This is do noisy my cat is terrified of it. Waste if money.

I can't recommend it. My cat is only interested in the noise.

Defective, useless, waste of cash

Batteries don’t last, light lasted 2 days for 3 sessions.

Light stopped working after the 3rd time I put it on. Cats went straight to the reflective mirror to investigate. Has radioactive laser caution all over it. Not worth it, use a laser toy yourself to play with your precious cats. Not this.

I bought two FroliCat Bolt Laser Cat Toys when in Spain 2017. Both became defective within a month in that they stopped working in auto mode staying just in manual mode. In auto mode I just placed the toy in position and the cats chased after the light. In manual mode it is necessary to move the toy about so the light moves and the cats chase after it. I am still waiting for the third one bought recently to be replaced by Zooplus. It went defective after 10 minutes!!!

This almost eats batteries but then doesn't last more than a couple of months. (4 hours a week)

My two tomcats are more interested in the sounds this thing makes than in the light dot. Besides, it moves relatively slowly. It's better when used manually, but in that case, I might as well just use a regular laser pointer. However, my cats generally lose interest in laser pointers after a short time anyway because they can't "catch" the "prey".

Every laser pointer is bad for cats' eyes, as the light—even when reflected—is very intense. On top of that, the cat will never experience a sense of achievement, as it will never be able to catch the red dot. It's only something for lazy people who don't care about their cat's well-being. The product itself might be well-made, but that doesn't change its unsuitability.

The motor is too loud!!!!!! The cat always watches the machine.

Bought two of these and both broke within minutes of operation. Just get a normal interactive pointer and make your cats run after the dot manually.

... therefore, I consider it more dangerous than stated. I suppose it also depends on the animal, how it reacts to it and what it does with it. Ours tried several times to look directly at the laser through the opening at the top. I also found the adjustment of the mirror to be somewhat stiff and inflexible.

My son bought two of these as Christmas gifts, one lasted 10 minutes before the motor failed, the other never worked. A waste of money, better off buying some catnip toys from The local pet store. Great idea very poorly executed!

So this thing is/was a complete flop. Pretty unstable and totally boring for my two kitties!! Not recommended!!

We have 2 cats, 7 months and 11 years old. The device is loud and more interesting in itself than the laser. Additionally, the mirror cannot be locked into different positions, so returning it is the only option. Such a shame, because the idea itself is brilliant.

Unpacked, set it up, the cats heard the motor and that was it. Packed it back up and sent it back... Even if I have to operate it manually, the little mouse with the laser is better because I can tire the cats out more effectively than with this device.

Based on the many good reviews, I decided to buy the device. My two tomcats (1.5 years and 14 years old) are absolutely not interested in the toy. I’ve adjusted the mirror several times, tried different locations, and even held it in my hand. NOTHING! My friend (who also has 2 cats) borrowed it (an extremely playful 2-year-old cat and an 8-year-old tomcat). Neither of them showed any interest either. Now I have to figure out how to get rid of this thing...

If you set up the laser pointer and let the cat play with it, the laser dot can end up shining into the cat's eyes, which is very dangerous. It even says on the packaging that you shouldn't let the cat play with it unsupervised and that you should "always keep an eye on the cat" when it's playing with it. In that case, I might as well buy a small laser pointer that is a) not as expensive and b) not as noisy. I can't see any advantage in this version of the laser pointer at all. Quite the opposite!!!

Out of curiosity (and for our 4-month-old kitten ;O), we ordered and tested the laser toy. The kitten chased the red laser dot like crazy. However, I don’t like the fact that the cat doesn’t get the satisfaction of catching its prey. This also unsettled our kitten—he kept searching for the red dot for minutes after the laser was turned off and seemed quite confused. We returned the device and decided to stick with the "classic" toys!

My kitten won't go near it. It is a very noisy machine and uses 4 AA batteries. The laser pointer jumps suddenly to a different place in the room and the kitten loses it.
