PetSafe Stimulating Exercise Laser Cat Toy, Adjustable

Product Information

Featuring a Certified Class 1 laser that's completely safe for your cat, this toy has two play modes so you can set it to one-time-play or all-day-play, great for if you're going to be out of the house for a long period of time. The laser patterns are also random, which adds an extra element of fun to the game.

The best automated cat toys tend to be the ones that stimulate natural behaviors, which for cats means hunting! Cats enjoy toys that act like prey – this means sudden or unpredictable movements or toys that have a hide-and-seek feature. The reward in these games is the ability to be able to catch the prey. Toys that feature lasers can lead to frustration as there is nothing for your pet to physically get hold of at the end. Physical ability 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.A big reason for getting an automatic laser toy over a manual one is that you can get on with your day while your pet is entertained. However, it’s worth thinking about where you are and what you’ll be doing, because you should be supervising any play involving lasers and kittens – and cats in general if you don’t want all your stuff chewed and broken. Cat owners say that their cats give this toy two enthusiastic paws up, returning to it again and again thanks to its engaging design. While people would like the charge to last longer, it appears to be a small flaw when compared with how long it keeps cats content for. You can also adjust the height, lengthening the feet by pressing and holding a button underneath the toy and the feather and ribbon rods can also be lengthened to suit, making it a fantastic option for cats of all ages and sizes.

One of the most popular and versatile laser toys on the market, the PetSafe Dancing Dot works beautifully on elevated surfaces, floors, and even hanging from doorknobs, offering your kitty an unpredictable play session every time.

The majority of users were pleased with the product, stating how much their cats enjoyed chasing the rotating dual lasers during playtimes. Most liked the fact that it had a long laser range and variety of combination settings providing more fun. One owner went as far as to say that her ‘very fussy’ cat who doesn’t usually like laser toys, ‘cried’ when the play interval timer had stopped. Keeping multiple cats busy can be a challenge, but this dual laser toy offers an automated option. The Petsafe Zoom stands a little over 10 inches tall on a sturdy base and features a rotating head with two built-in laser pointers. The randomized pattern keeps your cat guessing and two cats (or more) can play at the same time.

This laser pointer gets all the basics right. While a lot of laser pointers marketed for cats use a press button—you have to keep holding it down with your thumb—the Whisker Rechargeable Laser Pointer has a switch, which means you can turn it on and it stays on. There are a dizzying array of automatic laser toys out there, but we think the PetSafe Dancing Dot Laser Pointer Cat Toy embodies the best combination of usability, simplicity, and safety. This small laser toy (3 by 2.25 by 3.5 inches) can be set up on an elevated table, or can be hung from a doorknob with the included strap. The laser roves around in a random pattern, encouraging your cat to chase it across the floor. 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.
