What you see is exactly what you are getting. This is an 18" flexible plastic wand with a long strip of colorful fleece attached to it. The fleece is slightly wider where it attaches to the wand and narrows down at the end to something resembling a tail. It will keep a cat entertained no doubt about it. But if you have the time, go down to the dollar store buy a kids cheap plastic wand, attach about 50 cents worth of fleece (approximately 2.5 feet) with electrical tape and you will have the exact same thing. My cat loves it and I am not going to waste my time shipping the stupid thing back.But I am willing to warn others about what a waste the thing is. Perhaps I will go into business selling these things myself, even at half the price I would still make a profit.
