I've just tried this type of toy with my cat and neither battery type ones I bought seem to interest him. I used this one on a kitchen floor which has pretty flat carpet tiles and it did not move around so I would recommend a hardfloor only. I put it in a box my cat plays in, and it did move around but DC looked at it and then at me as if to say, really this is the best you can do. He likes to chase the dangler toys or ball so I'll stick to those.

the bug is very slow. I was expecting a bit more speed. both of my cat's have no interest in it at all:(

I received the lady bug version and it was great on wooden flooring (although a little noisy)and I found it had all of the movements promised by the description, such as scuttering and turning around, and my cat loved it. However the battery ran out after half an hour which was really disappointing! I've read in a previous review that you can purchase replacement batteries and I will probably look at buying some. I contacted the customer service team to discuss this and they were extremely helpful and I would give them a 5* review.

This toy just rotates always in the same direction drawing a very little circle. It's also very slow. As soon as you touch it, it stops working until you turn it off and on again. The actual behaviour doesn't correspond to the description at all

Get rid of the Bee and keep the ladybird or purple beetle. My cat enjoyed this toy. Great on the lino or wooden floors. The battery did run low quickly, however you can buy a pack of 20 batteries to fit this from Poundland so no big deal for the cats amusement.

My little lady absolutely loves her purple buggy bug. She spends ages chasing him on my laminate flooring. She bats him with her paw to make him change direction and flips him over and over. My other cat is not a playful boy but will allow approx 5 mins of his time to bat the bug Which to be fair is an excellent review from him.I just wish I could get a full set rather than randomly selected.but definitely 10/10 in entertainment for all of us.

The battery ran out after an hour .. Only works on a hard floor, though cat was interested in it while it lasted

These are the best toys my 3 cats have ever seen (and they have LOTS of moving toys)!! Both M + F 12-yr olds + young kitten go mad over the purple beetle. It needs a hard floor + if it stops too quickly, just turn the tiny screw a bit and it goes again. It stops after about 10 mins to cool down, but that works fine because they still try to make it move again. Even on its back it whirrs around and has them all baffled and mad with energy. I will get a few more "bugs" so that when they chase it into a corner and it's lost for a bit, I have another one ready.

I thought this would be a cheaper version of hexbug but it's nowhere near as good. First of all it doesn't avoid obstacles it hits them and just gets stuck. Secondly, and this might be a fault with mine, I don't know- it only goes round in irregular circles, so no "darting across the floor" ... Cat isn't interested other than pawing at it when switched off :/

The ladybird and beetle toys were fantastic, well designed, and my cats love them. Unfortunately the clear plastic wings on the bee shattered as my cat picked it up in his mouth; luckily I was there to prevent him eating the sharp pieces.

Don't bother buying these. They are tiny - one of the wings fell off as I took it out of the packet & it ran for approx. 30 seconds before the batteries gave up. Cats didn't even get a chance to see it in action.

This toy provided hours of entertainment after arriving this morning! It's darting all over my vinyl kitchen floor and both cats are obsessed with it. Even when they flip it on it's back, it still moves, just not as far. Great idea.

My cats broke this the same day just batting it across the floor and when it hit the wall the wings broke off and left extremely sharp shards as I got the black and yellow bug and the wings are not soft and are hard thin plastic. I removed the shards of wings and within a couple more hits, the bug no longer turns on either and I will mention too that MY bug only turned in a small circle and did not change direction so I don't know if that is a flaw or if they are all like that. It is a cute idea, but the black and yellow one is also a bit of a danger.
