Cat's Meow Motorized Chaser Cat Toy

So to be fair, when this is working my cat LOVES it. Really appealing cat toy. But the downsides are plentiful: it takes 3 C batteries (not included, kinda expensive, not something I ordinarily keep around the house.) It's designed such that it's hard to store without the button on top being accidentally pressed. And seemingly, the motor has worn out within just a few months -- even with fresh batteries, it has slowed down to a lethargic crawl and she won't play with it anymore at that speed.

My cat absolutely loves this thing. As soon as I start walking towards it and ask him “do you wanna play?” He dashes towards it and starts planning out attacks by hiding and then jumping on it. I taped a small feather toy to the end of the moving piece to give it some spunk, because you can’t really see what’s moving without it. Not very quiet, but as long as he’s happy it doesn’t matter.

It’s supposed to have 3 speeds plus a random setting. It only has one speed and it’s really really fast. She had a Krazy Kat that she loved but it was a real piece and broke very quickly. I thought this might hold up better but, since she’s scared of it, it will just sit there unused and last forever.

My cat used this for less than 5 minutes before it just stopped working. She’s a small cat, just a kitten, and she was not playing rough with it. The only setting that would work from the time I put batteries in it is on slow, and then after five minutes that wouldn’t even work. This is a terrible product and a waste of money

First off, this toy requires C batteries that are not included which is a pain. Second, it didn’t work right out of the box. Have never been able to get it to turn on. $20 for a useless piece of plastic. Don’t buy.

My cats loved this toy until the wand kept coming out of its holder. I kept putting it back in but they would stop it from turning and it would come out again. It’s worthless. I have replaced the batteries but it seems to take a lot of juice I wouldn’t buy it again.

My cat's LOVE this thing, but unfortunately prefer to just catch and sit on the stick vs chasing it, leaving it immobile after a few seconds of spinning. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because it does have the tendency to freeze (outside of the programmed pauses (and with fresh batteries/secure battery cover)), that doesn't go away after switching settings/turning it on-off, so I have to start spinning it manually to get it going again.

I bought this on the recommendation of my best friend. She had bought the original version for her five adult cats, and they were obsessed with it. It arrived today and I put it together (you'll need 3 C batteries and a small Phillips screwdriver). I had it together in under 5 minutes. We set it on the floor and turned it on. My kitten was not sure about the movement at first so we turned it off. A couple hours later I found he was playing with the cover skirt, so I turned it on slow. He wasn't sure about it but then he realized he could play with it. And he did. 30 minutes later he was "whining" about it being off but before I could do anything, he was sacked out on his bed, fast asleep I bought this on the recommendation of my best friend.

This is a must have toy for kittens and high energy cats. … more

I wish it came with batteries (takes 3 C batteries) and I wish it was a little more sturdy (the piece that goes around under the cover is easily pulled off by the cats) but it was easy to put together and the cats freaking LOVE it. Their enjoyment is all that matters so I give it 5 stars.

I bought this for my 13 week old kitten. I got it....put it together...put batteries in...and nothing. I called Chewy...they sent out a replacement. It arrived...i put it together...put batteries in...was excited to see my kitten play...and it ran for 10 min....stopped....and now I cant get it to start again. Ive tried taking out batteries...replacing batteries...and nothing! Waste of money! Lights just flicker now....ugh!
