I have a couple of those chaser/wand toys with feathers attached among the many toys for my two cats. The problem I've noticed with these toys is that the feathers tend to easily become loose, especially with rough play. My concern is this may cause a choking hazard or other problems if digested.
So, am I justified in my concern?

It's best to lock up the wand toys / teaser toys / feather toys when you aren't directly supervising the cats. I put them in a designated "toy drawer." I've never seen a cat injure itself by eating a feather that fell off a toy, but it's possible, and the other components of these toys aren't good for cats to swallow, either (bells, strings, etc).
