PetSafe Stimulating Exercise Laser Cat Toy, Adjustable

Product Information

Laser power is measured in Milli-Watts (mWs). Most laser pointers for cats will be under 5 mW. This puts these lasers in a Class I, II, or III category, any of which will generally be safe for play. While it is great for your cat to be enjoying themselves, there is such a thing as too much fun when it comes to these types of games. Many of the devices listed above come with an automatic shut off feature after a given amount of time – usually 10 or 15 minutes. Stimulate your cat’s desire to chase things, awakening natural instincts and providing hours of fun. Rather than just setting letting your cat get on with playing by themselves, you should set up the environment properly. If you are using an automatic laser, it is better if you move objects out of the way that your cat could bump into or hurt themselves on. Test the laser before use so you know where it is going to point. Set the timer if required so that the game doesn’t go on for too long. Follow any instructions that you have along with the pointer.

Another plus is it doesn’t require a lot of floor space to work efficiently, even working well on carpet. And the three distance settings are easily adjustable for smaller or larger rooms. If you have an active cat or multiple cats who constantly need entertaining, the PetSafe FroliCat Dart Duo, Interactive, Dual Laser Cat Toy is the ideal laser toy. The rotating dual lasers provide plenty of exciting chase, to ensure playtimes are more fun for our cats. For multiple cats, this is perfect for group play and prevents any cat fights (no pun!) over the laser beams. What’s more, the handy 15-minute intervals means that your tired cats can get a bit of a rest and also won’t wear down the battery lifespan. It’s easy to use and lightweight to carry around the home for endless fun. Indeed, it would appear PetSafe has really thought this toy through. The rubber feet on the bottom of the toy means it's not likely to slide around when a cat is attempting to claw at the mice. And, since the button needs to be firmly held down to turn on and off, your cat is going to struggle to accidentally activate and deactivate the device, putting you in control of when it gets used. While the dual laser toy is designed to offer twice the fun, some owners felt the lasers moved too fast for their feline pals. This meant that they easily lost sight of the red dot at times. However, the dual lasers proved to be a hit for owners with multiple cats, saying it kept them thoroughly entertained and happy.

How We Chose

The surface of the Cheerbe cat ball is made of synthetic fiber that's furry to the touch, making it comfortable to play with. We love that it offers 10 minutes of active play and then goes in to rest mode for 30 minutes to ensure your fur baby has a good play-rest balance and doesn't become overstimulated. Happily, it's generally as reliable as it is well-designed. Coming with a number of modes, you can turn any part of the room – ceiling, wall, or floor – into a playground, depending on where you have the device positioned.

Then there’s the noise issue: if you’re planning on getting some work or reading done while the toy is on, you’ll want to choose something a bit quieter. Some of the motorized toys can be fairly loud and repetitive, which can drive some people crazy. Look at the different adjustable features that allow you to change up the game with your cat. For example, there are those with several different speed settings to choose between. You may also be able to set the direction or movements of the lasers. The box features seven holes spread across the top and sides and contains three durable multi-colored feathers that pop out at random, stirring your cat’s hunting instincts and allowing them to pounce and play for up to five minutes at a time.This mouse-shaped toy with its unpredictable movements is sure to surprise and delight your fur friend as it chases it around the house in an attempt to catch it. Complete with a feather tail, this realistic toy will capture and maintain your kitty's attention and is sure to provide hours of fun. First, it is important to remember that different cats like different things. While some might go crazy for toys that make erratic movements other cats will prefer the mental stimulation of a hide-and-seek toy. Try and identify what games your cat likes to play with you and see if you can find something similar in an automated form.
