PetSafe FroliCat Chatter Cat Toy

love cat plays with is

Waste of money. I thaught it would be better than this. Even my cats not interested 😞

Easy to put together, well made but no interest from our cat in playing with it. There was some interest from her as she watched us assemble it but then, when we switched it on she just backed away and went to sleep in the other room. The bird sounds like a squeaky wheel and that, together with the mechanical whirring noise is enough to put anyone, including the cat, off!

Maybe one of the worse electronic cat toys I have seen. The bird moves up and down and that is it. My cats were scared of it. A cat toy to be successful needs to have something hidden that pops out.

The toy itself is okay if you've got nothing else of interest in your house but I think it is expensive - hence the three stars. We have my daughter's cats to stay when they go on holiday (they're 1½) and we chose this item for them but considering my grandson (who is 6) only has a few toys here I often find the cats batting his little figures around rather than playing with this. We've had cat toys in the past which maintain their interest such as ribbon on a stick for example but this one just didn't keep them going. One of the pair did come up and push it but wasn't impressed with the sound so we kept it out with no batteries in. I don't know what it is but it just wasn't for either of them.

OK, of the latest set of cat toys I've ordered this is the one that I had the most worry about and to be honest I felt it wasn't up to par compared to the others that my cats love playing with. This one is pretty dire, doesn't do much and to be honest with a loose spring for the cats to gnaw on lefft me worried that they might injure thier mouths with it. Yes it does move on the spring but overall my cats just pretty much ignored it and went for their other Petsafe toys to have fun with. All round, whilst it may satisfy some cats, mine pretty much ignored it.

This product is very well made - there's no cheapness evident at all.The problem is that the cats don't really seem to know it's a toy; the bird noise probably sounds accurate to human ears, but the feline ones aren't fooled. I don't think they recognise the canary as a bird - they think it's just an abstract yellow shape.The I don't think cats like mechanical objects, and the whirrs they make - they prefer something more related to nature, like a feather on the end of a piece of string that makes a good fluttering noise.No evident engagement with it at all.

This toy looked promising, but my cats were wholly unimpressed with it. It has a heavy base but doesn't move easily, certainly not enough to attract and hold their attention. It's easy enough to put together, though beware that batteries need to be purchased separately. Once it's switched on, it tweets most annoyingly and unrealistically - the cats didn't even seem to register that it was making a sound, but we rapidly got tired of it! We tried it out several times, but never managed to get any response at all from the cats.Disclosure: we were given a free one to try out and review, and were very glad we hadn't paid the rather steep price for it. There are better PetSafe toys out there to spend your money on, such as the FunKitty Dangli Cat Toy which has been a roaring success in this household.
