Catstages Meow-Smerizing Fish Bowl Cat Toy

Decided to give this as a Christmas present for my 5 cats. I figured at least one of them would like it, as usually they are pretty picky with toys and I wasn’t sure how they would react to the water component. It’s very easy to set up, you basically just fill it with water and add the included toys. The swimming/flashing fish worked right away, so I was very pleased as I had read that other peoples’ did not work. The turtle is static but does float. My youngest cat was the most interested in this toy, and played with it for several minutes. My other cats seemed to enjoy watching the swimming fish as well, although they did not physically engage with the toy. I also let my axolotl try playing with the swimming fish, and he really seemed to like swimming after it! All in all I think this has the potential to be a good toy for cats who like water, my cats just don’t like water very much.

My two cats really seem to like interacting with this toy. They were cautious at first, but they seem to be warming up to it. My boy Deedle Dee shows more interest than my Charlie girl. Wet paws are cause for excitement all around! Including me!

that caused Lui to lose interest. I put the bowl aside to dry as well as the fish. After a full 24 hours the fish started moving on the counter. I filled the bowl and dropped the now moving fish in, it swam for about a full minute then stopped. So rinse dry and voila the fish started moving again after it sat there overnight. There is no on/off button, so I let it flap around, it stopped after about an hour. I figured the battery died and left it there. The next day it started moving again. No reason, no movement nearby to trigger it. It kept moving for about 12 hours and stopped. It has been still now for almost 24 hours but I expect it will move again, just not in the water. It gets 2 stars because the movement on the counter gets Lui's attention and we have a bowl to use as a water dish.
