You Are Getting SSSLLLLEEEEPPYYY Very SLLLEEEPPYY,
When I put this toy in front of him, I did not expect the reaction I got.
WHAT IS THIS TOY LIKE?
The toy has a little plastic base on it with a circle on top. This circle goes around but has a wire attached to it. On the end of the wire is a butterfly. The butterfly is made of sheet plastic. Due to a coil at the bottom of the wire, the butterfly bounces as the disc on the base goes around and around.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO OPERATE THE TOY?
This toy takes 1 AAA battery which does NOT come with the toy.
HOW DID OUR CAT REACT?
At first our cat jumped on the toy and tried to play with it, knocking it over. Then he pounced in it. Surely this was a hit.
Then he did something which was so odd that we sat there laughing. He began to watch the butterfly go around and around and around and his head began to go around and around until he entered into what resembled a hypnotic state. He flopped over and closed his eyes and laid there with his paw out as a half hearted attempt to act like he was active, but like he was out cold.
The next day I tried it again. He was ready to go out, but I turned on the toy. Again, he began to watch it go around and around and his head began to bob up and down and his eyes began to get heavy. He flopped over on his side and acted like he was dead for a while. His paw was extended as if he was showing that he had an intention in mind but was too sleepy to do anything about it.
After several experiences like this, I was ready to give this toy a 1 star review (unless you are into training Manchurian Candidate kitties) but then I began to notice something happening.
Our cat began to train himself how to not watch the butterfly go around but to stand there and play with it without tipping it over. He has gotten the rhythm down pretty well and like jumping rope, if you have ever seen the groups on the playground doing it, he has gotten the hang of it and is playing with it like a lost art.
THE BOTTOM LINE
At first this hypnotized our cat repeatedly making us think it was a lost cause, but our cat rose to the challenge as he figured out how to play with this butterfly toy without tipping it over and making it malfunction. He likes to stand there and bat it like a ball as it goes by. When he gets tired of it, he sticks his paw forward and knocks it over and walks away. When he wants to play with it, he stands next to it and meows. It does take a few ” hypnotic” episodes before he can play though.
I wonder if there is any valuable use for a hypnotized cat..
I give this four stars but it is more like a 3 and a half. I wish the base was a bit sturdier and did not tip over quite as easily.

|Cat LOVES it! Base is hopeless, needs modify, butterfly has a short life span, NO REPLACEMENT available. COMPLAIN to company!,
ORIGINAL REVIEW: We’ve spent many dollars on cat toys, most of them wind up being flops as far as holding cat’s attention, many are flops right out of the box, but this guy is a HUGE hit! Our cat absolutely LOVES his butterfly and hasn’t tired of it yet. I always take it away and put it up before he gets tired of it and walks away , trying to keep it “fresh”. The non-annoying fluttering sound it makes seems to add to the enjoyment. It does sound rather like a big bug flying about. I don’t know how we’ll ever find another toy to compete! However, I am deducting two stars for the fragility of the butterfly, which maybe can’t be helped. In order for it to fly around in circles on an extremely light wire and one small battery for any length of time, it has to be made of super light material, but the poor little guy was maimed after the first day, dead after a week. I’ve tried taping some of the pcs on, they don’t stay. I’ve attached light-weight feathers, they don’t interest our cat like the butterfly did. I wish they sold replacement butterflies but they don’t. So, even with a relatively reasonable $10 price tag for the unit, the fragility of the butterfly and no replacement available means buying the whole thing over and over if your cat really loves it, making this toy more expensive than it seems at first, and that’s not counting the batteries. Also, as others have mentioned, the base is so small and light weight, it’s useless, and you’re going to have to come up with some kind of modification to keep it upright. We had a 10″ plastic wall clock that quit working a few days ago and was still laying around, took the unit off the back of the clock, the clear cover and numbered face off the front and taped the base of the toy to the round plastic frame of the clock, which works perfectly. The battery life is better than I thought it would be with only one AAA battery powering it, but you better stock up. If your kitty loves its butterfly as much as Buster loves his, you’ll need a bunch…..unless, of course, your cat really goes after the little butterfly, in which case it’ll be dead in a week, and you won’t have to worry about batteries.
