Do cats get a chance to ‘catch’ the laser?
The laser occasionally stops during the play mode for a few seconds. This allows your pet to ‘catch’ the laser before it starts moving again.
How can I control DART?
DART has four different speed settings and four different timer settings. When the DART is first turned on, it is on the first speed and the 5 minute timer. To adjust the timer from 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes, simply push the ‘Timer’ button. To increase the speed interval, push the ‘Speeds’ button.
How is the toy powered?
All of our laser toys use low-level lasers. BOLT operates with 4 AA batteries. DART, DART DUO™, and POUNCE toys operate with 3 AA batteries.
How long does DART run in Automatic Mode?
The length of the DART play mode can be adjusted using the timer. The DART timer can be set to turn off after 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes.

If you want to reenergize an older cat who's grown aloof to most toys, try this automatic laser light machine. You choose how often to bring out the magic, how long and in what combinations to let it run; your senior will decide when to stalk, run and pounce on the darting light -- and when to rest before starting the whole game again. It's great fun to watch your cat be so thoroughly entertained by a toy again.

My 6 cats love this toy. keeps them busy and exhausted. Use it a lot of the time now when I leave the house and come home to passed out kitties around the "Dart" The youngest cats are super interested but they get too close to the laser and look in it which scares me...therefore put it up high. There are a ton of settings and you can remove the stand and hang or mount on any angle you want

Our kitten LOVES to chase the laser pointer. I figured he would love this toy. When it showed up, it was super loud and clunky. The laser wasn't smooth and the toy seemed rather cheaply made. Reading reviews, we may have gotten a defective one. Regardless, We ended up returning it. We were disappointed but we prefer to just play with a handheld laser now.

i WAS SO EXCITED TO GET THIS TOY FOR MY CAT. SHE DOES NOT PLAY INDEPENDANTLY VERY WELL BUT SHE DOES LOVE LASER PLAY. WHEN I RECEIVED IT I ASSEMBLED IT WHICH IS VERY EASY TO DO BUT IT IS SO NOISY MY CAT WAS NOT REALLY IMPRESSED. I TRIED IT OUT ON OUR MOST KITTENISH CAT AND IT KEPT HER INTERESTED IN A DARK HALLWAY FOR A SHORT TIME BUT NOT REALLY AS INTERACTIVE AS I WOULD OF LIKED.

This product had good reviews, and my kitty kids love electronic toys. This, however, for all of it's settings, was not appealing. They were very excited when they first saw the laser, but it moves too slowly and predictably. Even my more patient cat- who likes to sit and watch toys- will not watch it. Bummer.

I was surprised to find out how noisy this toy is. My cat just stares at it rather than the light because of the noise it makes. My friend has a similar toy and it is noiseless, so I was expecting this to be the same way. I will definitely be returning it.

I bought this toy not liking to spend hours using a laser, and my cat loves the crap out of this.. He had watched me many times turning it on to the point where when he wants it on, he'll turn it on. I have woke up in the mornings with it on. Love it..

If there was a way to disguise the top source part of the laser, this might have worked, but since the cats were drawn to the top as well, they walked away. It needs to work more like the laser pens.

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

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?!
