Cats Absolutely Love It! Butâ¦
This is definitely worth the buy; I bought two. We have a four month old kitten that has a lot of energy to get out and an eight year-old cat that needs exercise, so I got two because I knew that if the kitten was playing with it, then the cat would not. Great quality, easy to set up for immediate playtime, only needed three AA batteries, 4 settings: Slow, Med, Fast, and Random (fast with more stop and reverseð), and it turns off after a little while to reserve the battery life! Iâve had mine for about a week and the cats havenât torn up the fabric that they claw at to play. My ONLY nitpick is that the motor is a little louder than I thought it would be – slightly annoying, but taking into consideration that my husband and I live in a small house, work full-time jobs with two kids, two cats and a dog at home. We were not expecting the added noise, so take the nitpick with a grain a salt. 🙂 My 8 and 10 year old also find it entertaining to watch the cats play with this, so that naturally decreases screen time lol My 2 year old niece does well with it too so itâs super safe around toddlers 🙂 Although the toy may not be safe from your toddler ð¤£

my cat is obsessed
this is the only toy that has kept my cats interest for months. she literally plays with it every day and will sit on it until we turn it on. also very durable, she has ran at it full speed from across the house and flipped it over many times and still works great.

quality product, not for everyone
I personally liked this toy; my cat, however, did not.That being said, I would recommend this cat toy to anyone whose cat enjoys chasing after plush toys and feathers. I donated mine to the local animal shelter.

Durability
This is the only toy my 6 year old cat plays with.I have bought 6 in the last year. Itâs a great toy but the wand stops spinning around. The motor still runs but thatâs all it does.This really needs to be made to last longer as they are not cheap.I stopped at pet store and bought another one, same toy, same company. Put batteries in and it worked. Supposed to run 10 minutes and shut off. Which it did. Went to turn on an hour later and the and wonât move, the motor runs but the wand doesnât!I will not be buying this toy anymore, I can not keep buying at this price, which is sad for my cat because he really enjoys it.

Bought Two Units Both Broke Within An Hour of Use.
Cats love the toy and our two cats weigh 7 and 8lbs – we purchased two units ans both broke within a few hrs on the same day. We wish it was of better quality as cats love the toy.

My cats are OBSESSED
This video is not a good representation of how much they love this thing, but they go nuts for it! The Siamese flame point sits by it constantly waiting for me to come turn it on.I think I might modify the button so my cats can turn it on themselves. I bought this on a rec from my brother and one of his cats DID figure out how to turn it on and entertains himself with it several times a day. On that point, he recommend some rechargeable batteries to use with it.But my cats absolutely love the is thing, and I would definitely recommend it!

Cat still plays with it, 2 months later
Our adult cat jumped on this when I took it out of the box and turned it on. It takes 3 AA batteries, and has about 4 settings (slow, med, fast, random) and a blue light on top that flashes when the batteries are running low. It’s durable, as my cat has manhandled the toy underneath. The arm-toy sometimes unscrews itself, so you have to screw it back on, but that only takes a second and does not happen every time. It runs for several minutes, then shuts off automatically. It would be nice for it to be motion-sensitive to the cat, since he does get bored sometimes and walks away, and it will burn battery juice all that time. He now mostly likes to sit and watch it (like TV), but occasionally we’ll see him still POUNCE on it, and he gets really excited. Our cat is easily bored, so it’s a great toy if it can still keep him interested!

My cat is addicted
Itâs been really hard to find ways to distract my cats when Iâm working or doing chores, so I decided to give this a try. It went way better than expected and he never wants it to be off. It is a little noisy which I thought would scare him away from it, but heâs addicted. I call it his âvroom vroomâ and the second those words come out of my mouth he is screaming for me to turn it on
