Cute idea. All three kitties not interested.
Cute but all three kitties were not interested. They are 5 years old.

Awesome toy. Update.
Awesome toy. Charlie is more active all the time and losing weight. He adores it. It excites his prey drive and then he plays with his other toys too. If you want a happy cat, get one. The blanket is to soften the tapping noise on the bare floor so the neighbors don’t hear it. Update: Original purchase Feb 2021. It finally is on its last flips. Not holding a charge anymore and it’s pretty bedraggled. Just ordered a replacement. Charlie has to attack to get it to flip flop. Flip flop is weaker in action. Which he rarely plays with it now, because it’s boring. Once the new one arrives The fish will get gutted and stuffed So after over 3 years of play time, here is the lowdown on it. The battery is like in some reviews not that long lasting as per charge. The flipping action drains the battery fairly quickly, but then the cat is worn out and sleeping. You then just recharge it. It has lasted over three years before the motor and battery are getting decrepit. I think it’s well worth the money. It still gets attacked when the battery is dead, just shorter sessions as it’s not as much fun. I have noticed in the last few months the decline in action and battery life. So, the lifespan of the toy is 3 years. You will have to plan to get a second one then. Or get two and alternate as half the wear and tear should make it last twice as long. Charlie adores it and so I am getting him a new one. This one should last him the rest of his life. Not bad for a happy senior cat.

Some Cats Like It, Some Don’t
Flippity Fish is well-constructed and sturdy; it would take a really fierce cat to destroy it. It charges pretty quickly and holds the charge a long time, especially if turned off during periods of inactivity. However, this toy doesn’t seem to be for every cat. Out of 5, I have only 1 cat who enjoys playing with it, and even then, he doesn’t play with it very often. My other 4 cats watched with interest when it was first activated. But they would not engage with it and seemed a little scared of it. It makes a loud noise which I suspect is part of what they don’t like. They love to play with things that can move, such as a toilet paper tube; otherwise, they want me to engage with them in play (which most cats probably prefer and their owners don’t realize). Younger cats may enjoy Flippity Fish; my cats are all over 7 years old, and while they zoomie, wrestle with each other and play with other types of toys with me and on their own, Flippity Fish appears to either bore them or annoy them. The price is reasonable, so if you buy it and the cat doesn’t like it, it’s not a huge waste. Cat toys can always be donated to your local animal shelters.

Fun but very noisy
I have cats that love to hug and kick things, as well as pounce on moving targets, so I thought this would be perfect. At first, both cats were scared of it because it is very loud (both the movement mechanism and thumping when it’s activated). Eventually, one of them attacked it. The sensor isn’t as sensitive as I’d hoped, and doesn’t always respond when the swat it, making them lose interest. The other thing I’ve noticed is that it doesn’t always auto shut off, just about running itself dead. I had hoped for something the cats could amuse themselves with when I was busy, but at the very least this has to be manually shut off at bedtime or I risk being woke up by the noise it makes, and I find myself having to activate it for them sometimes when it doesn’t respond to them. Hopefully the other kitty will come around to it. Overall a little subpar. And good luck inserting the catnip sachet into the tiny opening!

My cat ‘s favorite toy… until it breaks!
I just received my 4th (or 5th… or 6th) Filppity fish. My cat absolutely loves his “fishies” and even uses them as pillows— at least until they break. His most fish arrived defective and doesn’t charge properly. .i have a return label ready but may just keep it as a cat “pillow.” But not buying any more. Some previous fishies have lasted almost a year. But more recently the zippers have broken after very little use, rendering them unusable. I’m finally giving up this time.UPDATE: RETURNED. The fish stopped charging altogether after I wrote my initial review. I recd a retun label online. But, unlike most other Amazon returns, this item requires the customer to properly package their return in a shipping box with an RA label. I waited on line today at a busy UPS store just to drop it off and get a receipt. No refund has been issued yet to my Amazon account. Definitely my last purchase from this vendor!

My cat loves this very much and sometimes tosses it across the room with her paw. She gets upset when the battery dies so I am having to make sure it stays charged. Very noisy but it makes her happy.

Best cat toy ever. Picky cat, and she loves this! Well done, make more like this!
Excellent toy for the price, happy it recharges and doesn’t require batteries, soft for my cat to hook with her claws and bit, seems well made but long term durability a question, so I’ve given that feature 4 stars right now. Our cat loves that she can activate the fish herself by jumping on it or throwing it up in the air. I just recharge it every day or every other day, which takes about an hour for the light to turn off, indicating a full charge. Well designed, and larger than I expected, but good size for our Darlin’.

Don’t bother if you want something that lasts.
We had a new kitten and I thought he would find this entertaining. Of course, he loved it, but it only lasted about 2 weeks. The battery began fading quickly, and it took longer and longer to get a shorter and shorter lasting charge. Then, it just stopped charging. Two stars only because it was entertaining and engaging – until it wasn’t.

Best $20 ever spent! My kitten wrestles with this for hours! It’s durable and affordable. I wish it had a longer charge but overall this is a great Cat/Kitten toy!

Cheap nasty garbage, the use connection inside the fish broke in no time and can no longer charge it.There are laws against selling products with faulty workmanship.I demand a refund for this useless piece of rubbish – how dare you rip people off with faulty garbage like this
