PetFusion Ambush Interactive Electronic Cat Toy

Several years ago, I purchased PetFusion. It was a great toy then. The cats loved it. Eventually, it no longer worked. Because the cats loved it so much, I purchased it again. I inserted the batteries and held the button down until it turned blue, which is the fastest speed. It was sooooo slow, the cats were bored. I thought that perhaps the batteries provided with the toy were old, so I replaced the batteries. It was still slowwwww. I wrote to Chewy and they sent me a new one. I took it out of the box and set it up and the same thing happened. For some reason, the company who manufactures this toy decided to change the electronics.

This is going in the trash because the cats are bored with how slow it is. The feathers poke out of the hole and they remain there. Then slowly, they return. This is not the way the toy is supposed to work on high speed. It used to be a great toy when they first began manufacturing them. Something changed. This toy is headed for the trash. … more

Of all the electronic “puzzle” toys I’ve tried, this one garnered the most attention so far…at first. Unfortunately, both of them have lost most of their interest in this gadget just like nearly all the others. This one may be the greatest toy you’ll ever get for your cats, but mine, not as much as I had initially hoped when I turned it in the first few times. I fear it will also end up at the local shelter eventually, just like almost all of the others did. Oh well.

My cat loves games that encourage hunting and pouncing and this toy fulfills that need very nicely. It runs for 8 minutes before shutting off to conserve the batteries but she’ll sit and wait patiently for me to turn it back on over and over again so she can continue playing for up to an hour at a time several times a day. She tries to predict which hole the feathers will pop out of next and tries to bat them or catch them with her teeth. The toy was more expensive than most but it was well worth the money because of all the hours of entertainment it’s providing.

I have a rowdy 1-year-old boy cat who likes to hunt. In an effort to divert that energy from his older sister, I've been trying to find toys that he enjoys. Particularly toys that I do not have to always have the other end of. I worried this might be noisy (as some automatic ones are), but this one is pretty quiet and he loves it! Big sister does, too! They ambush and snag the feather and drag it around - it works upside down and right side up - and then stare at me when it turns off! Definitely worth every penny!

I was really excited to get this, seeing as my cat loves hunting teaser wands. However, he did not give two fluffs at all about this toy! He watched it for maybe 30 seconds and walked away. I tried again a couple times, same thing. Gave it to my friend and her cats go crazy for it. Definitely a good toy thats worth the money. Gwar just prefers the toy wands I suppose!

She gets so excited when we turn on this toy. She never gets bored of it like her other toys and it’s nice to have the automation so we can walk away and she’s still entertained. I wish there was a way to have it automatically turn back on after an hour so if we’re gone for a long period of time she can play. Otherwise she absolutely loves this toy!!

My rescue loves to play.. a lot. So I got him a toy he could play with without involving me. He loves the purple and green settings on the Ambush toy. I think it’s like wack a mole for cats. Love the replacement feather and automatic shut off after 8 minutes. I recommend for young playful indoor kitties.

Only one feather rotates out from hole to hole. Would be better if two feathers rotated. High speed is not that fast, my kitten catches it and drags the whole unit away to bury. Also if on button was on the bottom instead of the top would be better, whiling playing they put their paw on the button and turn it off and on.

Our boys are 7 and 8 and totally spoiled. They get totally bored after just a few minutes but not with this toy we had it about a week or so and they come to us crying because they want us to turn it on. It's a big hit! They have every cat toy ever made but this is the only one that entertains them for long periods of time . We highly recommend it!

I had my doubts when I bought this because my girly plays with toys for a little bit then walks away. Not this one. She loves it! She stands over it thinking she can figure out where the feather is going to come out. When it goes off she taps the top to try to make it go back on. (She's a smart one lol). Keeps her entertained for a while
