks visible on the feather capsule for maximum security.
Let the feather capsule piece dry entirely before proceeding to the next step.

Step 4

Use regular glue to fill the inner portion of the feather capsule.
Fill it up only halfway in order to leave enough space for feathers.

Step 5

Individually insert the quill of each feather into the capsule.
Work quickly so that the glue doesn’t dry and cause the feathers to stick in the wrong direction.
