Questions & Answers

3 Customer Questions

How do you turn the fish on/off?

Answer by Chewy • Oct 27, 2025
To turn it on, simply place the fish into the water bowl, it will begin swimming automatically once in the water. To turn it off, remove the fish from the water and allow it to stop swimming; there is no explicit “off” switch.

Can the water splash out as the cat plays with this toy?

Answer by Chewy • Oct 21, 2025
Water may splash out when filled with water, and it is being played with.

Can I buy extra fish?

Answer by Chewy • Oct 07, 2025
At this time, we do not carry additional fish.

Would be perfect for water loving cats!

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.

Glorified Water Bowl

It's okay. Neat idea, but my cat couldn't care less about it. He does drink from it sometimes if he doesn't feel like going upstairs to his water fountain. The turtle toy just bobs on the water (no motor), while the motorized fish loudly clicks and jerks its way over to the side of the bowl where it then just circles forever. You can't leave the fish in there unless you want to listen to the incessant clicking (it has no off switch), which means taking it out and leaving it on a counter somewhere.

I thought it was a cute cat toy. There is a blinking swimming fish and a floating turtle and a cute little fishbowl that you fill 1/2 way with water and float the fish and turtle. I have 5 cats and none of them spent more then 5 minutes scoping it out. They were afraid of it. I set it on the floor no bites and then I set on a table out of evertday traffic. Hoping that they would play with it where they could have some privacy. Still no bites. I tried putting it in the bathtub with the curtain1/2 closed. They heard it but still no bites. If I were a cat I would play with it.

I have a cat that loves to play in the water fountain

My cats mostly sat from afar and watched the mechanical fish wiggle in a circle. My tuxedo who loves to play in the water fountain would poke at the floating turtle

My cats mostly sat from afar and watched the mechanical fish wiggle in a circle. My tuxedo who loves to play in the water fountain would poke at the floating turtle but eventually, they were only interested in drinking the water from the bowl instead of the toys. I kind of wasted my money on this one but it was worth a try.

Cats and water

If your kitties like water this is a good toy for them. My one kitty loves to watch the fish swim around and sometimes poke it with his paw. The turtle just floats

If your kitties like water this is a good toy for them. My one kitty loves to watch the fish swim around and sometimes poke it with his paw. The turtle just floats around my one cat likes to try and scoop it out of the fish bowl. Make sure you place it where water splashing is not a problem or put down towels.also makes a good water dish. My cats like it a lot.

My cat drank the water right out of the bowl

Fluffy was mesmerized by the moving fish. Chase started drinking the water from the bowl. I got it for Fluffy because he’s one of those rare cats who likes playing

Fluffy was mesmerized by the moving fish. Chase started drinking the water from the bowl. I got it for Fluffy because he’s one of those rare cats who likes playing in water but we always discouraged it due to him flooding the kitchen. As long as the water level doesn’t rise above the fill line in the bowl, spillage is minimal. I recommend using this product on a hard surface though, with a non-slip mat to prevent the bowl from sliding. Nowhere does it state how the bowl should be cleaned, which would have been very helpful. I don’t want to stick it in the dishwasher only to find it non-dishwasher safe

This fish bowl sounds great in theory but in reality my cats could care less about it other than just drinking the water. There's only one fish that swims and it doesn't really even do that long enough or loud enough to catch anyone's attention. Another Goodwill gift I will be giving.

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

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!
