Smart Interactive Cat Toy, Automatic Moving Bouncing Rolling Ball for Indoor Cat Kitten, Peppy Pet Ball with Lights and Bell, Grey

I was a bit worried that this was going to be a waste of money, but I'm very glad I purchased. My cats were a little confused by it for the first few seconds, but then they were very excited and had a blast with it. However, if your cats are fairly skittish, they may be frightened by this. You really do need a non-carpeted surface for this to work well, and that does mean it can be fairly noisy when bouncing around. I definitely recommend turning it off before you go to sleep. It's also best with some slight supervision, just because it can roll under furniture or get kind of stuck by cables on the floor. It does try to free itself, but sometimes it can roll itself into a really weird spot that it's difficult to get out of. It comes with an attachable bell, but it's basically useless. First, the bell is on a little loop that you have to get around a hook that's under the flap in the ball. I have fairly average sized fingers, but it was nearly impossible to get the loop on the hook in such a tight space. Second, the bell hangs out of the flap once attached, so it is just dangling off the side of the ball by a small loop. Maybe not everyone has as problematic cats as I do, but I am certain that after a while mine would have chewed through the string and gotten the bell off, and it's small enough to be a choking hazard. Finally, the bell just messes up the functionality of the ball because it impairs its motion. The toy is still great, just don't use the bell.

I got this ball about a month ago. Since that time my cat has played with it twice daily and it is still going strong. He plays with it for about 20 minutes at which point he has begin to lose interest. If you are smart you will put the ball away before he loses interest. It can become lost in hidden corners and you have to crawl around on the floor with a flashlight looking for it. Eventually you will discover the ball's favorite hiding spots and the chore becomes easier. It has a nice "help me" feature. It will begin vibrating and making noise when it has been forgotten long enough. This does seem pricey, especially given that there seem to be cheaper versions of what appears to be the same toy. But cheaper is not always better. The battery is enough for the 20 minute play sessions. In between session it is on the charger. This is a great toy to keep a cat busy and to give him some exercise while you sit back and watch the chase.

This is a cool toy. It's probably best suited for kittens. My cat, Magic, hates it. He is more than eight human years old, and this little ball scares him to death. It runs around the floor like one of those little round vacuum cleaners, all by itself, literally running wherever it can, bumping into things, going down the stairs, getting stuck under the dresser and finding its way out all by itself. It's crazy to watch. You can actually see it "thinking" when it gets stuck, and mostly figures out how to get itself unstuck. The technology behind this thing probably justifies the expense for a cat toy for a younger cat. It's a ton of fun to play with (as a human). If Magic was five years younger, I'd bet he would love it. He's just too timid and too old to be interested in chasing around a little light-up ball going at warp speed... When it bumped into his food and water dispensers, he was clearly upset about it. One big negative. The battery really should be upgraded. I get that the different lights flashing and the constant, crazy movement sucks battery life, but this thing should last much longer than it does. Expect an hour+ of full-on "go" mode, but then after that, you're going to have to recharge it. It was a bit of a disappointment for me and Magic, but maybe a kitten would be best suited for this item. I'm giving mine to my son, who has younger cats. I think they'll like it.

Came in a cute small compact box. Just the right size for my kitty. It did feel like it would break if you dropped it though, but if you use it as instructed it shouldn't break. You'll get an instructions manual with a bell attachment and charging cord. The charging port is securely hidden, which I love. Your cat will nearly be incapable of prying it open accidentally. Moving onto the coated exterior. I was disappointed that the exterior was more like soft velvet rather than a felt like material that would be easier for my kitty to grip when playing. It just rolls away whenever she paws at it. The ball only rolls in a linear line, which caught me off guard. I thought it would change it's direction mid journey, which was a disappointment. I found out that it doesn't work on carpet and works well on more solid surfaces, which was unexpected. But that's okay, I thought I could work with it. Nope. Nope. Nope. I tried switching the modes, but could only get 1 mode to work (as far as I can tell). It would get stuck and take forever to free itself from a corner. Because it only rolls on the clear plastic surface (the line that divides the velvet halves), it sometimes gets stuck in one spot because it doesn't have enough traction with the ground. I believe the ball can tell if your pet is hitting it as it turned red and started spinning aggressively when my kitty wacked it. Not sure why it was made to react like that, but it scared her instead of being an appealing toy. Sadly this is not what I'm looking for.

A mi gata le encanta, estoy muy contenta de que mi gata se lo pase bien con su nuevo juguete!!

Great little toy. Very impressive but expensive. Wish it was bit bigger for my cat.

La mia gatta impazzisce nel vero senso della parole,ama questa linea di giochi interattivi,e li consiglio vivamente, io li ho comprati praticamente tutti,e la mia gatta ogni volta apprezza veramente tanto fino a consumarli totalmente

Cats love it, but iet gets lost as it does not turn around as well as advertised

I would request the seller to replace the ball for me. It is not working normally or properly after 3 weeks from using it. This is not acceptable....
