The laser is battery-operated, which makes choosing its position very flexible. I really like that. However, the laser moves very quickly. The red dot darts around in all directions and heights, but unfortunately, it’s so fast that my furry friends have little chance of catching it, as it often changes direction and ends up out of sight. This ultimately dampens their enthusiasm for playing, and they lose interest quite quickly.

It was entertaining for the cat for a while until the noise from the motor became more interesting and he worked out where the light was coming from, at which point it became dangerous as he was looking at the source of the laser. So now we use it hand held, so it's a large and expensive laser pen!

My tomcat was more interested in the sound the device made and kept looking for it in the mirror. Unfortunately, the very erratic laser dot only entertained him for a short while.

My crazy cat loves lasers, but he lost interest in this one after the first try. The dot moved so fast that he hardly ever "caught" it and quickly gave up. Every time I try again, he just glances at it briefly and then disappears. Such a shame.

This is a good product and fun for my cat but the side effects not so much. I've had to stop using it because now every flick of light from a phone, reflecting water, my laptop or a mirror sends him insane. My curtains get attached daily when anything reflects on it. So in short, it was fun at first but I think my cat thinks Aliens are coming to get him :-) Some serious long term paranoia has set in. I probably wouldn't of bought it if I had known it would do this.

Unfortunately, the noise from the laser is a bit too loud and totally distracts from the dot or scares the cat! The dot could also be a tad bigger so the kitty can see it better ;) Otherwise, great idea – my 2-year-old loves playing with it, and the 2-month-old is still a bit sceptical! Works quite well even in daylight!

The product itself is not bad. The quality regarding laser protection for cats and humans is inadequate, and it doesn’t stand firmly. Otherwise, it’s good.

So, first of all, I can’t leave it on the floor, otherwise my tomcat sits in front of it and stares into the laser, which is really dangerous. Other than that, I think it’s a brilliant idea, my kitty goes wild :D but as I said, better to place it higher up, you can adjust the height using the mirror.

Since my cats love laser pointers, I ordered this item. Unfortunately, the laser doesn’t stay on the floor but moves along furniture and walls. This inevitably leads to scratches on the furniture and damaged wallpaper. So, it’s not suitable for small flats. For this reason, it’s going back.

My cat (Heimdal) is very sad today because his 2nd favorite laser toy fell off the table and now won't move the laser around. This toy is ok, he seemed to enjoy it while it worked. However, there are a few drawbacks to this one. It's very fiddly, it only moves in 2 specific ranges. One is very far and one is too close. Placing this on the floor the circle only projects slightly in front of itself and adjusting the mirror puts it on the wall. So the solution is to put it on a table or windowsill. This is a new set of challenges, you now have to find the exact spot of the -edge- of your table or sill. Otherwise the cat will only get to play half of the time. Which is how mine found itself falling to the ground every time my laser loving cat tried to make the laser work. He discovered where the button was and started pushing his head into it. So of course, it makes it fall. Of course, anything will make something fall if it has to sit on the edge of a table. The first fall made the mirror no longer stay in position, so we had to stuff a piece of paper in the slot to keep it positioned (only one position makes the laser stay on the ground) and that was literally on day two of owning this toy. We've had this toy for 2 months and now it will only work in manual mode. And this is slightly unwieldy to use it that way. So if you have a very curious cat who likes to investigate things (i.e. knock things off of tables sometimes) don't expect this to last very long. Also, when it falls on the ground all 4 batteries pop out. The cats found that amusing. Otherwise, he really loved it and often would ask to play with it.

At first great, but now my cats are bored.

At first, my tiger found the laser really interesting, though it was a bit loud! Over time, however, he just gets bored with it, so you have to take a break for a few days, and then he’ll chase after the laser again!

My cat loves laser pointers, so I decided to go for this laser. Strangely enough, my little one didn’t find this laser that great at first. The downside, in my opinion, is the noise caused by the movement. What I do like is the timer function.

I bought the Bolt Laser out of convenience, thinking I could use it to keep my cat entertained and distracted. At first, my indoor tiger found the device quite fascinating. Unfortunately, the movements are relatively slow, and my cat quickly got bored—until she started completely ignoring it after about a week. Conclusion: It's nice enough, but it becomes uninteresting quickly—the Bolt Laser is now with a friend of mine. Her cat, on the other hand, likes it. You just can't avoid trying it out for yourself :)

The idea is absolutely brilliant – a laser pointer that moves on its own... Genius! However, this device is not yet fully developed. The red dot moves far too slowly, the device could be a bit quieter, and it’s missing an automatic timer... But otherwise, it’s great! Perhaps the manufacturer should consider a next "generation" of this device.

After having this thing for about 3 months now, I have to say it’s making even stranger noises that can’t be turned off. But our cat likes it. She comes over when it stops. It would be nicer if you could fix the point as well, since it keeps moving all the time and the cat never really catches it.

Well, my little one is already playing with it, but the thing is really loud and not great if you're trying to watch TV at the same time... but otherwise, it's alright.
