Why it matters
Cats love pouncing on things moving under a blanket. Potaroma's motion ball zips around beneath a play mat at random, so cats stalk and swat the lump.
It's motion activated.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Blanket pouncers
- Indoor cats
- Kittens
Look elsewhere if
- Cats frightened by motor noise
- Unsupervised play with loose parts
- Owners expecting it to replace play time with you
Pros and cons
Pros
- Motion activated
- Random motion
- Mat included
Cons
- Mat needs space
- Ball can stall
- Charging
Limitations to weigh
- Rotate toys every few days; cats lose interest in a toy that's always out.
- Supervise play with strings, wires and small parts, and put them away after.
- End each session with a catch: a treat or a toy your cat can grab.
