Can’t recommend
My kitten hates it. Doesn’t matter if it’s on or off he’s not a fan. I’ve found it eats up batteries within minutes which is really annoying. I keep it out now but never turn it on hopefully one day he will like it but if you have a toddler they will 100% love it when it’s on it kept my toddler entertained until it died

Really Good, but...
I found it difficult to rate because my cats love it! The issue issue is the butterflies don't last 10mins with my two. The first butterfly was shredded pretty quickly so I used another one and this lost it's bounce because they had squished the wire with their capture technique. This hasn't stopped me buying replacement butterflies but this will be saved as a weekly treat.

Temporary fun
Cat adores it, and he will happily play with it for ages, however, it seems to suddenly stop working after 4-5 weeks. I've had 2 and seen the same thing both times, a shame.
Kitten likes it but I difficult to replace butterfly
Kitten destroyed first butterfly. Manufacturer supplied extra butterflies in the box but I can't work out how to remove the first butterfly.

Fussy cats
I have 2 Mainecoon males, and they love the blue butterfly, they love the noise and the speed but only love the blue one and refuse to play with the yellow one in the last 3 days they have killed 4 butterflies. They need to be more durable and have more blue butterflies as yellow can be hard for cats to see. Anything on the red spectacles makes it hard and this yellow definitely is red based so please bare this in mind when making cat toys and I hope you guys find an upgraded version in future.

Great until stopped working
My cats loved this toy! However pretty quickly it stopped working and became useless.

Cats go bonkers for the toy
Had this toy a few yrs . Cats love it but today my kitten learnt how to pull the button off the toy. I put it back on within minutes he had again removed it and trying to eat it. This could have been a very expensive outcome. My kittens pedigree if he needed an operation for this it would have been very costly. Please either supervise your cats with this toy or don't let them have one with the button

Rather loud and fast moving
This was loud and the mechanism was so fast it deterred the cats. I used the dangling part on a stick and they loved it!

Didn't last long
Our cat loves this, even without batteries he will chase and pull on the butterfly. Unfortunately there are two issues: 1: the base is not heavy enough to prevent it being pulled over, even by a 5 month old kitten. 2: the first butterfly lasted 2 hours of play with our kitten. You can judge yourself whether you consider this durable or not but I expected slightly better. A number of replacement butterflies are supplied in the box which is good.

Okay but a bit disappointing
My first cat was not at all keen on this.The butterfly moves way to fast. We attached some ribbons to it to slow it down a bit which worked but still my cat wasn't overly fussed. When I tried it with my second cat, he had more fun with it but he did end up bending the wire on the first butterfly near the base within the first twenty mins of play. In short wouldn't recommend. Scary to timid cats and not strong enough for more rough and tumble cats.

Cats would give it 5 stars
Great fun but my kitten flattens the wire supporting the butterfly in minutes leaving it dragging on the floor. I tried to support the wire by wrapping a straw around it but it only helps a little.

Great but timer function no longer included on toy
My cats love this. They are on their second one and it's good you can get spare butterflies now. They sit tapping it until you turn it on!
The original one turned off after 3 minutes but it looks like they have changed the toy as I have now tried 3 others and the timer function doesn't work an any of them, which makes me think they design has changed and there isn't a timer function anymore. Shame as it was a useful feature but doesn't stop my cats loving it.
Not for fussy cats...
I wanted to get something that my cat can play with by himself and I don't need to do much as he is 6 months old and he wants a lot attention and play all the time. This looked interesting with many positive reviews. However when I switch it on he watches the butterfly for a minute and then he walks away... If the butterfly is switched off he is not interested in at all so this one goes into cupboard with his other stuff that he doesn't like!
Great fun
My youngest loves this, if you could get butterflies separatly I'd give it 5 stars

scared cats
I have only just got this toy 2day for my 3 cats all 3 of them run from it never seen them move so fast bless them yes its something new i do think this toy should have settings on it has it spins around to fast the toy is in the middle of my frontroom no cats in sight

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 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.

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..

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.

Funny Butterfly 1 kpl
Great for kitten cats
Doesn't really excite an adult 10-year-old tomcat. He watched it for a bit and touched the moving butterfly with his front paws. Well, at least we tried it. I reckon kittens or younger cats would definitely be more interested in this. In my opinion, the butterfly spun a bit too fast... If you could adjust or change the speed, it might work better.

A bit weak
It could have been nice, but the metal rod is very thin and bends with just one swipe of a paw.

Funny Butterfly + 4 Ersatzschmetterlinge
At first excited, ...
... but after just a few days, the toy was no longer silent and started making annoying noises. Also, the butterflies aren’t very good quality—they broke one after another just a few minutes into playing. My cat loves it, but it’s a hassle having to replace the butterflies every day.

Nice
Missing a little speed control. Other than that, it’s nice. My cats aren’t too bothered by it.

Not quite right
When the cats are in the mood, they like it and play with it. Although our little ginger one has already tried to run off with it after catching it.
It’s cute and works well, but how much they want to play with it really depends on their mood.
If the butterflies break, I’m sure they’ll be replaced, but I don’t think that will happen anytime soon.
