So I bought this for my cat for Christmas. Batteries included which is a plus. Simple and easy to turn on, small black switch underneath. If it hits a wall it will turn and fly the other way BUT it will get stuck in things like floor mats when it hits it. And it gets stuck on the side when flipped/tipped over. At first my cat was not enthusiastic about him, she was even afraid of him. Now she loves it. Not her favorite toy, but she goes after it and beats it up, sometimes chasing it. She also chirps about it like it's a real bug. Like most toys, she tried to "drown" them in a bowl of water. I fished it out and so far it's still working. It could be because it wasn't on when she put it in, or because it runs on batteries. It's a decent price. So if your cat likes to play with real bugs, I recommend getting one. However, you cannot choose the color. I bought two and they sent me two blue ones just FYI.
