PetSafe Bolt Interactive Laser Cat Toy

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 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.

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.

Ordered it and it was broken, chewy sent in a working one (love chewy support). But even the working one is a waste, it only moves in a circle (oval shape really) and it moves SO fast that not my cats nor I can track it. And now the only way I can use it is as a regular handheld laser pointer that I severely over paid for. Save your money, do not buy.

This thing works less than half the time. It will turn on, but the laser will not light up. When we are able to get it working, the "adjustable mirror" barely makes a change to where it projects. The best use of this is in manual mode and at that point, just buy a cheap tiny hand held laser pointer. Absolute garbage.

Received this yesterday and placed new, fresh batteries in it. It worked as advertised and my cat had a lot of fun. Turned it off and an hour later turned it on again and guess what? Everything works except the laser. I tried switching the batteries out for new ones and it did not help. So now i have a toy that makes whirring sounds and emits no light. Worst cat toy ever!

I would recommend it even if you have a very lazy cat, like mine. She will watch the laser go crazy and look back at me like I was nuts if i thought she was going to run after it; however I eventually was able to get her to get up from her lazy position to chase it. GREAT PRODUCT though! Giving all 5’s because if my cat were not so hefty and lazy, I think she would chase it each time I turned it on.

Received the order today, which I was looking forward to for my cats. Put brand new batteries in, and the laser worked for about 5 seconds and then didn’t light back up. The motor continued to rotate and spin around, but the laser itself was not on and working. Tried a different new set of batteries and the laser never came back on after that first 5 seconds. I was hopeful seeing other reviews that the laser pointer worked, but after receiving the item and seeing it was faulty, I saw the other recent reviews stating the same thing about the motor working, but the laser not turning on. Hopefully I can return the item.
