Cats are creatures of habit with short attention spans—that's why brief, scheduled play sessions with your feline are best. Just two or more 10 to 15-minute sessions of interactive play a day is paw-fect and can also help preserve the battery life in your cat's favorite toy. The expected battery life in this toy is 10,000 Activations, so remember to turn it off when it's not being used!

My cat is incredibly PICKY. He does not like balls with or without bells, crinkle balls, springs, feathers, balls on cat trees, etc. Not to mention he loses interest within about 2 min of most toys we’ve tried. He really only enjoys mice he can bat around and a worm on a string. We were desperate to find him something he could play with independently while my husband and I work from home. We took a chance on this chirping bird, knowing we may lose our sanity in the progress and he. loved. it. He loved it so much he broke it within 24 hrs due to rough play. Obviously that’s an unfortunate loss for us but it helped immensely in finding stuff he will actually play with. We’re going to look into getting more. If your cat sounds anything like mine, take the chance! I can’t even take a star away for its short life in our household because it gave us momentary peace of mind. Highly recommend!
The first thing my two feline girls noted the catnip aroma. The both rolled on back packaging. Then I had to get the girls in the chirping bird. The big girl had no interest in the bird. The little girl was definitely interested in it. It was fun to watch. Now both girls go looking for the chirping bird.
I have a 2 year old rescue cat that lived on her own outside in the country. She's a contented inside cat now. She doesn't know how to play. She has fallen in love with this noisy bird. I put it under a small towel & set it off. She has so much fun getting it free & throwing it around.
Both my cats LOVED this right out of the package. The sound is engaging and I can hear them batting it around in the other room as I type this review. Wonderful item! I'll see how long the sound lasts. When it stops responding with that chirping sound (it chirps when the cats hit it),I'll consider buying another one. Highly recommended!
I pull this out of the box and pull the tab to activate and one of my kitties comes running (as does the dog). This is her favorite toy. In fact I had to buy another one as the first one went "missing" within the first 15 minutes of having it. Who knows where she hid it? LOL!
I pulled the tab, and no chirp. Shook it some and still no chirp. Rolled it in some catnip, and presented it to the kitties. It got batted from one end of the house to the other for over an hour...but still no chirp. It was like a $5+- item, and the cats play with it without the chirp, so not worth the hassle to send it back.
I bought 2 of these chirping birds as I foster kittens and the babies love the toys that make noise. I was excited to give one to my momma kitty n kittens pulled the 1st tab didn't work I was bummed so I gave that one to my older fosters. I went and pulled the second tab that one didn't work either very disappointed foster mom here. I'll buy from the store next time so I can pull tab n be sure it works.
Second bird, this one chirps but barely. I have one of their birds from years ago that chirps like there is no tomorrow. Our cats like these but not when they don't chirp. SmartyKat has to get their chirp back on the bird. This is not Chewy's fault. I am working on the second bird to make it well, am hopeful.
My cat has played with this chirping bird almost non stop since it arrived. Alto it can a little annoying when he brings it onto our bed at 6:00 in the morning and wants to share in his playing, all in all it's a great toy.
Poor quality upon arrival. There’s a hole on the underside of the bird and stitching coming out elsewhere, and it’s not even been played with. Not worth the hassle of returning. Chewy product quality has definitely been declining lately.
