YVE LIFE Laser Cat Toys for Indoor Cats The 4th Generation Real Random Trajectory Motion Activated Rechargeable Automatic

My cats love this! And I’m so impressed by this product. The motion sensor is fabulous. Great operation modes. It is charged with a USB cable and has great battery life. Since it doesn't need an outlet I can put it anywhere. It really does a great job of doing a random motion that keeps my cats entertained. It was so great to get such a great product. I saw this advertised on a pet gift list and so glad I got it. Read more

Does your cat seem to dislike anything new you bring into THEIR home? Does your cat give you looks of disdain when you try to interest them in playing with their most favorite toy - the same toy they play with constantly when they don’t know you can see them on the cat cam? That was the state of affairs at our house before I ordered the YVE LIFE interactive laser cat toy. As I prepared to open the recently arrived Amazon shipment, our always curious juvenile male, Jet, made it a point to insert himself in the middle of the box. When I pulled the cat toy from its packaging, he gave it a casual and dismissive glance, returning to the top of his cat condo from which he could “guard” the room from whatever he perceived to be unwelcome or otherwise an affront to his feline sense of territory. Dutifully, I plugged the almost autonomous cat toy in for its first charge at our house and true to its included instructions, it was fully charged and ready to go in short order. The toy itself can be placed almost anywhere and its adjustable head can be set for maximum feline fun. The device itself is shaped roughly like that of a sitting black and white cat, complete with cat shaped ears on its rotating head. It seems to be a well built device and appears suited to survival in a house with roving felines. The toy is a bit on the top heavy side due to the hollow nature of its supporting base. Even so, It’s not easily toppled unless you are like me and prone to knocking things off counters or living room furniture. I will say that it showed no signs of damage even after I managed to knock it off the table where I had placed it when first unboxed. Jet was still at the top of his perch when I encouraged the new toy to life with a touch of the button atop of the toy’s head. Jet only feigned a slight interest as cats often do but as soon as the toy’s head rotated in animation, his focus became laser like and his interest grew and grew. The laser now activated, its unmistakable red targeting dot fell onto the rug far below. There it hesitated briefly, captivating, dare I say daunting, its feline predator while luring him down from his lofty perch. Jet placed his body into crouch position and readied for a full power launch, effortlessly springing from the cat condo and landing with a thud, the dot miraculously escaping the pounce at the last possible second, emerging behind its stalker and continuing its playful taunt. The logic mechanism behind this laser toy provides random experiences for your pet and this runtime capability will help prevent boredom. Its three modes of operation ensure that your pet has a fun experience. Its fast mode of play is all but guaranteed to make you, the human, howl with laughter. It certainly did me! I laughed until I cried as Jet chased the laser projected dot around the small little space, wondering what Jet was thinking of this game in his place. Jet was captivated and intrigued with his new found friend. He had a blast running up, down, and all around. After 15 minutes of full speed fun and hunting concentration, his mental and physical workouts were complete as the smart little toy placed itself into sleep mode for its standard two hour nap, resting for a future play session with Jet or our other usually uninterested feline, his mother, Hunter, an ill fitting name for the long haired beauty she is. Jet quickly learned that humans can bring his new toy to life at will and several times each day I find him alternating looks between the toy and me, adding a persistent meow to his demand for more play. More often than not, I give in. As a cat parent, I can only hope that this video game doesn’t “rot his brain” as my parents were convinced computer games would mine! This cat toy was a fantastic find. It operates silently but sometimes I wish it had a video game-like musical score to accompany the antics of play, but let’s be honest, our cats don’t need the music, that’s strictly for us humans. We are the ones easily entertained. The cat contingent gives this toy a tail up (this means “great” in the cat vernacular of mannerisms) and I definitely agree. I’m ordering one for my alleyway neighbor! How’s that for a stamp of approval?! Read more

My cat is obsessed! I should also note, he doesn’t like most automated toys because they lack human interaction. I like how it turns on every few hours and doesn’t run constantly. That being said, I am a bit shocked at how quickly the battery dies. I’ve had to charge it everyday but it does charge rather quickly. Only deducting a star due to battery life, otherwise it’s a wonderful toy. Read more

My cats are always fighting but this fixed the problem thank goodness!!!! It’s their absolute favorite cat toy and has been working for ages. Small size, great quality, playability and a wide variety of patterns they can’t get bored with. I suggest putting it in a place where it won’t get knocked over because they will definitely do that!

This toy is definitely five stars for me. I've tried other lasers---the pencil type (too small and dim a dot,) and another automated one (too small and fast,) but this one has the best features. The dot is larger and brighter, and the 3 different speed modes are great for variety. The best part for my cat is the motion detection timer. She can play during the night if she wants, and she does! My experience with customer service was excellent. The battery stopped working at a little over a year (the warranty didn't have a time limit at the time I bought this,) and Jessica was prompt and polite in responding to my email, and sent out a replacement for free without having to do a return. Despite the fact that the battery failed after a year (who knows why,) it's provided my cat with a lot of fun and I would buy it again. Read more

It's a wonderful toy, and it immediately captures my kitty's attention ... but it's tough to find a safe place to put it! All of the weight is centered in the head, the conical body is flimsy and lightweight so it's top-heavy and easily pushed over (cats are EXPERTS at that!) Also, it comes with a rubber ring that the base is supposed to sit on: it's not attached at all, and the first time my kitty knocked the robot off its perch, that rubber ring became a cat toy and disappeared forever. Two recommendations: Use some Superglue Gel to permanently fix the rubber ring to the base, and take a hot glue gun and add a whole lot of weight to the base. A few fishing weights might work, even a baggie of beans or rice or marbles might work, but LOWER THE CENTER OF GRAVITY ON THE ROBOT!! (Fortunately, mine has only fallen on carpet and has suffered no ill effects: I can't guarantee it will stand up as well to a hard surface.) My kitty *LOVES* this silly thing, but it only really works when it's on the edge of something, and you know what cats are like ... Read more

Bought this laser toy to “entertain the cat” and accidentally hired a full-time personal trainer for him. The random movements are legit—no lazy circles—so my cat is sprinting, sliding, and questioning reality. It recharges easily, and keeps him busy long enough for me to drink coffee in peace. 10/10—my cat is exhausted, I’m free, and the red dot remains undefeated. Read more

My cats love this!!!!! It entertains them and works very well. I will say that the charge doesn’t last long, so I keep mine plugged in. My laser obsessed cats LOVE it!!! Definitely buy this if you have hyper cats, they entertain themselves every time it turns on! Read more
