Transparent Flower Tea Cup

My cat is extremely picky with toys. Most of the time she’ll sniff them, maybe paw once, and then completely ignore them. When I turned this fish on for the first time, it flopped and she immediately froze, stared at it, and then jumped on it. She was biting it, kicking it with her back legs, and wouldn’t let it go. I’ve never seen her react that strongly to a toy before. She plays with it every day now, and I can tell she actually gets tired afterward, which is huge for an indoor cat.

I work long hours and always felt bad that my cat didn’t get enough stimulation during the day. I bought this hoping it would keep him busy for short periods, but it actually keeps him engaged way longer than I expected. He’ll tap it, it starts moving, and then he goes straight into hunt mode. After playing, he’s calmer and more relaxed instead of pacing or meowing for attention. It’s become part of our daily routine now.

My cat used to get the worst zoomies at night and would run around knocking things over. Since getting this toy, I let her play with it in the evening and she burns off so much energy. After that, she just curls up and sleeps. I didn’t expect a toy to actually change her behavior, but it really has.

I have an indoor cat who always seemed “fine,” but looking back, I think he was just under-stimulated. He would nap most of the day and then get random bursts of energy at night. When I introduced this fish, I honestly didn’t expect much. But the moment it started flopping, he froze and stared at it like it was alive. Then he pounced. He grabbed it, bit it, kicked it with his back legs, and carried it across the room. I’ve never seen him react like that to a toy before. Now he plays with it daily, and after playtime he’s noticeably calmer and more relaxed. It honestly feels like he finally has an outlet for instincts he hasn’t been able to use indoors.

I’ve tried feather wands, laser pointers, balls you name it. They all work, but only if I’m actively playing with my cat. I wanted something she could enjoy on her own, especially while I’m working. This fish solved that problem. She taps it, it starts moving, and she goes into full hunt mode. She stalks it, waits, attacks, and then repeats. I don’t have to do anything. The best part is that she actually looks satisfied afterward instead of still demanding attention. It’s been a huge quality-of-life improvement for both of us.
