Trixie Turbinio Cat Toy with Motor and Mouse

Tried every which way to open and install battery, but it isn’t working. Can’t open casing.

This does not move as smoothly as I hoped. Cat will occasionally chase ot when switched on but much prefers when it is switched off to play with the mouse and make it move himself.

It’s very loud, cats are afraid of it and it’s not working properly - the movement is only working 1/5 times. Even without turning it on, the cats show no interest in the mouse. Usually every toy is very interesting so no idea why this is not accepted.

Great product, it makes it's way ALL over the house, where most toys like this just roll around in a small pattern. My cat just likes to follow it around the house watching it get stuck in corners, but that's just typical for him

The motor is too loud and bumps into furniture making it extra loud. Cats scared by sound.

My rescue kitty was born with feline herpes and the disease attacked her sinus passages. Sweet little baby girl lost both her eyes and now has constant congestion, so her sense of smell keeps her from smelling cat nip. As you can imagine, it is very hard finding her toys but this ball is great. I attached a bell so that she has an easier time tracking it and she loves it.

It is quite loud and large discourages my cat to chase the toy. He is watching and following it around but seems unsure whether it is safe to touch the mouse. Maybe a longer line for the toy madethe cats bolder. The ball finds its way really well, almost never gets stuck under or behind furniture and moves well on carpet and hard floor alike.

This is an easy to assemble toy. The instructions regarding the battery were not clear. It said A4 so we ordered this battery type especially. Turns out it actuallly takes AA batteries. The boys like it when the motor is off but it terrifyd them when turned on.

If you have a confident cat, they will love this toy! It is a bit noisy but my Tom loves it, and tries to 'bunny-kick' the poor mouse to death until it moves away again... all in all good toy for the money!

My cat doesn't quite know what to make of this. She jumps back when it comes towards her, but follows it when it moves away. It does keep her interested for hours though. The only drawback is that the on/off switch started to play up, on investigation I found that part of the switch had broken off. As I have opened it I am not claiming the warranty, but I am buying her another one.

Unfortunately, this ball is noisy and quite fiddly to get going with a AA battery. It also can't manage the transition from laminate to carpet and just ends up stuck in the next corner, rattling away. My cats looked at it in confusion but didn't have any fun with it. On smooth floors, it might be fun for more robust cats – I wouldn't rule that out!

Absolutely not recommended for purchase

Battery not included (1xAA). Makes a huge noise, not a quiet motor. Rolls very slowly and as soon as it bumps into something, it really struggles to get moving again. The cat isn't stimulated by it at all, just lazily follows it around. Waste of money.

My cat loves it! I’d already bought one before, but after three years of playing with it, the string finally gave out—which is totally normal. So I’m happily buying another one. The product’s durability for the price is excellent.
