SmartyKat Electronic Cat Toy, Blue, 0.25Kg

Brilliant, kitten loves it. Had to sit with him at first because it makes a loud whirring noise, but then he went mental for it. After a month he still likes it (not AS much, sometimes just lies next to it watching it). Very robust, dropped it a few times and cat jumps on it stopping the mechanism, but it’s still fine. Battery life average - 15 hours probably.

My cat loves this. It does get a little tangled in itself and the pointy stick falls off. Bit annoying it uses three batteries. My battery charger doesn’t like the math. But it keeps my cat Sunny entertained for sure.

Bought this for our two kittens, one of whom is Siamese and who, whilst lovely, needs constant entertainment. This was an immediate hit with her, and our other cat (who is a bit more timid) was at the very least mesmerised by it. As other reviewers have mentioned, on arrival the cover is a bit wrinkled but it doesn't seem to prevent the operation of the toy. It's not overly loud and the clutch mechanism seems to work fine - it clicks occasionally when one of the cats pins it down but it doesn't seem to do it any harm. The only downside I can see so far is that the whole thing is very lightweight, and the parts (wand, base, cover) are quite loosely fitted together. The wand just screws onto the base and after the fourth time of it coming unscrewed I was a bit miffed - but some bluetack in the thread seems to have solved that. The cover attaches with some elastic - but not very securely, and comes off trivially so if you have cats like ours, they'll pull it off in short order. It's easy to reattach, but it would be good if it was fixed a bit more firmly. And lastly - the whole base unit is light enough that it's easy to flip or (in the case of our Siamese) actually carry around the room. Which she has done now, several times. It would definitely benefit from a self-righting mechanism, because whilst this toy has saved me from needing to wave a wand toy around constantly, it's been replaced by needing to get up and flip the toy the right way up. All up, would recommend. One of the better cat toys we've bought.

The product is a nice idea and seems to be of a good quality; however, the lights on it do not work which is disappointing.

The material has been permanently deformed in the box and constantly gets tangled and the clutching mechanism is seriously loud. Get the cheaper yellow version of this instead its runs quietly, this thing isn't fit for purpose, is very annoying and will go straight in the bin... waste of money.

By far the best interactive toy I've bought. My cats are in door cats and hard to please! They usually tire of things like this after about a day but they still chase and bat this around. The good thing about this is that because the feather is attached to a ball and it all swivels and rotates, it continually moves along the floor making it erratic and more life like. I have bought other motion cat toys that are attached to stationary bases and my cats have gotten bored of them quickly because they become predictable. This is a very well thought out cat toy. Thank you SmartyKat. HIGHLY recommended.

My cat loved it on the first day but hasn’t looked at it since. Aside from what the cat thinks I was unhappy with a couple of things. The Cover scrunches up as the toy goes around so you have to straighten it out all the time. Looking at some of the other video reviews I may have got a bad one? The battery cover has a screw rather than one of the easier one’s. Definitely not worth the money.

Cats found this mesmerising and lots of fun! They're both a little older 6-7 but still loved watching the mouse fling round underneath the material shroud, the product is of very good quality and feels robust. Easy to use by pressing the top middle button to change from two speed settings, my cats prefer the fastest! You may want to coax your cat(s) into playing with it by laying some of their favourite toys around or under the device to help familiarise themselves with it.

Katten älskar den. Men den låter väldigt mycket och kvaliteten är inte speciellt bra. Den håller så länge den håller helt enkelt. Men katten är underhållen i timmar och jamar bär jag stänger av. Tre AAA batterier krävs och önskar att den hade kunde laddats upp istället.

Le mie gatte adorano SmartyKat Loco! La base risulta solida e resistente quindi il gioco non si capovolge nemmeno durante i giochi più movimentati. A distanza di un mese e mezzo dall'acquisto la bacchetta e il ciondolo di piume risultano ancora intatti. Ne ho già ordinato un secondo di scorta.

Both cats love it. I’m not sure it will last very long, it doesn’t look very sturdy. My boy doesn’t usually like toys but he won’t leave this one alone. My girl chases him off if she thinks he’s getting too close. Fun to watch them interact and chase each other and the toy around.

My cat loves this toy; he returns to it again and again. The ribbons have become shorter as he's played with it and will need to be replaced someday, I suppose, but apparently one can buy just replacement ribbons, so that's okay. -- The only drawback is the tiny tiny screw that needs to be undone when the batteries need replacement; you need the kind of small-tip screwdriver that is sold for eyeglass repair in order to unscrew it. (Fortunately I have worn glasses all my life and have a full set of tiny screwdrivers!)

O produto é bem eficaz, mas a bateria durou apenas 2 dias. Vou comprar novas, mas esperava q a bateria de fábrica durasse mais.
