Ethical Pet Laser Exerciser Original 2 in 1 Dog & Cat Toy

OK, it basically IS just a laser. My silly click-bait title is true, though, because: (A) One button also activates a built in flashlight, which allows this to replace the flashlight on my keychain, and (B) If my cat Herbert was writing the review, they would insist on at least three exclamation points More details: We've got four cats, each motivated by different techniques: one by food, one by pets, another by videos of birds, and finally Herbert. Herbert is motivated by *hunting play*. As a trainer, I've been searching for the right technique for Herbert, and with the "Ethical Pet Laser Exerciser" I struck a vein of pure gold.

In the past I've had difficulty motivating Herbert to learn tricks, as none of the previous toys I've tried paired a riveting fascination for my cat, and ease of use for me as a trainer. With this device I've got a tool that reliably rewards the crazy parts of Herberts brain that like chasing and pouncing, and Herberts progress in learning various tricks and lessons is coming along very quickly. I'd recommend this strongly for anyone who has a hunting motivated cat. … more

This was a Christmas gift for our cats. My friend opened it and tried to assemble it. I don’t know if he did it correctly, but he’s a pilot so I had hoped? It was passed to another friend before it was passed to me. The end part that holds the batteries in is broken with part of it stuck inside, which makes it so batteries can’t be removed or changed. It’s busted. Doesn’t work at all. Never worked. I don’t know if my friends assembled it correctly or not, but it shouldn’t have been this hard. I was okay if it didn’t work long, but I had hoped to get a little use out of it.

This is such a great toy for the cat that isn’t smarter than it. I have a very energetic 3 year old that lives for the evening time of play with this thing. Unfortunately with nightly use for an hour a night, the battery dies out quickly, but it came with an extra set of batteries, and he loves it so much I have gone and gotten more to have on hand to keep him happy.

Removed the cap to place batteries. Could not get cap back on. I even placed tiny bit of lubricant around the grooves hoping this would help. I worked almost 20 minutes until I smelled something hot. The batteries had overheated in the process of me trying to force the cap on. I removed the batteries (to prevent fire) and threw everything in the trash.

I was a little hesitant to purcjase it based on reviews saying the product arrived not working or ended up breaking early on. I've had mine for a while and it still works great, so I'm giving it 5 stars. Unfortunately my cat has absolutely 0 interest in the laser pointer lol but that isn't the product's fault. Just a heads up that the laser won't be interesting to all cats.

He loves the game of chasing the laser so he figured out that I have to have the metal thing in my hand. He will come and play with it and look at me, inviting me to use it. When I turn it on, the chasing starts. He loves it. My older cat, thinks it's insane and only swats at the kitten as he's running by. I guess that works... Haha

Cat loves as usual. Much better product than a diff I got elsewhere, which required person to be right next to cat to see the light small enuf to be any type of dot. This one from chewy is the famous bright red dot even from far away. Thank you

This item is not made very well. I would like to return it as the cover did not go back on the light after I placed the batteries in it. Never even got to use it. Cover broke right in our hands. Very disappointed as My cats love this kind of flashlight. I would not even rate it 1 star, but I had to click something.

We received this item in our initial order. It was by appearance intact. When my husband opened it to put the batteries in, the back side (hidden from view in the package) was bent. The material is very cheap and flimsy and the batteries would not load properly. We tried to straighten it, got the batteries in, and the top on, but it still will not turn on at all.

Three out of my four cats love this toy! It helps to keep them active on rainy days when they refuse to go outside and run around. I do have one cat, that I think is really a human, who doesn't play with it at all - she looks at me like "do you think I am stupid?" LOL
