The media could not be loaded. If you’re starting to read through these reviews, just stop, add to basket, and buy one. Yes, admittedly its a bit pricey at £19.99 for a cat toy but its brilliant and very robust. My sons kitten is 5 months old and absolutely loves toy and keeps him interested and engaged for ages at a time. We were looking for something interactive for the kitten to keep him occupied whilst my son was at work, and this little toy has certainly done the trick. Arrived the next day on Prime, in a neat little box with 2 rope tails and a USB charging cable, and with a good amount of charge before we’d even charged it up. Just screw the rope tail on to the ball, do a long press on the button to turn it on and the ball is off. THe core of the ball lights up blue, purple or yellow depending on which mode you choose it to be on. When someone is around to observe the kittens play we put it on blue which is the fastest setting and when my son is at work its switched to the yellow interactive setting. My sons 5 month kitten is very alert to noise and is very energetic and active (like they are at this age) so we find the blue setting is best. Once the ball knocks against a surface it changes direction, and chirps like a bird intermittently as it goes. The chirping is handy for re-grasping the attention of the kitten if it looses sight of the ball or it gets stuck under something temporarily. The position and tight areas this ball can get itself into and out of is amazing. His kitten played with it continuously for about an hour from it first coming out of the box…..the cutie little thing was sparked out sleeping almost straight away whilst my son was charging it up. It’s highly amusing and great fun and exercise for the kitten (especially where he’s not old enough to go outside quite just yet) and certainly stops the boredom, and its brilliantly fun for humans to watch and be entertained. Since purchasing it, the kitten has been fully engaged with it every time it’s turned on, and he’s had it for 2 weeks now. My son charges it up via his desktop PC and takes about 1hr 30 mins to fully charge. When charging its lights are red and i think, from memory the lights go green when its fully charged. This is really robust too, as our fell down a full carpeted staircase when it bounced off the landing wall, but it was absolutely fine and was darting around and chirping again as if nothing had happened. This is a brilliant cat toy, but think a fairer price for it would be between £12-£15. The toy is a big 10/10 from us and the kitten, the price point maybe needs looking at 🐈‍⬛. Hope you like the video. ITs from when we first received it and didn’t know what brilliance and how the ball could get itself out of such tight spots.UPDATE HAVING HAD ITEM JUST 21 DAYS……This has now got a fault where it won’t charge with USB. It’s been on charge for hours and hours, and it’s lifeless. Really disappointed as it’s been a brilliant cat toy. Maybe we’ve got a faulty one, and fortunately is still within the return frame window with Amazon, so have arranged return. I’ll be buying another one to replace it, and give it a second chance, and fortunately they’re now on offer at £15.99…..which is a more reasonable price for this quite honestly. Kitten now 5 months and still absolutely loves this toy 🐈‍⬛.

excellent excellent. My second toys. Have waited a while to see if this has long life as before. I has. Easy to recharge. Keeps my big boy cat inrested and active.

I will start by saying if your cat is shy/ nervous/ easily spooked etc - this is NOT the toy for them; even on the slow setting it's psychotic.If however your cat is a bruiser/ plays rough/ bores easily or, let's be realistic, is orange - this is worth every penny.It is bigger and heavier than I expected, (think size of a large satsuma/ weight of an average phone) so maybe more an adult cat toy than a kitten toy. But it charges up quickly, and operation is simple (one long hold on the power button turns it on or off/ single presses change the mode). It comes with a spare "tail" should you lose one or your cat destroys it - but the ball and tail are both very robust and hard wearing. It may well be cheaply made, but it doesn't look or feel it.In terms of "cat interest", it has erratic and varied movement patterns, along with a range of lights and sounds that - certainly my cat - found fascinating - so it's not one he really gets bored with; and in terms of "cat entertainment", it's hilarious - I think my boy's three main moods when playing with it flitted between Total Confusion, Utter Fascination, and Feral Abandon.The three modes aren't significantly different, but more "there'll be one that suits most cats":These are a slow (pink light), fast (blue light), and interactive (yellow light).The interactive is probably the most interesting i think - where it doesn't do much until touched, then it "panics" for a bit before going still again, which probably replicates hunt-play pretty accurately. The fast and slow are the same programme of dash/ stop/ vibrate/ stop/ jiggle/ stop/ dash - just one has it trundling along the floor like a confused mouse, the other, hurtling around like a furious bird, smashing into things and probably scaring the neighbours when it crashes into the wall.The fast mode however, though hilarious, combined with its weight, means it's just too aggressive and noisy for my cat... but then he does hide behind the sofa if someone knocks on the door, so...To sum up - a boisterous toy, but certainly a well made and different one, with settings to suit most cats/ keep play varied; but not one I would give to kittens or timid cats. Definitely worth the money though!
