In theory, you would think this would be a good toy for a cat, but it moves too slowly on the floor and it doesn’t stimulatethem at all. I mean it does for a little bit, but they lose interest. One of my cats doesn’t even care about it and the one she loses interest.

Moves alright but easy to knock over

My cats (1.5 years old with CH and 5 months) like the toy when it turns on but it is extremely easy to unbalance and for them to knock over within the first 10-15

My cats (1.5 years old with CH and 5 months) like the toy when it turns on but it is extremely easy to unbalance and for them to knock over within the first 10-15 seconds. While the pry is interactive for them I would not suggest it unless you are okay with righting it all the time.

It moves so slowly, my cats were just confused

This toy is a total waste of money. It moves so slowly, there is no chasing instinct, the cats were confused and bored.

This toy was quite disappointing for the amount of vibration/noise it makes it barely moves across the floor(it does go but sooooo slowly!) my cats followed it around for about an hour simply because they were like “what the heck is this thing” although I wouldn’t consider it playing. Then they lost interest altogether. Would be cool if it moved fast across the floor

Just vibrated, no movement

Looking for true interactive toys. The cats were a bit afraid of this one

I was so excited about this toy as I had a similar one that my easily bored, intelligent cat found engaging. Its battery ran out I couldn’t open it to replace the battery. I was so sure this would be a winner that I ordered two. Turns out it just goes in circles. Sometimes it gets under the cat and just bothers him. He gives it a toss and it lands on its side and it’s game over. I thought it was supposed to wander, not just circle. Ver disappointed.

It's very quiet.

Interesting movement. Arnold is fascinated by it.

Once you turn on the mouse he does not stop moving. Other interactive toys that I have bought hibernate after a period of time when not being played with and are woken up when my cat bats at it or moves it. My cat gets bored with this after a minute or two because it does not mimic an animal that attempts to get away once touched.
