Smart Electric Cat Toy Ball with Silicone Tail
Smart Electric Cat Toy Ball with Silicone Tail
The tail is the part that makes it read as prey.
A plain ball rolls true. This wobbles, with a silicone tail dragging and flicking behind it, which is what turns a cat's interest from a glance into a proper stalk.

THE FULL DETAIL
Everything worth knowing
Full specification
A 57mm rechargeable toy ball with a silicone tail that rolls and squeaks on its own, in two speeds, for up to four hours a charge.
The tail is the part that matters. A plain ball rolls; a ball with a trailing tail moves like something alive, and that is what turns a cat's interest from a glance into a proper stalk.
It moves like prey, not like a ball
Cats hunt movement that is erratic and slightly wrong. The weighted ball wobbles rather than rolling true, and the silicone tail drags and flicks behind it, which reads to a cat as an animal rather than an object.
It makes noise too, which triggers the same response as a rustle in long grass. That combination of sound and unpredictable movement is why a cat will chase this after ignoring a static toy for weeks.
Two speeds for two kinds of cat
Normal mode is a steady wander, which suits a cat that likes to stalk and pounce. Crazy mode is faster and more erratic, for a young cat that wants a flat-out chase.
At 66 grams a cat can bat it hard across a room, so it is a two-way game rather than something they only watch.
Built to be bitten
The shell is ABS with silicone, chosen because cats catch this and carry it in their mouths. It resists chewing rather than splitting into pieces the first time a cat gets a proper grip on it.
The 300mAh battery gives two to four hours of running and six days on standby, charged over USB at 5V.

Worth knowing before you buy
- This is a supervised toy. The silicone tail is a detachable part and a cat that chews rather than chases could swallow a piece of it. Put it away between sessions.
- Check the tail for damage before each use, and stop using it if it is chewed through.
- It makes a noise while running, which is the point for the cat and worth knowing if you want a quiet room.
- Some cats, particularly nervous or older ones, are frightened by a toy that moves by itself. Introduce it in a large room with an escape route.
- It works best on hard floors. Deep carpet slows it considerably and shortens the run time.
- Cats lose interest in any toy that is always out. Rotating it away keeps it working.
- Orders are dispatched within 7 to 10 working days. See our shipping policy for the full detail.
