Hexbug Nano Robotic Cat Toy, Color Varies

This is a pretty unique little toy, at least in my experience. The cat wasn't sure what to make of it at first. She tried to ignore it but couldn't. We got it out again yesterday and got some rather comical videos of her trying to figure out how to deal with it. It really does move and sound like a bug running over the floor, which is hilarious in itself. It's small enough for the cat to pick up and toss around in the air, the little "tail" gives her a "handle" for throwing it, but we also found it's best as in interactive type toy. It doesn't move well on carpet, but when it does it's erratic, but sometimes being there to re-direct it or set it on a chair or something gave the cat some better This is a pretty unique little toy, at least in my experience.

My only concern is that it does have a small battery, which at least seems pretty well-contained, but could be a problem, and overall it appears flimsy and might not last. Meanwhile, the cat (and us) have been having a lot of fun. … more

Okay, this is one of the few robotic toys that has actually entertained both my older cat and kitten. It’s kinda noisy because it vibrates to create the skitter motions. It’s kinda nice because you can hear where it went when it disappears under furniture. If your desperate to keep your cats from bombing zoom videos, this helps! Only complaint: I received it on 4/13 and 2 weeks later.. it’s dead with no replaceable battery option. My kitten still plays with it but she stares sadly at me like I can magically make it work again. I am having a hard time justifying buying another one. But If I do, I will be more careful to turn it off and put away when she’s not 100% engaged with chasing it.

My cat loves this toy, but it is tiny! I've had to rescue "the bug" from being trapped under the oven, fridge (this rescue involved pulling the fridge out and taking off the back panel), and washing machine. My cat stares, sadly, at whichever appliance the toy is stuck under now until I fish it out, then gets all excited when I give it back to him. Cats definitely need supervision when playing with this, but he loves it so I can't complain too much.

My 2 year old hyper cat absolutely loves it. He's not big into toys like the Circuit Toy or the Tower of Tracks, but he loves chasing wand toys and hunting bugs around the apartment, and this toy manages to keep him entertained. The movements of this toy are pretty bug-like, and it doesn't just move around in circles. 4 stars because the battery runs out pretty quickly. But I think it's still worth it.

My cat was following it around for a short time then became uninterested. The next time I turned it on, I think when it bumped into her the vibration of it scared her a bit. She doesn’t know what to make of it. Now it just goes in circles where as it went all around the first two times.

Bought it on a whim. This is the only toy that continues to entertain my kitten the entire time it is on. It moves on short rugs when placed on its side and very easily around hardwood floors. The perfect toy for any curious kitten. I might suggest waiting until the cat is okay with some noise as it's mobility allows for it to get stopped in corners or against items and can make some sudden noises. (not as bad as a lot of those loud motorized toys). Easy to replace the batteries, Suprisingly easy to find around the house. Kitten loves it, surprise the kitten by puting it on a relatively flat track every once in a while with a ball. Totally worth the price and price of spare batteries.

My cat loves anything that lets her stalk and pounce, and this was no exception. It keeps her attention for a long time (20 minutes or so) and she'll attack it even when it's off. Sometimes I have to fish it out of a closet for her because it's crawled under the door and can't find its way out, but for the most part she's able to get it moving again when it gets stuck on a heating vent or between furniture.

My cat loves this thing! It ends up running around in circles so when it goes behind objects (plants) it drives her crazy. Just don’t play with it near anything it can go under - it went under our oven and was rattling around very loudly until I could get it out.

I bought this toy for my kitty who's a little behind the curve as far as playing goes. She never seems to get into toys, no matter what I try. I've had the most success with this one. I think she needs the interaction that this toy provides. And it keeps her away from the food bowl!! I would recommend for those tough kitties.

Our cat is obsessed with this toy, we have purchased over 7 of them so far because she wears them out from playing too much. They are a great interactive toy for your cat to play with. I would suggest staying in the room when they are playing because she has thrown it on countertops and in our cabinets.
