PetSafe Bolt Interactive Laser Cat Toy

My cats love the hand held laser so we decided to give this a try. I turn it on everyone morning after breakfast. It has a timer for 15 mins . After it stops my cats come to me to turn it on again and again. I only do 3 times because I don’t want them to get bored of it . So far they are addicted to it and they know where the laser is coming from so they’ll take me to it when they want it on. Laser toys are not for all cats so make sure they are into chasing a key chain laser first.

I think I like this more than my cat. She is 3 years old and very curious. If I sit it in the floor, she investigates the object making the noise instead of the light. (It does make noise) She also tries to stare right into the laser light which would damage her eyes so I grab it away. I think if it made less noise she would go more for the light. I have tried putting in higher places where she wouldn't look into it and she still does. I find the best way for me to use it for my particular cat is to hold it so I can control both her getting to look at it and direct the light. I advise people to not put it in the floor and leave the room.

I was getting really tired of playing with the pointer laser and sometimes bored when my cat would stop chasing it and pretend not to care until I stop playing! He still prefers to play when I m controlling the regular pointer lazer but he happily chases this one and it gives me time to breath (or eat!). I returned about 4 or 5 toys that I thought my 2 years old male would enjoy but he couldn't care less. I am surely NOT returning this one! I wish you could control the speed or have a little more range settings to adapt it to the area you can have you cat safely play in and avoid furniture but it is already petty good for the value of the toy. It has 2 positions you can set on to allow to play I was getting really tired of playing with the pointer laser and sometimes bored when my cat would stop chasing it and pretend not to care until I stop playing!

It has 2 positions you can set on to allow to play on a bigger area or slightly smaller. It does covers a lot more surface than the picture depicts with the kitten The only thing that scares me a little is when my intrigued kitty finds an interest in where the light comes from and tries to stare at the laser source. So you have to be vigilant when you let your pet play. Supervise them. I tried to give a 4.5 but it wouldn't let me. The only 0.5 I would take away is for my fear of having him look at the laser but that is nothing the manufacturer can do about and the restricted ability to set it up a little more tailored to your surface. … more

We have an orphaned kitten that has only have humans to teach her how to play. My daughter is worn out and at 3 am when the kitten wants to play and she wants to sleep this is the best thing. The pattern is always random. It changes and starts out in small circle and goes out to big circles. You can change from floor to wall by moving the mirror. I would recommend this toy.

we bought this because we thought we could turn it on and have the cats play on their own occasionally, but mostly because we thought we'd also be able to hold it like a regular laser pointer. unfortunately, the moving mirror unit doesn't stop moving...and it's loud. one of our cats won't go near it because it makes noise and it also doesn't prevent laser burns on their eyes because it's random and doesn't account for where they are looking or standing. do not recommend and i can't believe it's being sold as it is.

One of my cat's loved playing with this thing... for about two minutes until she got bored with it. I think she would have played with it a lot more if it moved slower. The laser moves so fast that my cat can't even get a chance to "catch" the laser. Since she can't "catch" it, she gets bored of it really quickly.

Bandit is a siamese so you know they get bored really quickly but he appears to like to see it around. Like I gave him something new even if he doesn't chase it. I like that it has a mirror to bounce the laser beam from rather than direct. After the first time it didn't work. Then I tried it again a month later and it now works. It's probably due to the possible delay mode that I don't understand very well at this point.

This product is so amazing! I received it very fast and it was easy to set up. My cats will be entertained while I’m at work now, and I think they’re just as thrilled about it! Only downside i have found is one of my cats is handicapped and can’t process the laser because it moves fast, but all the other cats love this! Also a heads up it takes 4 AA batteries.

My cat loves it until she knocks the unit over; My cat goes bonkers over chasing the light, and then she goes after the unit itself and knocks that over and then it's game over. If I start the Bolt laser toy too many times, she gets bored and goes to sleep. But at the beginning and after a few days of non-use, she loves it. And it gives me a break of not manually using a laser pointer. The laser goes sporadically and she has a tough time following the light direction. I think the light should be a little slower and a little more predictable in pattern and direction because as it is now, the light bounces all over the place and it's tough to follow, but try she does.

The device turns on and the part holding the laser moves but the laser itself is broken and emits no light. My cats didn’t even have an opportunity to play with it as it arrived broken.
