Why it matters
Play 2 adds a built-in laser toy you steer from your phone or set to autoplay, so you can play with your cat from anywhere. Petcube says the laser is safe for pets and people.
It streams 1080p with a 160° ultra-wide view and has two-way audio. Setup takes about a minute on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Playful indoor cats
- Owners away all day
- Bored cats
Look elsewhere if
- Cats that get frustrated by lasers
- 5 GHz-only routers
- Treat-motivated cats
Pros and cons

Limitations to weigh
