By Nathan DiPietro, Inquisitive.etsy.com
Go cat fishing with your own heavy duty wand for use with cat spinner toys. A few tugs to the wand are all you need to grab your kitty's attention and get her paws playing. Tip: Opting for a strong cording from a camping store will help the wand last longer. For use with the Ring Neck Pheasant Spinner.

Materials:

acrylic or wood dowel 3/8" and 18" long
2 vinyl or electrical caps sized to fit on dowel
hex nut
medium strength string or cording
scissors
glue gun

Steps:

1. Cut hole in one cap and pull string through (figure A). Pull this string through the hex nut and make a knot. Push hex nut into cap for a snug and secure fit (figure B).
