Eyenimal - Automatic Laser

This is an automatic laser toy for cats.

It has three settings; slow, medium, and fast.

I like this for when I have to do things but the kittens want to play.

It doesn't turn of automatically, which  is good and bad.
Good because it doesn't turn off when they are playing.
Bad because when the get bored of it and turn it off, they always look so sad (even if they were only lazily watching it while sitting in a box).

I also like how the laser is angled down so it can't shine in their eyes.

It takes AA batteries and these last a long time.

This is a really great cat toy! 

*Just after I hit publish on this, PB kicked it by accident and now it no longer moves the laser around. It's not his fault, there are cat toys (and things the kittens think are toys) everywhere. XD

** A few weeks later and I fixed it!

Venkon - Electronic Stake Butterfly in Glass - Blue

I got this for the kittens to play with.

They like chasing flies, so I thought they might like it.

It is activated by touch - being hit/tapped. It isn't really affected by sound.
It takes three AAA batteries and they last a long time, which is nice.
It lights up when activated, which I would prefer it didn't, it makes it less natural.

The twins are curious about it, they like how it flutters, stops, then flutters again,

Phil is curious. 

They don't like it when they accidentally knock it while running around. 

Then it is scary.

Would I get it again if I went back in time? Probably not.

It's too spooky most of the time for my kittens XD

*Toy Idea: Save a piece of curling ribbon from a gift and tie it to a piece of furniture. My kittens think this is captivating.

Price: 2/5 ($29.70 for one)

Effectiveness as a cat toy: 2.5/5 (too scary)
