SmartyKat Hot Pursuit Electronic Concealed Motion Cat Toy, Blue

Very happy with this brand & product. We have gone through 2 of another brand, one lasted almost 2 months, 2nd lasted about 3 weeks. I was having to recharge the batteries almost every day and when the cats stopped the arm it seemed to just burn motor out. I received the SmartyKat last week and the cats have played with it every day and almost 6 days later is the first time I've had to take the batteries out to charge them. I love that it pauses and it makes a noice when they hold the arm down so they let go immeditaly, but doesn't scare them off. When it pauses the lights flash in the middle, so that keeps them interested until the arm starts again also it does turn off after a certain amount Very happy with this brand & product.

bought this for my 4 month old kitten because she loves to pounce on my legs under the blanket at night, needless to say she might love this toy even more! by far probably her favorite toy, the only issue i have with it is that the feather part doesn’t really come out the sides like the pictures show and the lights are kinda pointless as they don’t really do much for her. other than that my kitten loves this toy and for the price i paid you really can’t beat it!

My cat LOVES this toy, she would give 5 stars. After two weeks, she has claw and teeth holes in the cover, and I expect it will be shredded in 6 months. This being said, she still would play with the "business" part, or I can throw a blanket or sheet over. Also, the lights are of no interest to my cat, other than it provides a pause in the action. In addition, I must say that chewy is awesome about quick delivery. I live in a very rural area, and yet my order was delivered within 36 hours! Always have a great experience shopping here.

This is a fun distraction for my cats, but I have found the battery life is not great, which I have found to be true with every toy I have purchased lately. It doesn't go as fast as similar toys I've had and my cats find the long pause annoying. I think it's hard for us to like since we enjoyed a different brand before, but had issues with the motor burning out within 2 weeks, which is why we are trying this brand. I think it would be good for those who have never had a toy like this before so you don't have a comparison to match it with.

I had a cat who had a similar product and he LOVED it. I knew, when I got my new cat, that I had to get her one too. I couldn't find the one I had before, but this one is so similar (like I said) and she is LOVING IT. She will hunt this thing from sun-up to sun-down. She stalks from around corners and under tables. I love watching her do the Wiggly Butt And Pounce on it. I foresee MANY changes of batteries to keep this toy going for a number of years to come. The only minor complaint is that the "fur tail" enticement toy stays under the mat the whole time; it doesn't really come out from underneath the mat unless she pulls it out.

Any cat toy that my cat can interact with without me having to do anything is a solid "W" in my Book of Cat Toys that Enable My Laziness. This thing keeps wee Ash McDougall preoccupied for at least an hour and I like that it'll automatically shut off after a certain time, so you can turn it on before bed to keep your nosey cat from nipping at your toe-toes as you try to fall asleep.

They love this toy. For the longest time the fury kids watched it move and grove. Reaching out to touch it, but then pulling their paws back. They took turns while they all sat around the toy. It was hilarious. I got a 2nd toy for my friends cat. She watched her toy for 30 minutes and then attacked it. We will let our cats play with the toy a couple of times a week and then put it away. This way each time its like a new exciting toy. Otherwise I think it would get busted up eventually. We enjoy watching them play with it. Love it!

This new version is not as good of a product as the former version (with light purple skirt). The lights are useless, the replacement wands I have wont fit on it, the circle is smaller, and the feather does not come out as far. The motor lasted about half as long as the other two (former version) I had, which I wish I could find again.

My two cats are obsessed with this toy! I have one very smart tuxedo cat who I thought might destroy this toy or get bored it quickly. I only bring it out twice a day for about 20 minutes at a time, and they never get bored of it! They LOVE THIS! The two settings are really nice for my different cats, and the cover is just opaque enough to help them see the color of the "mouse." Would 10/10 buy again!

Most cat toys only work with kittens who would chase a rock. My fat sluggish adult cats interact with this toy. The draw back is the little tail like thing rarely shots out. There are two speed settings. I have to put it on high to get any real movement from the toy. Nice touch, it shuts down after a while on its own.
