1,062 customers mention "Functionality"483 positive579 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the pet toy's functionality. Some find it works well in low-lit rooms, dark rooms, and even daylight. They can adjust the angle so it works on a higher area like a table. Others report that the laser stopped functioning within a few hours or weeks.

"...It's HEAVEN. However, the first Frolicat within a few hours stopped working. I was devastated, probably more than he was...." Read more

"...It works very well in low lit rooms, dark rooms, and even daylight to some degree but darker is better especially if you cannot see all the things..." Read more

"...good as the one I bought years ago, it's slower and the laser sounds like it's about to die. It's not batteries, I have put new in them...." Read more

"...I suppose the other best thing about this toy is that it works...." Read more

714 customers mention "Cat interest"367 positive347 negative

Customers have different views on the cat's interest in the pet toy. Some find it useful for cats who like to jump up walls, and it keeps their cats busy when they don't have time to play. Others mention that their cats get bored with it after about 1 or 2 minutes, and the sound can be a distraction.

"...✅ Works best on elevated surfaces ✅ Keeps cats engaged with moving light 🔻 A few downsides:..." Read more

"...rotates in a circle/oval, often very quickly and suddenly, my cat loses sight of it and interest in it. Will likely return it." Read more

"...In summary, my 1 year old would say the FroliCat is a MUST HAVE for all active kitties...." Read more

"The automatic setting is too random, and my cat has no interest in chasing the light...." Read more

683 customers mention "Battery life"386 positive297 negative

Customers have different experiences with the battery life of the pet toy. Some say it lasts 15 minutes, with the automatic mode turning on every hour for 15 minutes. Others report that it goes through batteries quickly, draining them within a day. The laser light dims or goes out at times, and the toy hasn't been used rough or dropped.

"One of my cats favorite toys. Does not really use up batteries fast. I keep mine on the edge of my coffee table. A friend of mine hangs hers...." Read more

"...#3. It has a time limit of 15 minutes, far too short for my kitties! I had to keep powering the unit on after its time limit of 15 minutes expired...." Read more

"...The batteries have lasted quite some time. I plan to buy some rechargables not only to save money but for conservation reasons as well...." Read more

"...As the mirror and laser are both motor controlled, it goes through batteries quite quickly; but you could fix this with rechargeable ones...." Read more

716 customers mention "Speed"171 positive545 negative

Customers dislike the pet toy's speed. They say the light moves too rapidly for their eyes to follow, and the movement pattern is kind of dumb. The slower pace of the mechanism can't keep her fully engaged, and the circular patterns don't even move very far. Some mention that the laser lit up but the motor wouldn't move, and there are only two speeds - automatic and manual.

"...It only moves in a circle—would love more random patterns. It runs on AAA batteries—a rechargeable option would be amazing!..." Read more

"...3. The motor is slow. --..." Read more

"...The light swirls in slow patterns, jumps in fast leaps, and holds still for a few seconds so that my lazy calico can leap on it and cover it with..." Read more

"...The only thing I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t move up/down...." Read more

677 customers mention "Noise level"138 positive539 negative

Customers dislike the noise level of the pet toy. They mention it squeaks loudly, the motor creates a loud whirring sound, and the gears inside are grinding.

"...2. it is LOUD. Okay, maybe LOUD is a little too much, not like boom boxes on the subway in the 80's, but not what I expected either...." Read more

"...Cons: - It really is quite loud, so if you live in a very quiet home or you want to use the is as entertainment when you are trying to go..." Read more

"...One minor thing I don't like is that this toy is pretty noisy, if you ask me. It reminds me of one of those remote control cars kids use...." Read more

"...The sound is soft enough to not really bother a human (although you probably wouldn't want to sit next to it while you watch TV), but it is distinct..." Read more

574 customers mention "Build quality"163 positive411 negative

Customers are unhappy with the pet toy's build quality. They find it unstable, with an unsteady shape and limited pattern options. The build has a cheap feel and tips over easily.

"...It has fallen on ceramic tiles with feline assistance many times and the mirror control is now taped in place...." Read more

"...it's overall a poorly designed device when you consider there's no stability factor to weigh it down, and protect it from the sudden falls, bangs..." Read more

"...Overall this is a well built toy, even turns itself off in 15 minutes..." Read more

"...And that perch had better be stable, because this thing falls over quite easily due to the pivoting laser pointer inside...." Read more

Pretty good.
3 out of 5 stars
Pretty good.
Would be better if laser had a wider swing, different sets for speed, and a third eye that has shutter phaser and strobe effect.

    We Love this thing! The first thing I noticed about it was it's patterns are pretty predictable BUT only in a linear situation like putting it on a large floor area and letting it go. It seems ideal but really the best way to use this is to put it in a smaller room with a lot of things the laser can bounce off of (ride over). As it moves about the room it 'rides' the surface area of whatever is in it's way (which can lead to some cool light stretching/dot streatching/morphing effects with the light seen best in a dark room), this changes the very dynamic of how it looks in different rooms.

    You can also get a couple of these (especially if you have more than 1 cat) and have them creating chaotic dots to follow or to choose. As for the complaints that it's static and redundant/predictable, changing the angle of where it's sitting, adding obstacles especially those that reflect (semi reflecting is best), and just be creative with the physics of how the light travels and you'll find this is one cool toy (even the adults are mesmerized by it if you set the room up right). I like to hold it and watch it travel and adjust course (to keep it dynamic for the cat even a twitch in any direction changes it's flow).

    Overall this is a well built toy, even turns itself off in 15 minutes (I think going too long the cat loses the curiosity of it so I leave it off and when she bugs me to turn it back on (and she does) I do. I change things in the lights potential path so she doesn't catch on that it's redundant.

    I thought my cat would attack the unit but she just didn't- she looked at it for a few micro-seconds then the light darted her attention. It works very well in low lit rooms, dark rooms, and even daylight to some degree but darker is better especially if you cannot see all the things the light is traveling over (creating distortions like the Enterprise going into Warp! ...is what it looks like). The light is a bright dot about 10x the size of a normal dot I think, but the dot is so bright (and even has an 'aura' around it ) that it morphs over things in the room it passes over. If you turn off the lights you can see a whole different perspective, but cats will dart into anything so make sure everything is safe :). We found our staircase (townhouse standard straight staircase with deep vaulted ceiling; lots of wall area and the beige stairs light up nicely- it's an incredible effect in a staircase hallway although part of it pushes the dot way beyond the cats jumping reach but that's when they stare and build up anticipation. I used it to get her to play with the cat tunnel toy too that I bought with this, and anxiety (the toy crackled like grocery bags so it scared her) disappeared. All in all it is what you think it is but use your head and don't just throw it in a large floor space or you may think it's stupid and ridiculous (I saw a video on YouTube of someone doing this and feared this was going to suck but it CERTAINLY DOESN'T! (My cat is right now nudging me to turn it back on as I write this). If you have a cat or several this is an amazing toy.

    After reading reviews I thought it would be great but that it would be nothing like the commercial or box described it but I find in the right room (not too big or if big with lots of things for the 'light' to 'ride' makes for human and cat entertainment. I don't recommend just a large floor, it just gets old fast.

    FroliCat Bolt Laser Toy / B0021L8W6K

    I wasn't too certain about buying this toy for my cats' fifth birthday. I knew that they like to chase lasers, so that wasn't the problem - my concern was that they don't like to STOP chasing lasers. Our last foray into laser pointer territory ended with me letting the laser dot "escape" through an air vent in the wall, thinking that would end the game - no, they just sat vigil under the air vent for five hours. I didn't want a repeat of that.

    On the other hand, they are housecats and seem pretty bored and listless, and they definitely need the exercise, so I broke down and bought this... and could not be happier.

    The best thing about this laser toy is that if has a mechanical 'servo' sound - a kind of light-pitched soft whirring and turning whenever it is in operation. The sound is soft enough to not really bother a human (although you probably wouldn't want to sit next to it while you watch TV), but it is distinct enough for a cat to hear it in the other room and come running. The practical upshot of this is that your cats figure out really quickly that the magical laser dot ONLY appears when the whirring noise turns on. So if the whirring noise goes off, the laser is gone, and they don't hunt endlessly for it. Indeed, my most active cat has figured out that the laser dot COMES from the whirring thing and will lead me to its spot on the table and demand that I push the button to activate it. Awesome.

    I suppose the other best thing about this toy is that it works. It's silly that has to be a product 'plus', but such is the state of the cat toy industry these days, I suppose. But boy, does this thing work! It takes 4 AA batteries, and I recommend they be fully charged (try Eneloop batteries, you won't be disappointed) in order for the light to be as bright as possible. We have the toy sitting on a coffee table, with the adjustable mirror set to the perfect angle so that the light appears on the carpet a few feet away. The light swirls in slow patterns, jumps in fast leaps, and holds still for a few seconds so that my lazy calico can leap on it and cover it with both paws. The best part is that the cats never seem to get frustrated with not being able to 'catch' the light - they seem to recognize that it's a game, not real prey, and that's fine with me. My tuxedo always plays, but sometimes my calico just likes to lay on the floor and watch the light. Thy both come running at full speed, though, when they hear that motor start.

    The toy has a fifteen minute shut-off point so you can turn this on and leave the room without worrying that your cats will make themselves sick chasing a dot for hours. It's as easy as putting the batteries in (with an easy sliding-door chamber - no tricky maneuvering required), setting it down on a table, and pressing a button to turn on. If you want it to shut off before the 15 minutes are up, you press the button again. So easy! I am seriously considering buying more of these - one for each room in the house.

    We use this often, and the cats love it! The auto-off feature and random automation keep them entertained without me having to constantly reset it. It’s a fun way to keep them active!

    ✅ Auto-shutoff & hands-free play
    ✅ Works best on elevated surfaces
    ✅ Keeps cats engaged with moving light

    🔻 A few downsides:

    The play area is too small unless placed really high up.
    It only moves in a circle—would love more random patterns.
    It runs on AAA batteries—a rechargeable option would be amazing!
    Overall, it’s a solid laser toy that the cats enjoy, but with a few small tweaks, it could be even better.

    Reviewed in Germany on February 5, 2021
    Verpackung war bei nach der Lieferung beschädigt, das Produkt nicht. Es war nicht zu hören, allerdings auch sehr schlecht zu sehen. Ich konnte dem roten Punkt anfangs kaum folgen, vor allem weil er unter anderem an die Wand projiziert. Da wollte ich auch ungerne, dass meine Katzen dort hochspringen.

    Leider haben sie den Punkt gar wahrgenommen. Fanden es eher hinderlich, dass Frauchen ihnen wieder was in den Weg gestellt hatte☺️

    Allerdings fanden die Katzen meiner Freundin dieses Spielzug atemberaubend gut. Daher denke ich, dass es eher an meinen gealterten Katzendamen lag, dass sie es nicht wahrgenommen haben.

    Daher ist das Produkt gut für junge verspielte Katzen. Für ältere Damen eher nichts. Und man sollte es nur in Räumen aufstellen, wo die Kleinen genug Platz zu springen und klettern haben bevor private Dinge zusätzlich Schaden nehmen

    5.0 out of 5 stars Is this the best cat toy ever? (Yes!)
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 11, 2015
    Is this the best cat toy ever? I think so. And I'm sure the cat thinks so too. It runs for 15 minutes and then turns off which is about perfect (cat starts to tire after 10 minutes and is bored at 15). It provides a laser red dot for your cat to chase around and the movement suitably variable to keep him interested - including pausing for a few seconds to keep him interested. We keep ours on a shelf about a metre off the floor tilted down so that the dot roams about the floor but occasionally up the wall. Well worth the 5 stars the money. I had a slight issue with the first one but a free replacement came very quickly (thank you). When this is off my cat sits on the floor looking up at it. I think he wants me to switch it on but I try to do it only once a day so he doesn't get bored with it. It is a little noisy - sounds a bit like a child's wind up toy.
