PetSafe Bolt Interactive Laser Cat Toy

The cats that I have that were ever interested in handheld laser toys like this but only my for month old kitten can keep up with it for the duration of the 15 minute timer. It moves very quickly, too quick for my older cats and even the kitten loses track of it occasionally awhile she is playing and will turn and look at me and "bark" until I point it's circuit out to get again so she can get back to chasing it. Battery life is good, turns itself off after 15 minutes, and I've knocked over and accidentally dropped it so many times and it hasn't broken yet so it's pretty durable. Only change I wish they would make is to add speed selection settings otherwise it's pretty great, and definitely The cats that I have that were ever interested in handheld laser toys like this but only my for month old kitten can keep up with it for the duration of the 15 minute timer.

We bought this toy right after we brought our kitten home. She was ok with it at first but being a kitten was easily distracted. She is a little older now and last week we brought it down off the mantle and she chased it until the time ran out and then slept like the baby she still is. Today my son and his friend were playing and she kept messing with their toys so I got this down to distract her. The laser comes on but it does not move anymore. It’s like it’s stuck in manual mode. I changed the batteries hoping that would help and nope nothing. I read the instructions to make sure I was doing it correctly and sure enough you just click the button but nothing.

I played with her for a few mins but this toy was purchased so that I could be multitasking while she played. Today was literally the 3rd time it has been turned on. We sort of forgot we had it until last week we used it for the second time. It’s really to bad. So while I do recommend this type of product for good kitty fun. I do not recommend this particular one as based on the reviews this issue is more common than it should be. I am not usually one for writing negative reviews as sometimes while something isn’t my cup of tea others may like it, but this one is down right broken and since it’s “used” and we don’t have the box there is nothing I can do about it. I almost always give a company a chance to make something right, things happen, items slip through inspection or malfunction but it stinks nonetheless. … more

My thumb has often started cramping up with the hand held laser toys because my cats would love to play for hours. Got this and my cat goes crazy!!!! When I turn it on she can hear it no matter where she is or what’s she’s doing and comes running. It shuts off by itself after quite a while so gives her a good run. We’ve had so much fun with it I’ve bought it as gifts for friends cats. And no more thumb ache!!!!

Our two cats are getting older - ages seven and nine - and show little interest in most cat toys. We want to keep them active, and I remembered that Katie, the older cat, used to enjoy laser chase. Arthritis has made it harder for me to hold and control the little laser pens for long, so when I saw this toy, I decided to give it a try. It is easy to put in batteries (not included) and it works as shown, with an adjustment that allows the laser to operate at three different heights, from the floor to high on the wall. Katie does enjoy chasing that moving dot for 5 - 10 minutes. Sparky, our younger cat, looks at it, and says "meh."

I have three active darlings. One is on the chunky side and this was purchased with her in mind, and it's a success. The other two watch intently, occasionally taking a stab at the Red Dot. I wish I could set it to come on intermittently during the day, but it is fine.

I recently rescued a feral kitten that is FULL OF LIFE. She's trained enough now that she won't kill me in my sleep, but still full of crazy. This thing, y'all. My goodness. It keeps her entertained! And, it has gotten my senior cat playing here and there!

As others have said, the motor is loud. The biggest downside is that I ended up having to put this on the floor. Otherwise, it was shining the light up high on the wall, furniture, etc. I find that the room has to be dim for the laser to show up. The other thing I dislike is that it moves too fast so my cat loses sight of it. She does still enjoy it, so not a total loss.

I am a first time pet parent and have two kittens about 5 months old. They are so energetic and lots of fun to play with. But their energy seems everlasting. This toy has been so nice to be able to turn on and get them running around for a bit without me keeping them entertained. They love the random patterns and always look like they have lots of fun with the toy. I love playing with them; but I turn it on before I leave the house so they can get some play time even without me being there. Definitely recommend this toy to anyone with an energetic kitten or cat that loves a good laser toy

Our cat has eaten more bugs than she has brain cells, so this is the perfect this to keep her busy. It isn't really chaotic in movement, it just kinda goes in a jerky circle or back and forth. But it keeps her busy for fifteen minutes until she's too tired to play anymore.

This is really a great toy and lets cat parents off the hook playing with a laser pointer. I only complaint is that it does move really fast and my guys have a hard time keeping up with it...I guess it’s good for their exercise tho
