AI generated summary based on reviews added by customers
The laser toy is a hit among cats, especially kittens, providing hours of fun and flexible use. However, some reviews highlight issues like the speed of the laser, which can be too fast for cats to catch, and the noise, which can be distracting or frightening. Despite these drawbacks, many owners find their cats enjoy the toy, and the automatic shut-off feature is appreciated for battery conservation. Overall, it's a mixed bag, but many cats seem to love it.
Highly engaging for kittens and cats.
Flexible positioning due to battery operation.

Great way to keep busy
My little one is absolutely crazy about the laser, I can only recommend it. A zigzag mode would be a nice addition though. At the moment, the laser basically moves in a circle, but my little one doesn’t mind.

The best thing I've ever bought.
The best toy I've ever bought. Sometimes, when I'm too tired to play with the kitties, I just turn on the laser pointer. My tomcat goes absolutely crazy for it 😊

So cool
I think this thing is so cool, and so does my Lilli. She loves playing with the laser.
The device makes constant noises. It doesn’t bother me or Lilli, but it could definitely get annoying.

Gets boring quickly for my Frieda
The laser arrived within 1 day. We tried it out straight away. My Frieda finds it too boring because she hardly ever gets to catch it. She's more interested in the sound the laser makes. We'll see, maybe it'll become more interesting over time.

Very good
We have a dedicated cat room and have mounted the pointer on the wall. Direct staring into it is almost impossible. By adjusting the mirrors, you can vary it nicely. The speed cannot be adjusted. We turn the pointer on about twice a day. It switches off automatically. Our little ones are thrilled, Mum plays along too, Dad just watches. In my opinion, however, it shouldn't be a permanent toy.

FroliCat Bolt Laser Cat Toy
I think the Frolicat is very good, it's just a shame that you can't adjust the speed. It's continuous, and that's a pity.

a bit slow
My cats love chasing the red dot, we previously had another laser toy that moved on its own, but unfortunately, it broke, so I ordered this one for a change. However, it’s somehow a bit slow in its movements.
I might get the other one again, but the real hit for my two chubby ones is when I operate a laser mouse myself – then it’s “party time” in the house, and anyone who gets in the way has only themselves to blame.

15 minutes to tidy
This toy keeps the cats occupied and enables you to get on with housework. Two of our older female cats go quite scatty and our youngest (6mths) enjoys watching them and also playing. The only negative point is the direction of the mirror means you have to have it on very low height or aim the laser at the ceiling.

Great toy!
This is really a great toy. You can hear the motor, but it's quite quiet and doesn't bother the cat. On the contrary, when she hears it, she knows it's time to play. The only star deducted is because the rotation is always the same. You just have to reposition the thing now and then.

You have to be careful.
Our cats absolutely love laser pointers. However, in my opinion, you need to hold it in your hand and keep an eye on the cat during play, as they otherwise have no protection from the laser beam. They might sniff at the internal mirror or knock over the device, as it doesn’t have much stability.

Conflicted
The device itself is still more interesting to my cat than the laser dot. You really have to be careful that the cat doesn’t look directly into the laser. I’m hoping I can find a better spot for it, so she ignores the device and focuses on playing.

Good toy!
I bought this for my two indoor cats because when you come home in the evening, you're just too exhausted and don't feel like playing extensively anymore. As a human, you're already out of breath, but the two of them could keep going for hours.
As soon as I unpacked it and put the batteries in, both of them were immediately fixated on it!
It was wonderfully received, and they only need to hear the sound of the laser to come running and enjoy 15 minutes of entertainment.
The noise level of the device is roughly equivalent to an active printer. It neither scares the cats nor is it particularly bothersome.
The only downside is that it requires 4 batteries, which can get quite expensive over time.

Pretty Good
Overall a good buy. It is noisy & the base can draw more attention than the beam sometimes but when the beam has her attention it works brilliantly. We already knew she was a laser fan & have frequently tired our arms out keeping her entertained...this hands-free alternative does a way better job than us!

automatic laser pointer
I ordered this laser pointer to give my cats a bit more entertainment. Out of the four, three are absolutely thrilled with it. You can either place the device on the floor or set it up on a shelf, allowing you to work with different heights. The integrated mirror is also adjustable, so you can align the laser properly. Of course, you need a bit of space for this – for example, my cats enjoy playing with it in the kitchen and living room.
The only important thing is to throw a catchable toy for the cat after 15 minutes (when the device automatically switches off) so they don’t get frustrated.
This laser pointer is a great choice if you don’t have much time to play with your furry friends but still want to offer them some variety.

Simon loves it
This is our tomcat's favourite toy. At first, he was a bit irritated by the noises the device makes, but now he automatically starts looking for the red dot as soon as he hears it. Sometimes he even stands in front of it, waiting for the laser to be turned on. Our other two cats aren't very interested in it. But not all cats like the same things :-)

FroliCat Bolt Laser
Since my two little rascals (11 months old) are absolutely fascinated by light games, I wanted to try out the FroliCat Laser, and the verdict: they love it. The noise is tolerable, and the laser is so captivating that it completely distracts them—definitely not a bad purchase. The only downside, as with all battery-operated devices, is that the batteries run out too quickly. But it's an absolute hit and definitely worth recommending!

Good lazer beam, slow tracking, quite noisy
My cat loves following this lazer, but still prefers when I use the hand held function. I find on automatic the dot tracks quite slow, then suddenly jumps to a different location and she loses it briefly. She prefers when i move the dot in a smooth but fast motion and will run around after it, less so when its on the automatic function. In principle its a good idea and I don't regret the purchase, but I will be on the look out for a future replacement which is quieter and tracks in a smoother manner.

Loud, but good ;)
The device is, contrary to expectations, not too monotonous; it encourages the kittens (especially in the dark ;) to be active and doesn’t become boring too quickly. It’s great that the laser dot occasionally stops on the floor, allowing the pet to find it again and continue playing. The beam is also projected using a movable mirror.
What I like less is the humming noise, which is tolerable for humans but somewhat irritating for the cats. Still, I’d recommend it if you want to keep your little fluffballs entertained even outside of dedicated playtime.

Brilliant invention
I think it's a brilliant invention because my tomcat sometimes just watches that spot for minutes before he finally decides to move. I, on the other hand, quickly lose the motivation to keep moving the laser pointer back and forth. With this device, he can take as much time as he likes... The only downside is that it only moves in circles – it would be nicer if it moved randomly in all directions.

Pros and Cons
The FroliCat Bolt Laser is a welcome change for our cat; she absolutely loves it. However, it's not particularly quiet, and unfortunately, you can't adjust the speed of the laser.
Still, I would recommend the product.
