Pet Zone Caged Canary Interactive Cat Toy

So far my two cats don't pay much attention the his cute little bird. Baffles me as they look at it maybe know it across the room and walk away. But I have very fussy cats. The top comes off the bottom where the batteries, sound and motion come from - when knocked around. Also when I pick it up sometimes,

The day it came my cats maybe played with it a couple times. By played, i mean they walked over tapped the bird a couple times and walked away. I turned it on maybe 5 times total to get them to play with it and now it won't turn off automatically.It went from chirping every couple of seconds to a constant chirp and doesn't turn off after 10 minutes. You have to go over and turn it off. I took a chance on it because there were more good reviews than bad but it didn't work out.

Our cats usually don't like mechanical toys, but two of the three went crazy for this! So much so, this is a supervise only toy. They cannot be trusted alone with it otherwise it might not see the light of day. A major feature is it turns itself off after 10 minutes. I hate spending more than $5 on one toy, but this was totally worth it.

My cat, Teddie, loves this toy! The first one I bought, he took the canary out of the cage. He loves this bird! Let’s see how long it takes him to grab this one out.

You cannot unscrew the compartment for batteries not worth the money

This toy is cute, but not worth the money. It is cheap and doesn't hold any of my cats attention. I have four cats. The bottom part that you have to unscrew to place the batteries is a bit tight and hard to unscrew but I had no problem with that part. Now it serves as a decoration in my house.

I like it more than my cat Tango does. I actually turn it on sometimes in the afternoon when the outside birds are less active. Tango is an extremely athletic cat, but he does like the toy when he is in a lounging mood in the afternoon. He watches the tail intently. Then he looks outside where the wild birds normally sit and back to the cage toy. The two parts separate quite easily. I suggest when moving it to hold onto both the base and the cage.

Cat was mildly interested but it stopped working after about 3 weeks.

Ok so yes it's a little difficult to open the battery compartment but I can deal with that. It works the way it should but I'M not fond of this toy. My kitten likes it for a few minutes after turning it on but gets confused by it. Because it doesn't shut up for TEN minutes straight! This would be a much better toy if maybe it alternated that noise, 2 min on/2 min off for those 10 minutes. And it's fairly loud so it's pretty annoying to have it play that long.

This toy is expensive for what it is but I had one that stopped working and I have two 4 month old kittens that were very sad. So of course it had to be replaced. The original did last for awhile and my cats are very rough on toys and to watch these babies having fun playing with this is worth the price.
