My Cat Loves It
From the very first moment I turned this on, my cat loved it.
When it's off and she wants to play again, she stands over it and won't move until the butterfly is fluttering past. Unfortunately, she's very good at catching it and so I'm already having to buy spare butterflies to replace the 'dead' ones.

Kittens love it!
My 2 six month old kittens love this toy.
I was worried that the butterfly might be too fast for them but they love it.
They spend ages chasing the butterfly around, trapping it and letting it fly around again. Also comes with extra butterflies which is really useful.

They love it
One of my cats doesn’t it leave her butterfly alone. Always stays its side. We started a collection

No batteries needed!
My new cat who we believe is a bengal cross so needs tons of exercise and stimulation was initially frightened of this toy in operation and then found it boring as it whirled predictably past her nose. But with the batteries not in operation - you could use spent batteries to add weight - she plays with it endlessly as it’s movement is unpredictable like a real butterfly. It is very strong and the butterfly lasted for two weeks before she shredded it which I thought was good considering.
Keeps cats entertained
Easy to set up. Kept both cats entertained for hours . Good exercise for them. Butterflies are good quality and you get 4 in a box. Butterflies spin in circles very fast . Best money I've spent on a toy.

Good for pouncing on
My cat loves this toy. There are times she'll ignore it completely but others where she plays with it for a good half hour at a time. Well worth the money.

Very satisfied

Scared at first then loved it
So my 13 week kitten enjoyed playing with it without the butterfly moving (note that batteries aren't included and they are AA ones). Then when we switched it on he was scared at first but after he saw us playing with it he started playing with it bit by bit till he was full on batting and pouncing. You get a few extra butterflies. So I would definitely recommend if your cat has a very strong hunting instinct as that overcomes the fear of the machine.
fantastic toy
Kitten loves this toy the only problem is it should turn its self off after 3 mins but mine doesn't

Amazing !
My kitten loves this from the first second !

Great toy, and we worked out how to fix it if it starts to spin
Our cats love this toy, but we've had the same problem as some other reviewers, when the butterfly starts to spin around really fast, and doesn't flutter any more. My husband is an engineer and worked out how to fix it. Here's what to do: 1. Ensure the wire is a loose fit in the white plastic button it's attached to, ie the wire should move freely within the button, before you attach the button to the base. 2. Bend the wire in different places, esp. at the butterfly end, until it flutters.

Fabulous
Another great toy from Zooplus. My foster kittens will play with this for ages and ages, eventually they sit on the butterfly!

Terrified to Obsessed
I have 3 cats who were terrified of the manic butterfly toy, then a little neighbourhood cat came in and showed them how to play with it! So now I have 1 cat who can't get enough of playing with it and 2 cats who slink past the toy on their tummies when it's turned off, when it's turned on they leave the room! Originally got the toy for my eldest female as she has a lovely habit of grabbing real butterflies in the garden and eating them whole!! Ick! It's something I just cannot unsee now!

Cat loves it
A simple and effective cat toy. My cat loves it whether its on or off. Don't stop selling it. She has already killed two of the butterflies much to her pleasure.

Very effective
This is a really effective toy and the cats love playing with it.

Perfect toy!
Maya (4months British Shorthair) absolutely loves it! I couldn't imagine any better toy other than this one. Oh yes... The feathery one which is one of her fav too from this website!
Amazing!

What a joy
My cat willow loves this. She can turn it on and off herself lol. The added butterflies are great so should last quite a while. Now she’s my most anxious cat so was surprised as out of them all I’d of thought she’d be most worried about the noise but no lol it’s hers lol.
Fantastic
Both my 2 Maine Coons love this toy and play for hours with it.

Enzo and Terri absolutely love it.
My two Siamese Cats really love this toy. They have played with it for three weeks, the original butterfly is still holding together. (You get 4 butterflies with the toy, and replacements are really good value and available from Zooplus)

Such fun :)
My two bengals love this toy :)
It comes with four butterflies, so should last well even with two bengals.
Really great toy and definitely recommend

säästöpakkaus: Funny Butterfly 1 kpl + vaihtoperhoset 4 kpl
The puppy was smitten
The speed was a bit wild at first with new batteries, but using slightly used batteries at the start helped with that. There's nothing you can do about the metal rod bending because of the way it's attached (it also causes some squeaking). Our butterfly is flying again after I carefully bent the metal rod in the middle to make an angle.

Excellent
My cat is getting old and doesn't move around much anymore. But with this toy, she's found a new lease of life.

Super
I bought this for my kitten and I didn’t even need to put the batteries in, he just plays with it as it is. Luckily, there are 3 extra butterflies included! I’ll have to buy refills soon :)

My cat loves it
I've tried loads of different types of toys—either my pet ignores them completely or gets bored after five minutes. But this one, they absolutely love! Just a heads up, it takes three batteries and they don't last long; after a week they were already dead, and I didn't even use it that much. Still, seeing how much fun they have makes it worth it.

Damieh's butterfly
Very good toy, my cat loves it. At our place, it's always on, and when the battery runs out, Damika lets us know that her butterfly has stopped.

Zubehör: 4 Stück Ersatz-Schmetterlinge (OHNE Katzenspielzeug)
Really great and interesting for my two kitties
I never would have thought this toy could be so interesting. The butterfly still really encourages both my cats to play. They chase the butterfly for hours and never get bored. Definitely buy it. It keeps cats busy for ages because it also switches sides. It spins around as soon as they tap it with their paw. Highly recommended. No matter if they're young or old, the cats enjoy it for a long time.

Far exceeded my expectations
I really didn’t expect this – all the cats are absolutely mad about this adorable little thing. Even the one who usually never joins in when playing is getting involved now. Wonderful!

Unbreakable
My cat plays with it every day and with so much enthusiasm 😊, the motor has held up for several months now, and we're only on the second butterfly. Excellent purchase.

my cat loves it!
As the title says, my tomcat loves playing with it and goes wild! :)
I'm also surprised at how quiet it is! I had read otherwise, but I have to disagree. I can hardly hear anything.
Clear recommendation!

Both are absolutely crazy about it
My two girl cats (both just turned one year old) are always looking for new stimulation. Especially the black lady wants to be challenged. Alongside an activity board, I’ve now bought this butterfly. What can I say: both of them are kept busy and absolutely crazy about it. Thanks to the spare butterflies, you can even keep the other one entertained manually at the same time. And even when it’s switched off, the butterfly is still interesting, as the wire moves when touched.

Brilliant
Finally, something my cats still haven’t gotten tired of playing with. Really simple system with a very lifelike butterfly fluttering.
