Cat Toy Review: Fun, but Noisy

A Fun Toy for Cats, but Be Warned: It's a Noise-Maker

summarizeEditor's Summary

This cat toy is a blast for my kitty, but be prepared for some serious noise. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to assemble and how long the battery lasts. It's a great value for the price, but the build quality could be better. My cat loves chasing the string tail, but I have to be careful not to let it get too close to the furniture.

I recently came across a review for an interactive cat toy, and I just had to check it out. There are tons of different types of cat toys out there, and I was curious to see what this one was all about.

I ended up choosing the ball-shaped toy with a string tail because cats love chasing strings, and it looked like a lot of fun for my kitty.

The toy came in a simple cardboard box, which was nice.

Inside the box, I found the toy’s components, which were super easy to assemble. The toy was even partially charged, which let me test it out right away at the delivery point.

The toy itself is a ball with a string tail, and it comes with a short Type C charger and a quick-start guide. I was surprised to see that the guide was translated into 16 languages, including English – that’s definitely a plus if you’re not a native speaker.

Assembling the toy was a breeze, and I didn’t need to read the instructions to figure it out. The string tail is attached to the ball using a screw thread, and the charging port is hidden behind a rubber flap. There’s also a button to turn the toy on and off – it’s really straightforward.

When I charged the toy, it started flashing red. Once it was fully charged, it stopped flashing and just glowed steadily – it’s pretty cool-looking.

The toy’s action is pretty simple: it spins around its axis, glowing brightly, and then suddenly moves quickly through space. It pauses for a second, and then starts spinning again – it’s really entertaining to watch.

The string tail follows the ball, and a plastic collar helps prevent it from getting tangled – it’s a nice touch.

When the ball is moving, my cat follows it and tries to catch it, leaping around in a hilarious display of feline agility – it’s really adorable.

I wasn’t prepared for just how loud the toy is. The ball moves quickly, bumping into furniture and walls, which adds to the commotion. It’s especially loud on laminate flooring – I can see why you’d want to use it in a room with tile flooring instead.

It’s hard to put up with the noise for long periods of time, and I feel bad for my neighbors (we live on the top floor). We only use the toy in areas with tile flooring, and even then, it’s only for short periods. My cat loves the toy, though, and enjoys chasing it, bumping into furniture, and trying to catch the string tail.

However, the noise the toy makes, combined with my cat’s antics, makes me feel guilty for disturbing my neighbors.

So, I wouldn’t recommend this interactive cat toy for people who live in apartments. It’s better suited for homes where the noise won’t be a problem – it’s definitely worth considering if you’ve got the space.

I do recommend it, though, because my cat loves it, and it’s a fun and affordable toy. If you’re interested, the product code is 371274185.
