PetFusion Ambush Interactive Electronic CAT Toy

My three cats love things they can do together, and this was an instant favorite. My two active ones enjoy trying to catch the unpredictable "prey", and my big lazy guy likes to watch the movement. They like it so much that they learned how to turn it on (it's not easy for them because the power button has good resistance, but they care enough to work at it). I was worried they'd run the batteries out, but it's been a month and the originals are still going strong. The auto shutoff conserves power. The body of the toy is sturdily made and a good weight. With the rubber feet, it doesn't slide all over. It's certainly not silent, but it's not any louder than my PC fans. The noise itself is just a robotic whirring. The only drawback I've found is that a quick cat CAN catch the feather if they try, and if you have a rough player or a chewer, they may break/eat it. That said, one of mine IS a destructive chewer and hasn't destroyed it yet. The most he's done is pull a few bits off. I think it's because as soon as he lets go to chew on it, the "prey" pops back inside. You know your cat best though, and if you're worried maybe give this one a pass. Apart from that, I definitely recommend this toy. I'm really happy with the value, and the fact that you can buy replacement feather ends doesn't hurt.

It doesn't turn on automatically. That would be cool. Comes with batteries! Blue light stays on until it auto shuts off. My big guy absolutely loves it. He also bullies it so it slides. There are rubber feet, but honestly, it sliding is not a worry for me. He hasnt been able to flip it or make it not work. Hes about 12 lbs of Tom cat. It helps decrease fights between my big guy and my birdie guy. (birdie guy will stalk big guy when hes irritated, and big guy will play rough on birdie guy when bored. Not a good combo). I do think it will depend on your cats demeanor and what kind of toys they like. This big guy prefers ground play and toys that mimic bugs. He loves this toy. My guy that prefers bird or flying types of toys, isnt super interested, but he also doesnt like playing with the big guy. My old guy likes to watch but hes not big on anything other than a real bug, cat nip or laser lights lol I dont feel like it's much louder than my air purifier on high. The lights mean different things. Read the instructions. Comes with a spare feather! It's much less annoying than them trying to "hunt" eachother. that's for sure. It acts like prey. It will stop occasionally to gain the cats attention. This is def a great thing in our house. Just use my toe to turn it on when the cats seem to be needing to let out energy. (Helpful if your busy cooking or doing another task or pregnant and exhausted like me lol). My cat hasnt been able to catch the feathers yet, surprisingly which keeps him interested. I'm very happy for once an interactive toy that is safe and very effective as the feathers hide when not in use.

Both cats stare at it, one of them goes CRAZY mode on it and the other prefers to just keep an eye on it. It's a little loud but that's to be expected with this kind of thing. As far as I can tell, there isn't a motion sensor you can use so that they could play with this when I'm not home, you just turn it on and it'll run for a while. I wanted to help my cats be less bored when I'm gone, so that was kind of a bummer.

Awesome interactive toy! This is my second one and both cats loved it. Built well and the option for battery or a wall plug “ sold separately “ makes sure it will last years! No dead internal battery later. They also have extra features to purchase.

The toy worked well, but my cats only watched it. The build quality was good and it came with batteries. I could swear that it knew when my cat was there. When it had timed out, my calico started tapping on the top as if to turn it on again. I wouldn’t use it faster than the slowest setting. They wouldn’t play with it and ignored it after the first day. I feel that it’s because they can’t hold onto it or easily catch it. So, I returned it. Like many cat toys, it’s a hit or miss. It will depend on your cat.

I’ve owned a few of these now and every cat I’ve ever presented it to has gone bonkers over it. My last cat went through two. She was a destructive little monkey, but actually a pretty big cat. She could actually grab the feather in her mouth and pick the whole unit up in her mouth and carry it or flick her neck and throw it. She was tough on these, but she really liked beating them up. The cat I have now enjoys sitting and staring at it and occasionally swatting at it. She lets me know she wants to play with it by going and sitting next to it and looking from me to it until I go turn it on. They’re pretty sturdy unless your cat throws them, even then, the case, etc holds up fine. It’s the feathers that take a beating. It comes with one extra feather in the box, but I’d recommend getting the package of spares, too. The batteries last a really long time, even with regular play. It’s a little noisy, but the cats seem to get used to that quickly. It’s a really great toy.

I purchased this for a Christmas gift for my cats. When I turned it on for my cats, not only does the noise it makes scare my cats, but it was broken. I looked inside because I never saw anything poke out. There was some loose part inside that had a threaded end but no feather or anything was attached. Unfortunately, I threw the box away and wrapped it so it was ready to go when they opened their present. Such a disappointment. Horrible product!

My cat loves to play, but I don't always have the time to play with her as much as she would like so I was keen to find a toy that she could play with on her own. Other videos of the Ambush Interactive looked fun so I thought we'd try it out. As other reviews have mentioned, it is pretty loud and does make a a scraping mechanical sound. When I first turned it on, she was pretty afraid as she's very timid. It took about three days of me intermittently turning it on and her simply observing from afar before she would play with it. Now, the Ambush Interactive controls my life. When it isn't on, she sits beside it and screams. At night, she screams until I turn it on. She sits on it. She tries to get under it. She loves this toy more than she loves me, her food, or watching birds. It can amuse her for hours, she'd play with it constantly. A fabulous toy that will provide endless entertainment for your cat!

Non è piaciuto per niente alla mia gatta fa solo rumore e le piume che escono sono troppo corte non lo consiglio affatto.

Har köpt dom flesta kattleksakerna på marknaden. Men denna är lätt favoriten till en av mina katter. Haft den ca 1 år nu och den fungerar bra och han har inte tröttnat. Den andra katten leker ibland med den.

Ich war auf der Suche nach einem neuen Beschäftigungsspielzeug für meine zwei Hauskatzen. Da Jagd- und Versteckspiele bei uns sehr beliebt sind, habe ich mich für das PetFusion Pounce Spiel entschieden. Geliefert wurde es sehr schnell und kam sogar einen Tag eher an als angegeben. Optisch hat es mich sehr angesprochen und das Spiel war sehr schnell einsatzbereit, die mitgelieferten Batterien rein, Knopf gedrückt und los ging es! Bei uns wird es sehr gerne bespielt, jedoch nur von einer Katze. Es ist für sie eine schöne Abwechslung für zwischen durch und man kann die Katze getrost mal alleine spielen lassen. Ich lasse sie immer 10-15 Min. spielen und packe es dann weg. Sobald ich aber den Knopf drücke kommt sie schon von weitem angerannt. Als Anregung würde ich noch erwähnen, dass es noch schöner wäre wenn man die Geschwindigkeit etwas regulieren könnte, es ist doch recht flink. Die Motorik ist eine mittlere Lautstärke. Meine Katze stört es nicht, meine andere ist jedoch zu ängstlich dafür. Zu der eingesetzen Feder gibt es noch eine Ersatzfeder, für Rabauken sicher sinnvoll. Wir sind zufrieden mit dem Kauf und der schnellen Lieferung und geben hiermit unsere Empfehlung.

ma louloute ne sait jamais autant amusé avec un jouet elle tourne autour ,essaie par tout les moyens de trouver des astuces attrape parfois la plume qui resiste est repart de plus belle je suis impréssionnée par ça réaction est vraiment ravie que cela lui plaise autant le seul petit point negatif est le bouton poussoir qui ce détache facilement mais ça reste pas bien grave
