Cats Absolutely Love It! But…
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 reverse💜), and it turns off after a little while to reserve the battery life! I’ve had mine for about a week and the cats haven’t 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 it’s super safe around toddlers 🙂 Although the toy may not be safe from your toddler 🤣

My cats favorite toy
My cats absolutely love this toy! I had another brand stop working after only a few months. I pulled it out of a drawer to throw it away and they remembered it from 4 years ago. I ordered this one and it came the next day. Popped the batteries in and they went crazy for it! They even remembered how to turn it on themselves by stepping on the button. I like that it turns off automatically after 10 minutes. A little noisy but worth it for the entertainment value.

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. It’s a great toy but the wand stops spinning around. The motor still runs but that’s 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 won’t move, the motor runs but the wand doesn’t!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.

Our Cat’s Favorite Toy!!!
Our cat LOVES this, and she plays with it every single morning while she waits for her breakfast. I’ve bought at least 3 or 4 of these over the last few years. It does takes 3 AA batteries which can add up expense wise, but it’s worth every penny because our almost 5-year-old cat Mittens really looks forward to playing with it, and it makes her happy, so a WIN-WIN…haha! The only thing that would make it better, is if it was rechargeable so we could save on batteries. It only runs good on flat surfaces such as tile or hardwood floors, not carpet. This is the best brand for this interactive cat toy, and I highly recommend.

I bought this in November and have changed the batteries at least 4 times already!
I would give this product zero stars but my cats love it so much that I have to commend the makers on making a really fun product for the kitties, however, it dies all the time! I have changed the batteries at least 4 times since November. And no, it’s not my batteries. They are new Duracells. I bought this because a similar toy that we had broke. We had the old toy at least 13 years, and in that entire time I may have changed the batteries once! I bought another electronic toy around the same time as this, and I still haven’t changed the batteries on that. I know they don’t make products these days like they used to, but come on, 4 battery changes in 5 months is ridiculous! I should have returned it in the return period, but as I mentioned my cats just love it so much.🤦♀️
