Pet Zone Fly By Spinner Interactive Cat Toy

My cat loves this butterfly, she pretends she is hunting by hiding under the bed and other areas of the house and slowly sneaks on it then she pounces on it. It is so funny to watch. This toy does keep her busy for at least a good 20 minutes. The only downside was when I opened the box two bottom piece were broken, other than that it does work.

Every real cat person can interpret their cats meows. My TinaCat meows specifically for this toy or asks me to help her when she has flipped it over. The wire is so thin that the slight weight of the butterfly and the spinning motor really make the butterfly look like its fluttering. I like that the butterfly is of a plastic type film so her claws don't catch it too easily (as opposed to fabric) and so it keeps the toy interesting to her. At first I put the feet flat, but then it didn't spin as well so I suggest keeping all 4 feet slightly bent. I super recommend this toy and apologize in advance to any real butterflies my Tina might attack in the future.

One of my kitties recently passed away and I bought this toy to help my other kitty keep her mind occupied. She loves it! Even as I was taking it out of the box, she was batting at it. As a bonus, one of my other cats enjoys playing with this toy too. He's a bit more aggressive with it than my female cat... and the butterfly does get knocked off the base very easily. A small dab of superglue fixed that and I'm considering getting a second one so they can each have their own. One AAA battery lasts an acceptable amount of time in my opinion but I invested in rechargeable ones anyway.

My cat LOVES this toy, but unfortunately the butterfly did not stand a chance. My cat chewed up the butterfly in less than 5 minutes and gagged on the plastic butterfly. I freaked out!!! Your cat will love this toy too, but you must be present while your fur baby plays with it (choking hazard due to plastic butterfly). My cat was really entertained by it, but it's a risky toy. Purchase at your own risk is all I can say.

My cat Dori loved this toy the first few days, but she was able to knock it over several times. I finally began using painter's tape to tape it to the tile floor so it stayed upright. The feet should be suction cups, which would make this toy nearly perfect.

My two cats have enjoyed this toy for 6years. They don't like toys in general, but this one they will play with and play a sort of badminton between the two of them. The first one lasted years, meaning the mechanism, the motor was really good, all it ever needed was new batteries and occasionally to clean fur from around where the butterfly attaches to the base. It doesn't affect the spinning of the butterfly itself, I just noticed that a little fur will collect there. Overall, for the price and entertainment value, I don't think it matters which one you purchase, these are great toys for getting your cat interested in getting up and playing for awhile and interactive play with another cat.

I do highly recommend the Pet Zone Fly By Spinner! One thing I will say about any of these flying butterfly toys, once the cat bites one of wings, it's probably going to fly like plane with one engine... it's going to struggle to get around. But with some adjustment of wire, you can get a little more use out of it until the butterfly is no good and you have to replace it. My cats played with theirs until it only half a wing left, lol... I'm a bad mommy. … more

This is our cat Spookybones’ favorite toy. She can play with it for hours, and will even go for it when it’s off. We may need to buy a replacement butterfly soon though because of how hard she goes at it. This was a great find!

If I am being honest I had low hopes for this toy, but my cats adore it! The bad part is they’re so obsessed with it, I’ve had to already purchase butterfly replacements. I would definitely recommend buying with replacements just to have on hand :) I ended up buying a second machine as well for my “less aggressive” player. Just go into it knowing it’s cheap and not destructive kitty proof - but I’ve never found a toy both of my cats adore consistently! Definitely recommend!

I'm so glad I brought this toy for my cat, she loves it so much!! She wants it turned on 24/7, she already has teeth marks on the butterfly but definitely worth buying!!!!

I have two cats, one year old and four years old. I knew the one year old would like it but was surprised that my four year old also liked it. It is much more durable than it thought it would be. They both love to play with it and the battery lasts a very long time.
