The bar is very light, but stable, comfortable to hold in your hand and there is a small silver bells attached to it, in order to quickly attract the attention of cats per se. The bells and beads are moved along the glistening rod and through the thin metal rod, which connects the handle to the mop, the bar is very mobile. My cats can as well play with it extensively, even if they hold the mop with the claws. The zaTeazer reaping the full attention of my cats. The purchase was worth it!
