Hexbug Nano Robotic Cat Toy, Color Varies

This toy was amazing while it lasted. Battery was total garbage lasted about 4 total hours but while it was alive boy did my cat love it. He'd chase it, knock it around and even carry it around the house. I have not tired to change the battery yet because he lost it somewhere in our move. Going to buy him another one because of how much he loved it. My other two cats did not like it at all but they're not very active. One only likes to play fetch once in a blue moon and the other only ever chases the laser pointer in circles.

My cat is very active, curious, and loves to play. I thought she would love this. I knew going into it that others said to keep an eye on it when it's on as it can get lost easily (ps, in case you're wondering, it does not work on carpet at all). I knew that others said it dies fast and that the battery replacement costs as much as the toy itself. I still went for it because it's cheap and seemed interesting. Guys, my cat is terrified of this toy. It's a waste of money no matter how you try to justify it. Just buy something else and save yourself the disappointment.

It moves around just like a real bug and is very tempting for the cat. However, there are two issues with it, in my opinion. First, it does not move on carpeting, only smooth flooring, which is not mentioned on the web site. Second, it is so small that it goes under some doors and most importantly, large appliances. Since the only floors that do not have carpet in my home are the bathroom and kitchen, the toy went under the stove and has apparently gotten caught, I can't get it out. I really feel bad, Buddy kept sitting in front of the stove until the battery apparently died. I am unable to retrieve the toy.

First my cat just stared at this thing for the longest time. I tied a piece of yarn to it and she eventually started playing with it. She’s almost 16 so she’s sometimes not easy to please but she seems to like this. It’s funny the thing wiggles out of places, it basically runs in circles. My cat finds it amusing a few minutes at a time which for her isn’t bad

My cat gets bored easily and meows at me until I get up and play with him. When I turn this toy on it captures his attention and quiets him down for a bit. He wearily follows it around and tries to paw at it. It's annoying because it goes under hard to reach places, or it'll flip over, or get stuck in a corner. So every few minutes I'll have to get up to set it back on track. The noise is a subtle vibration. It gives my cat some entertainment, but it's annoying because I have to supervise this toy closely and constantly have to get it unstuck.

My cat loved this toy immediately but straight out of the package it's stuck going in circles, doesn't move very fast, and gets knocked over easily. One day in and she's beginning to get a bit bored but I'll give it another shot for one she can chase properly! It's also worth noting this does not work on carpet at all!

One of my cats terrorizers others when he is bored. The bug solved it. I restrict use (every 3 days at most, and not more than 10-15 minutes)to save battery as well as promote novel interest. Must hide it inside china cabinet. When Mr Bored acts out, I mention getting ‘the Bug”— he runs to the china cabinet and can hardly wait. (Yep— cats can learn words and communicate). He likes taking it to the empty box from case of canned cat food, and corralling it there. Other cats are a little less interested— likely as they don’t want to engage with the bug’s apparent ‘owner’ at the cardboard OK corral.

The Hexbug entertains my two felines but I had to establish boundaries because the toy is smaller than I expected and it wanders. The first time out of the box I let this toy run unsupervised and it managed to get behind my very large entertainment center. (I traced it's soft vibrating sound.) Fortunately, I was able to retrieve it (along with a huge dust bunny) using my expandable Swifter wand. Since then I let the toy run inside a very large shallow box to contain it's excursions.

Not a good fit for our home, but the cat is intrigued. It cannot walk around on carpet. All our smooth flooring is in areas with appliances that it can walk under. Makes a terrible racket when it gets stuck. Wish it was big enough to not walk under stoves and refrigerators. Would be a really awesome fun toy if we had somewhere that we could use it.

My furry cat menagerie absolutely loves this toy. It is well made. It got cats that are overweight & never want to move to instead play to their hearts content. It is like a furry caterpillar on a string that 'walks'. Anyway the cats went crazy for this. They played with it long after the batteries gave out. I am ordering 2 more. Hope you will always make these. Thankyou.
