PetSafe Stimulating Exercise Laser Cat Toy, Adjustable

Product Information

KONG makes some of the best pet toys in the world, and, true to form, their simple laser pointer is a winner. It’s shaped just like the classic KONG rubber toy and works with the touch of a button. The keychain attachment makes it easy to hang up out of the way when playtime is over. 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.

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. With its futuristic shape and sleek, compact design, the SereneLife laser cat toy won’t infringe on your home’s style. This device offers three adjustable circling speeds and can be used at multiple angles.

The PetSafe, FroliCat Dart Duo Interactive Dual Laser cat toy provides plenty of interaction and entertainment for excitable cats, and perfect for group play

With an automatic shut-off, the laser powers down after 15 minutes and if you set it for all-day-play, there's a rest period of two hours in between each session to ensure your kitty doesn't become overstimulated. The other thing you need to consider when selecting your automated toy is safety. Choose a toy that comes from a reputable retailer, is robustly made, and features a secure battery compartment. This should have screws to ensure the compartment never comes open by itself, which is vital when this toy is being used by unsupervised cats. Cost and ease of use With easy push-button operation, this laser pointer is a simple and affordable choice. It features a cute mouse shape complete with ears and whiskers—the heart-shaped nose turns the toy on and off. To make it easier for your cat to see the laser, the beam ends in a larger spot of light. These cute little birds wobble and twirl around a weighted base for long-lasting entertainment. They’ll automatically activate when your cat comes to bat and swipe at them and turn off when your cat loses interest. You can also use the manual on and off switch to save battery and decide yourself when playtime starts and ends.

This mouse laser cat toy comes with the three replaceable LR44 button batteries you need to operate it. This toy features an automatic shut-off to preserve battery life. It runs on three AA batteries (not included), which gives you about two months of play. If your cat is as obsessed with the Roomba as ours, then the PetSafe Laser Tail Automatic Laser Light is going to absolutely blow their mind. Rather than the laser moving in random patterns, the whole device moves across your floor, changing directions at random. Your cat won’t be able to decide whether to bat at the Laser Tail itself or at the laser it projects ahead of it. Looking for a laser toy that has it all? This unusual interactive wand features playful feathers and a wriggly worm to dangle in front of your cat. It even plays bird sounds to get your kitty pumped for playtime. It’s perfect for cats who might need a little encouragement to “stalk” their new prey.This skittle-like laser tower is pretty straightforward: you turn it on, and it rotates its internal mirror to project random laser patterns across the wall and floor for kitty to chase. It keeps going for 15 minutes before automatically switching off, which should be plenty of time to temporarily tire out even the most energetic of kittens. The shell is made from environmentally friendly high-impact ABS plastic, so it's durable and sturdy, and it comes with three ribbons and two feathers, ensuring you get longevity and great value for money. 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.

For our money the best-looking of the automatic laser cat toys in this list, we would be happy to have it in our home based on looks alone. But obviously aesthetics aren't everything, so how does it work? To save battery power and, more importantly, to prevent your kitty from becoming overstimulated and over-familiar with the toy to the point of boredom, each session lasts for between just 10 and 15 minutes. If you decide to program the device, then you can have it set off every couple of hours for that length of time, and we would have no problems leaving a cat unsupervised with this one.
