Review on Indoor Electronic Cat Toys With Mouse Tail And Catnip Ball, Battery-Powered Automated Interactive Toys For Exercising And Hunting, With Auto Shut Off - Perfect For Kitty Entertainment! by Harry Tulsa

So, let's be clear on what this thing is:Inside the blue box you see in the pictures, there is basically a fuzzy arm that spins around in circles. In addition to that arm, there is a little yellow ball that has little bells and catnip in it that you drop into the blue box, and as the arm spins around in circles, it bats the ball around. It does change directions and occasionally stops for a second when it does.It moves too fast to be intriguing to my cat. Maybe it's just my cat, but she likes things that pause sometimes and are truly random - which is much more like what, say, a rabbit or a bird would be like outside. This thing spins so fast there's no point in trying to stalk it, and she can't actually grab it anyway, even if it were stopped. It did grab her attention for a little bit. She was curious about it for a while, and she batted at it a few times and then walked away.The motor that spins the arm around is quiet, but the plastic ball isn't. I'm not sure how pleasant the noise is to a cat, but it's not very pleasant to me.I figured this was unlikely to really keep her entertained. How much can you expect of an automated cat toy? I kind of expected it would fail, and it did. But I had to try. Apparently it works for some cats and there's nothing wrong with it, per se, so I'm giving it a decent rating. I recently adopted an older cat who is surprisingly active and wants to play and wants interaction ALL the time, so I'm trying a lot of things to keep her entertained when I can't give her my attention.
