PetSafe FroliCat Dart Interactive Automatic Rotating Laser Pet Toy

In theory this laser pointer is a great idea. But actually...It's a hard pass. The toy comes in two pieces: there is the laser pointer, and then there is the base that it sits on. I have no idea why these pieces are separate but that's just a heads up for you. It's made entirely of plastic but it feels like if it fell from a table onto a hard floor it could crack or pieces could fall off. This toy is loud. As it rotates it sounds like a mini machine gun going off. I know that sounds weird but its kind of ridiculous. It's part of the reason why one of my cats (who is obsessed with laser pointers and basically won't play with anything else) generally just stares at it funny instead of In theory this laser pointer is a great idea.

This thing pumps out a lot of noise. The laser itself, granted, spins in circles - but it doesn't have a wide range of lateral motion. And finally, my greatest two problems with this: For some reason, when I read that it had a timer - I was really hoping that it would have a timer so it would go off at random times throughout the day. But actually the timer is just for when you turn it on - you can decide when it will turn off...In 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes. And you'll want to use it every time because this friggin thing takes 3 AA batteries and they are not included. I don't know when this product came out but it is 2018 and honestly everything should just be rechargeable. Hans says no, I say no..I regret this nearly 30 dollar purchase. … more

Pug owners know what I mean when I say sometimes you need a moment alone. You'll have to find a means of protecting it from your destructive little demon. As you can see in the pictures we use a short stool as a barrier. The pillows make it seem like the dot is "hiding" and get thrown about or shook.

While it seems like a great way to entertain your cats who go crazy over laser lights and not have to flash the light yourself, for some reason, this toy entertains my cats for 5 minutes or less. Sometimes they are entertained, mostly not. I still turn it on, but they prefer that I personally flash the laser light by hand. Maybe they are spoiled brat-cats who demand my inclusion in their play?!

Hannah Mae loves this laser toy. She actually chases the light for awhile before she lays back down and just bats at it. LOL It's good to see her a bit more active. Wish it had a plug in adapter though...batteries are expensive, but I would definitely recommend it.

Used a couple of times worked great, didn’t use for a week or so wouldn’t turn on acted like batteries died, but didn’t. Got it to work again. Turned it off would start again after a day or so being off. Changed batteries still wouldn’t start. Got it start then wouldn’t shut off had to take out batteries

Not as noisy as other reviews led me to expect. Too easy to have it on endless play due to unclear controls (an no instructions included). Only wish I could set it to play with the beasts while I'm at work.

We purchased this for one of our cats - Midnight. He loves the laser light, but it is rather loud. Will we continue to use - yes. Will we order again - probably not.

Bought this as an upgrade to the "Bolt". I like that this is meant to be set on the floor, I'm hoping it will be more durable than the Bolt that I set on the counter. I like that there's more time settings. Very little hold my cat's attention for more than 10 minutes so I like that it's not wasting too much battery after they get distracted. It gets my 20 pound cat up and moving and doesn't require any work from me other than a couple of buttons. There's a couple of small downside. It is noisy. The other downside compared to the Bolt is that there's no manual setting where the laser holds still.

My Babies absolutely love this item. They would play all day long if I let them. My youngest kitty can’t knock this one over which she likes to do. Great toy!!!

but my boys are SO enthralled with it, it's 100% worth it. My little 2.5-year-old and my 16-year-old are both entertained, and my wrist isn't sore from waving the laser pointer!
