Movement they cannot predict
A ball that rolls in a straight line stops being interesting after a minute. This one drives itself: it changes direction, wanders off at odd angles and turns away when it meets a chair leg. One touch of a paw and it is off again.
It moves like something worth catching
Ready in three simple steps
USB-C at 5V 1A — a phone charger or a power bank both work.
That switches it on.
The light colour tells you which mode is running — blue fast, purple slow, yellow interactive. Five minutes later it goes quiet on its own.
Loved by pets and their humans
My cat is delighted.
The toy is amusing and works well, but my cat has not gone near it yet. The packaging was in very poor condition.
A good toy.
My cat played so enthusiastically that he lay down exhausted afterwards.
I like the product.
A quality product, but the toy is very noisy. My cat is frightened of it rather than playing with it. All three modes work.
It works, although it's a bit too fast for my cats.
Everything is as described. It works fine and my cat is interested in it.
It's a lovely toy, works perfectly, and I'd recommend it for pets.
It works perfectly. It's a gift, and I think the kittens will have a lot of fun with it.
At first my cat was wary of the noise as it moved, but then she played with it happily. Sometimes she simply follows it around.
It has three movement modes and charges with the included cable. The battery lasts about 15 minutes.
Highly recommended.
It matches the description and works well. My cat plays with it, although it is rather noisy, so I wouldn't run it for too long in a flat with neighbours downstairs.
There are several modes indicated by different colours. I don't like how the hard plastic parts knock against things and make a lot of noise, but my cat loves it and it does what it's meant to do.
It comes with a charging cable and lights up while running. The cord is easy to attach and remove, although it sometimes gets tangled around the ball.
The item matched the description. I was pleased with it, and our tortoiseshell cat and Jack Russell have been playing with it nonstop. It's entertaining to watch them. 😀😅🤣😂
Very loud.
The moulded thread for attaching the cord needs better quality control. I had to file it for 30 minutes before it would screw in.
A brilliant toy that darts about quickly. One of my cats is not keen, but the other likes it.
I find it more interesting than my cats do.
ok
Good to know
How do I switch it on?
Press and hold the button on the ball for three seconds. The colour of the light then tells you which mode is running.
What do the light colours mean?
Blue is fast mode, purple is slow mode and yellow is interactive mode. A fast red flash is not a play mode — it means the battery is low and the ball needs charging.
Does it run all day?
No, and that is deliberate. Each mode plays for five minutes and then goes into standby. If nothing wakes it within about half an hour it switches itself off completely.
How does it charge?
Through a USB-C port on the ball itself, at 5V 1A. An ordinary phone charger works, and so does a power bank.
Is it noisy?
No — it is a quiet roller, which is why it is fine to leave out in the evening while the house is winding down.
Can the string be taken off?
The cord runs through a moulded connector built into the clear shell, so it is part of the toy rather than a clip-on accessory. As with any toy with a string, put it away after play rather than leaving it out unattended.
