Fantastic Toy
After reading some of the reviews I was a little worried my little Luna wouldn't find this toy fun, but I was completely wrong! She cannot stop playing with it.
Not only is it fun for her, but it's also very entertaining to watch. Would defiantly recommend this product.

5 star toy
Great toy which my cat gets hours of fun from, my cat doesnt seem as intent on destroying the butterfly unlike other reviews. We are still on the first one.
As others noted, it is a shame the butterfly doesnt have a slower rotation, its either fast or off but thats a minor note. Finally, all for paws sell the same toy, but with white base. You can buy spare butterflies from ebay /amazon for the afp model which is the same as this one, just a different colour. I bought spares and they fit the same

mmm
I mean she loved it when we first got it but quickly became bored of it. I've tried again after leaving it a few months and she's completely unfazed by it. I'm going to keep it in the hope she'll one day become interested. This product drains battery's like mad! I've had to replace (duracel) battery after one use! Once the product slowed down only after 5 mins.. with brand new batterys mind.

Great fun!
My cats really enjoyed this and I think its built pretty well...they have chewed the butterfly's up a bit but are still chasing them!
|
Scared my furbaby!
Petrified of it as soon as i switched it on.
In my excitement of thinking she'd love it I ripped packing open so it's just a ornament sat in the corner of the room. 😂😂

Great toy but not worth it without replacement butterflies :(
My cats loved this but the butterflies don't last, so this toy is now useless in less than a week.
|
Fantastic
My 2 year old cat absolutely loves this toy, she even cries for it if I walk past the box lol. The only problem is that once the butterflies have gone they cant be replaced and I have to buy the toy again... This is the best interactive toy I have ever bought

Frightened my cats!
I bought this for one of my cats for his birthday and he was terrified of it, same again with my other 6 cats when I put it in front of them. I thought they would love it - they are all big babies!
Great product but not built to last
My cat absolutely loved this toy, would spend forever chasing and pouncing however the butterflies would snap off after a short while and replacements cannot be purchased. So once your cat gets through all 4 butterflies supplied, a whole new toy would have to be purchased. If it wasn't for this I would rate it 5 stars because the idea is great and my cat did really enjoy it.

All cats love this!
This is without a doubt the best cat toy I've ever bought. I have three cats and the oldest doesn't want to have anything to do with the other two - but with this toy she had to participate. My kitten can play with this endlessly. The wire does get bent when the kitties pounce it, but it's easily straightened. There are a total of four butterflies included, and they last a long time, but it would be great if they could be purchased separately. It's very silent and the butterfly is very lifelike

Great!
Bought this for my 12 cats, they all loved it and it even got my two 17 year olds off the sofa playing with it. Keeps them entertained for a long time. This is the second time I've bought one, just wish you could buy the butterflies without having to replace the entire toy once all 3 have been destroyed!
Great toy
Really good toy. It has interested my cat more than any other toy he has had. Agree with others it is such a shame that you can't buy new separate butterflies. Used 2 already in no time
|
Fun and games but one drawback
I first saw this toy at the breeder's house and already knew that my kitten loved them. He must have recognised the noise it makes because as soon as I switched it on he started miaowing for it and jumping around. This toy is great fun for both kitten and owner (slave) BUT, as others have already said, there are three replacement butterflies but you are unable to purchase more of them without buying a further base unit as well. I hope I can reuse the wires, perhaps with some feathers.
|
Great, but...
All my cats love this and it is a real shame you can't buy extra butterflies separately otherwise this would be a 5 star product. It gets well and truly battered and stands up to it well, but I feel you missed a trick - you should have called it a 'Batterfly'
|
Fantastic toy...but...
As it has been said- fantastic toy but I'm totally surprised there is no option for extra butterflies! I have kittens so on daily basis butterflies would last for a week of time maximum! And that toy becomes useless after that.. Please zooplus think about adding spare butterflies to your offer! Buying this kind of toy new every month is ridiculous..
Great toy, but now useless
This toy, in itself is great and all 5 of my cats loved it from the go. However the first butterfly only lasted minutes before it started to peel and needed to be replaced. I've now had it just under a week and the cats have gone through all the butterflies, and as you can't buy replacements the toy is now unusable.

Funny Butterfly Cat Toy
My kitten absolutely LOVES this toy! He loves to jump and pounce on it and it's great fun for me to watch. Highly recommend this!
|
hilarious fun for the humans too!
within 5 seconds of starting this it was heading down the hallway with the butterfly in the mouth of our little huntress. the butterfly survived! the wire was a little sad though, but bent back into shape there were 8 curious cats taking turns to chase and pounce. Suitable for blind cats who can hear the fluttering and feel the breeze of it passing, the only thing apart from ping pong balls on a hard floor that has got our blind boy excited. Well worth it!

Good Toy, But Not Great
This toy should have been a great toy but in fact is average. The fluttering butterfly is a great idea, just needed some more thought going into it. It only has 1 fast speed, it needs to be able to flutter back and forward, slow and fast. Also instead of 1 butterfly fluttering, it would have been more fun to have 2. My cats showed a little interest when I switched it on, but no attempt to catch the butterfly as the speed was continually too fast, instead of alternating between slow and fast.

Very sad
Nice toy, especially when it's switched on. The butterflies are quite delicate though. Once they've been bent, you can't straighten them again, and unfortunately that happens very quickly (after about 3 minutes), so the fun was over pretty fast.

it doesn’t move
For the first time it worked, but it doesn’t spin like in the video. I have to push the white circle part, it moves once and then stops…

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.

Great idea, but broke quickly
My cats love it! Unfortunately, the second device has already broken. The batteries keep leaking, which means the device stops working afterwards. It's really a shame, because otherwise my cats absolutely love it.

Great entertainment for kittens
For now, they're having loads of fun with this game. There are 4 butterflies in total inside, the first one lasted a week but they seem pretty sturdy—my furry little killers are to blame. Three AA batteries not included.

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.

Funny Butterfly + 4 Ersatzschmetterlinge
Great while it lasts..
Basically, a beloved toy for all our playful cats... But I ordered it in November and now the motor has already given up. I also had to replace the butterflies quite often, mainly because the rods bend down very quickly and it's almost impossible to bend them back... plus some butterflies were just badly made and flew backwards...
Yeah... what a shame.
Fun factor: 9/10
Lifespan: 3/10
Battery consumption: 200/10

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.

Fun
My cat has quite a laid-back temperament, but he’s never gotten tired of this toy since he was a kitten. He tries to catch the butterfly while lying on his back—it’s really fun to watch! However, I recommend having some spare butterflies on hand.
