Crazier than my crazy cats

I love when I find something that makes my cats seem less insane. Psycho clacky robot ball. Durable! Is your cat aloof, too cool for school? Get them this toy. It is super crazy- it has several different modes (yellow works best for my cats- it zigs and zags and tweets and clacks but then settles down until they engage with it) but no matter what your cat will NOt be able to ignore it. Battery lasts a good while, happy it’s rechargeable. Cleaning out the hair is necessary (assuming you don’t vacuum every day) or it’ll stop running around, but very easy, just click open the arm of the frame. Well worth the price. So fun I bought extras to give as gifts to fellow cat owners!

Great product for my small dog

My dogs’s tail doesn’t stop wagging when trying to chase it around the house. He’s a chewer but he doesn’t chew this toy. He just loves to play with it. Great how it works well on all surfaces including rugs and can go fast or slow speeds. Perfect find!

My ex-feral cat loves this!

I adopted and tamed a 5 year old cat 2 months ago. He seemed a little bored so I got him this, and he loves it! He will pounce on it or nudge it to get it going. He backs off a bit when it comes toward him but he’s not afraid of it and will go back on attack mode. He loves the tail and will pick it up by that and pull it away and drop it where he wants it. I thought he was done after 5 or 10 minutes so I picked it up and turned it off and he looked at me and made a sound like ‘why did you do that?’ so he’s playing some more.

Amending my original review

The product is still great and works as advertised. However I don’t recommend it if you have pets with long hair. The hair will get stuck between the plastic part and the actual ball ripping it out. As much as my cats enjoyed I’ll be returning it.

Almost perfect

My dogs love this so much they get upset when it has to charge. I would love an even faster version! They catch up to it too quickly. It’s the best design of this type of toy I’ve purchased. Never gets stuck in a corner or under the couch. Always finds its way out

So SO much fun!!!

I’ve been through dozens of cat toys, but this one is the most fun. It’s so much fun for me to watch (I laughed out loud all evening!) and my 2 girls are so funny. They’re fascinated and want to play with it so badly but are a little scared of it. We’ll see how long they stay interested over time. It has a selection of modes, lights up, moves unpredictably, makes sounds (but not loud ones) and even has a “tail” to chase (and a spare tail is included). This toy is so much better and less frustrating than a laser toy because they can actually touch it. It has an interactive mode (moves when touched). I love this toy! Worth every penny.

Cat is still deciding

This toy is durable and easy to charge, although it takes a while to charge it. It’s loud on hard surfaces. We like how easily it gets itself turned around and unstuck and how easy it is to clean. The cat is fascinated but also afraid of it and follows it around until it turns and comes after him. Entertains us, keeps the cat engaged. Turns off after periods of quiet. Able to turn itself on when activated by noise or vibration (not sure which.) Be sure to turn it completely off or you will hear it rolling around at random times even when the cat is nowhere near it. Vac your floors well or you’ll find the wheels clumped with hair and lint. Easy care, easy charging, easy on/off. You just have to find it.

Cats demand I order another

This thing is insane! A high energy toy, easily rechargeable. My cats beat the crap outta this thing. It does crash into everything..but it’s a ‘gentle’ crash..my Oodles kitty will position himself in its path and wait for it to run into him, then he kicks it across the room. So far the toy has held up to the abuse well..including bouncing down the stairs. I’m honestly ordering 2 more so I have one for downstairs and a spare for use while I’m recharging the others. The cats have spoken.

Great Pet toy, cat did not enjoy it

I think this is a great toy if your cat isn’t scared of some loud noises and bright lights. The sound on it is loud, but there is a way to mute it by double clicking the button. It runs back and forth a handful of times then pauses to practically have a loud seizure (shaking on the ground) and then resumes the back and forth motions. The light however is pretty bright and strobe-like. There are three modes that you can choose from which I think is neat. It is also durable as it’s been thrown across the room and hits walls and goes pretty fast on wood/vinyl floors and runs just fine on carpet. I’ve seen other reviews of dogs using it over cats and this is smaller, about a golf ball size, so it wouldn’t be suitable for bigger dogs. I just wish my cat liked it more!

OMG!! My big VERY active 4 year old LOVES this in interactive mode – Saves my hands!!

I recently adopted a 4-year old “pandemic cat” that had been living feral for 6 months. He is super sweet BUT he LOVES Playing and doesn’t have an off switch. I tried playing with him BUT he can’t seem to tell “playtime” vs snuggle or sleep time and uses his claws & teeth when I pet him if I have played with him that day. NOT super bad but claws are sharp sooooo… I thought maybe I will get him an interactive toy he can play with by himself. If I don’t play with him, his manners are wonderful & he never forgets & uses claws or teeth but he wants to play.He is big & all the pictures showed these cute little kittens or cattins & he weighs 14.2 lbs (all muscle) & he plays HARD. He chases his own tail & reaches thru his back legs, grabs his tail & does somersaults, he slides into furniture & walls & slithers under almost anything to get whatever he is chasing… all claws out! He likes chasing things.. a LOT! The 1st toy I tried just annoyed him. The 1st setting on this one was the fast setting. He was curious but not too keen… then I tried the slow setting… same thing but a bit more interest. BUT when I turned on the interactive mode he was in heaven! It will sit still until he bats it & then it will bounce & chirp. He LOVES that it will come after him & he will jump on it & “eviscerate” it with his back claws as it vibrates. Then he will pick it up by the rope & carry it around as it buzzes & squeaks. After a while he will take a break & so will the toy. It will sit quietly for an hour or so (I haven’t timed it) then it will start up again. JUST purrfect!!I let it charge overnight & it last all day long. I don’t have carpets & it goes over every bump & under everything & back out again. It is a bit noisy & is NOT for homes with delicate surfaces or tippy furniture. BUT if you have a super playful big cat give it a shot! AND don’t forget to grab it & charge it before bed or it will scare the heck out of you just as you are going to sleep. LOLIt will also get every dust ball under every piece of furniture in your home! For the 1st few days I was using a damp paper towel to get the dust “kittens” off of it every couple of hours because he would stop playing with it if it had too much fuzz on it & look at me with disgust. I wouldn’t want a mouthful of dusty cat fur either and I am not great at dust mopping under cabinets & couches… obviously! Now I don’t have to… it brings them out to me. Bonus!!1 wk UPDATE = Today I could not get it to turn off until I realized he had shifted the silicon outer shell so it was no longer over the “On/Off” button. I just opened up the flap for the usb port & squished the outer silicon shell until the hole in the cover was back in place over the USB port… now the “on/off” button is also in place. Problem solved.PRO-TIP = By the way, if you cant get the usb port cover to close. It has a lip kinda thing on it & goes in at an angle NOT straight in. That way it doesn’t pop open when they are playing with it.2 wk update = This will spoil your cat for “normal” toys. He has now become totally enamored with the toy on all speeds!WARNING!!!! Since he is a messy eater, I put a Terro liquid ant trap in the corner under a cabinet where they came in. He couldn’t get under it BUT the toy could. It knocked over the trap & got covered in the ant bait & he got it in his mouth. It is only borax in syrup BUT it still made him sick. So, I have to get help to move the cabinet, clean up the mess & seal up the entry point before I can let him play with it again. And, the ball is sort of washable. I would NOT suggest immersing the ball BUT I disconnected the rope “tail” & thoroughly washed it & used a soapy paper towel & got all the sticky liquid off the ball. AND called an animal poison center before I did any of that. Good thing he is so big. His tummy was upset for a couple of days… NOT the toys fault but figured I would mention it. This toy goes EVERYWHERE & whatever it rolls in the cat gets in its mouth.

I received it charged it, and my cat is obsessed

My situation I have seven cats and two of them have to be in rooms by themselves because one I haven’t been able to incorporate him with any of my other groups. The other one he was neutered too late in life and so if there’s another cat around he will spray and even though it’s just urine if you don’t catch it it’s crazy hard to clean. Anyway he’s the one I first turned it on and let him play with and especially since he’s alone I always worried about him becoming bored and not having a good quality of life. Although his room is like I call it the tree house because it’s a room full of windows under a tree and so he feels like he’s outside and he seems to love his room. But now with this toy OMG best purchase bar none that I’ve made for my cat. So his bedroom is right above my bedroom and I even tried my noise maker cuz it’s a hardwood floor up there and I mean this thing is loud. So I’m going to have to put it in a drawer at night because he woke me up at 7:00 a.m. playing with it. And my noise maker will not drown it out it’s that loud I mean it’s he plays with it Non-Stop. I cannot express enough how awesome this toy is. So I ordered another one for my other cat who he’s by himself at this time too. I highly recommend it

Best Cat Toy … But There Is Room For Improvement

This thing is tons of fun. We love to watch our cats race around to watch it from a distance. The battery life is great and it almost never gets stuck or lost.Well … the main robot part doesn’t get lost. The little red tails on the other hand do get lost very easily. It comes with an extra one, but we have already lost both tails. It would be nice if there were a way to order more, but I have not found one.The cats love it but the thing is so quick and crashes into things with such force that they are kind of intimidated by it sometimes. Even our fearless kitten has to work up the courage to approach it. It might be less annoying and intimidating if the main body was more rubbery and less hard, so that it made a more organic noise when it crashed into things.Overall though, it is probably the best value for a robot cat toy that you are going to find. And they are entertained by it. I think they might even miss it when it’s charging. I’ve caught them sniffing around the area we let it run, maybe looking for it.

More fun than a barrel of space monkeys!

My cat loves, loves, loves this toy! She’ll play with it for hours on and off. At first she was a bit afraid of it but now she asks for it to come out and play every night. I keep it charging during the day but at night, her most active playtime, she’s ready to roll. The toy will “rest” for awhile if not actively being played with, but will then come back to life and shoot out of it’s hiding place, it’s hilarious and sometimes even scares me. The toy is very sturdy and looks to be pretty indestructible, even for my rather aggressive cat. Five stars all the way!p.s. I had to buy another one because my cat chewed through the charging cord in an attempt to get it to come out and play. Now I can have a backup so when one runs out, the other is ready to go. Keep charging cords off the floor to be safe.

This did not work for my cat.

This did not work for my cat. She is alone a lot and I hoped it would give her exercise and company. She was horrified that it “chased” her when it was returning to her. It didn’t help that it was on tile floor and it made a loud clicking noise as it rolled. I hoped she would get used to it but she did not. Also, it quit working after a couple of months. I am sure If I wanted to return it I could.I gave it a 4 star because my daughter has one for her cat in a small apartment and her cat loves it! She has had it for a long time and is very pleased with it.

The cats like this one

Over the years I have purchased many cat toys. It can get costly trying to entertain kitty. Some toys they walk right by and pay no notice to. However, this ball is a winner with all of the cats. Day after day I start it up and they never seem to get bored. A great feature of the ball is that it is rechargeable and no batteries are required. One of my cats caught the ball and threw it in his wet food dish. For anyone that knows cats this a positive thing for the cat. He thinks he’s hunted and caught his meal. But for me, I had to take it out of the wet food to clean it. Yuck. Worried about the difficulty in washing it I was pleasantly surprised, and pleased, that it allowed me to take it apart and clean it thoroughly with no harm to the electronics of the ball.So for me, overall, this toy ball gets a 10+++++ and I think my cats would agree. Worth the cost to purchase it.

Outlasted the 13 week old kitten!

Plugged it in last night to charge. Got it out this morning so we could get chores done! The ball has fast, slow and pause modes that keep repeating. It’s been moving around the wood floor for 1 hour 45 min and the kitten was focused on it this entire time! The kitten has fallen asleep and the ball is still moving! WINWorth the money!

2 of my 3 cats love it

I like that this is rechargeable without a battery change needed. Two of my three cats like chasing this. It rarely gets caught in a place it can’t get out of. I like that it has flashing lights to get their attention. It also makes a little squeaking sound sometimes. Other times it will just sits still and wait for them to tap it and then it’ll start up again.

Good while it lasted

Fun little toy. As it turned out, my dog was more interested in it than the cat and he broke it almost immediately. His tooth busted the little power button so we couldn’t turn it off or change the setting. He still plays with it.

This thing is alive!

Mr. Jones does not play much with cat toys. HE usually lays on his side and, maybe, bats at them once or twice. It started that way with this toy. Then the ball seemed to come alive. It whirled around in a circle and zoomed straight at him. Then it changed direction and chased my 97 year old mother. Then it stopped. Mr. Jones walked up to it and sniffed. Then it suddenly started again and the chase was on. He chased, batted and ran around this toy through 6 rooms and most of the night. I finally took it to recharge, and in the morning, he was looking for it. This is the best cat toy ever!

Best 5 minutes

Mr. Picky doesn’t usually like chase toys. However, this one with the bird chirp and the wiggle string caught his eye, and he went after it pardon the pun like a cat after a mouse. My only problem was while I went to get the camera to document this Momentous occasion, the chirping stopped,and I have no idea where the toy is. I pulled out sofas and cleaned all the heinous dust behind them, but to no avail. I would recommend this toy, but would asked that they put some kind of tracking feature in it that lasts longer than five minutes.

Cat toy

This was easy to charge up and then you just push the button to turn it on. I know there are various settings. It does roll around and bumps into things and goes on the carpet and back on the wood floor. It does get my cat’s attention. They don’t really run after it they kind of wait for it to come near them. I think they like it but they are a little afraid of it. It lights up so I like to use it at night when I can turn the lights off and they can watch it. I am glad I bought it

One wasn’t enough

My cat loves this thing. After charging it up fully, he played with this thing for a few hours straight. i thought he had to be tired by now so i turned it off. he looked at me like i lost my mind. When it finally needed to be charged again (battery life is pretty impressive) he tried playing with it while it was charging, then just laid next to it waiting for it to do something. i ordered a second one that day. Nearly a month later, one is always on the charger and the other is rolling around while he happily chases it. Highly recommend

The only thing that keeps our 9 month old kitten entertained

We adopted a kitten a few months ago after years of only having senior cats, and I had completely forgotten how energetic little ones can be! And how much trouble they can get into when bored! Our little guy seems to find new ways to be destructive or get himself into perilous situations daily if we don’t keep him entertained. We have gotten him every toy under the sun in our never ending quest to keep him busy. We play with him for long stretches every day and it is just never enough! This ball is the ONLY thing that can keep his attention for hours! He absolutely loves it and will endlessly follow it around the apartment. It’s been so helpful that we’re thinking about buying another one to use when this one is charging! If you have a super energetic cat, don’t even hesitate, just get it. It will help so much!

My Cat freaked out! But then got curious.

My cat was overwhelmed at first but her curiosity got the best of her. It does go over every square inch of your house & collects hair & lint but I put it in a box to limit its range. Less clean up from an unswepted floor. It not for cat owners who has ADHD. I sent one to my friend.. the cats liked it but she freaked out & will not turn it on? Lol

I was extremely impressed.

When I ordered, figured it would be ok but I was extremely impressed with the unit.My cats are not too crazy about it. ( I have an odd cat).The unit has a lot of power to go over carpet.Does a lot of maneuvers. not just straight forward or backwards.Battery lasts quit a while.Even if my cat is not crazy about it, I am very impressed with the motor power, battery life and the toys movements.Even if ball goes under couch or tv stand, it seems to find its way back out.LOL, works great at getting fuzzer bunnies out.Wheel is easy to remove hair and fuzz. After a few days, it cleaned under couch and tv stand.

It moves fast!

It is as described. My cat mainly watches it so far, but he follows it around and that is more exercise than he has been getting, so I’m happy. The grandsons enjoy it very much as well, and fetch it for me when it ENTHUSIASTICALLY bounces down the stairs. There was a problem with the clear plastic pieces that connect the strings to the ball, but they replaced the whole ball right away, so that was really nice service.

Absolute best cat toy!

This is the absolute best cat toy ever! I have a cat that I have purchased many, many toys for as well as trying to provide him with everyday household items that might keep him busy. Nothing worked until I bought this. He loves it. It wears him out which I am grateful for.If you have an energetic and rambunctious pet that needs something to hold their attention, then look no further. This is the toy for your pet.

Entertaining for hours!!

My 6 month old kitten LOVES this toy! It zips around, constantly turning, stopping only to shake and chirp before zooming off again. Frankie played with it for hours, never growing tired of it, even coming to fetch me if it turned off so I could tap it to get it running again. Highly recommend for high energy kitties that want to chase.

Fantastic toy!

My cats absolutely loved this toy for the half of day they had it. I have high carpet and it had no issues moving at normal speed on it. Cats were entertained for hours and then it disappeared. I have looked under every piece of furniture I own…4 times now and can’t find this thing. Needs Bluetooth so I can find it with my phone. lol. Guess I’ll be ordering another one.

Hours of active play

My two cats are brothers and they LOVE this toy! They track where I store it and try to open cupboards and doors to get to it. When it’s running around, they continue to hunt it, tap it, sit on it, etc. It’s fun to watch and very stimulating for them. Battery lasts a long time on one charge.
