Potaroma Cat Toys 3-in-1 Automatic Interactive Kitten Toy, Fluttering Butterfly, Random Moving Ambush Feather, Track Balls, Dual Power Supplies, USB Powered, Indoor Exercise Cat Kicker (Blue)

NOV 2025 UPDATE: OK, seriously, this is the best toy EVER. My cat STILL absolutely loves this toy, almost 1.5yr later! This toy is on nearly 24/7 and when I have to actually turn it off to change batteries, she gets quite irritated with me! Again, this toy is truly on close to 24/7, and we change batteries every 30-35 days, sometimes goes a bit longer. It's fantastic. It is great about being active for 5mins and going into standby. She quickly learned to give it a little tap with her paw to get it restarted. In the original review I mentioned the beep seeming loud - I suffer from sound sensitivity/misophonia so I am MUCH more aware of sounds... But honestly, after a few days I barely noticed it. Our space is similar to a studio apt, so it's near me all the time, it does startle or bother me, and has never woken me up (I'm SURE she has played with it overnight bc it's still on standby in the morning). The other thing that I had mentioned in the original review, and video, was my concern about having to replace the pieces for the whack-a-mole part of the toy. However, I had this again for almost 1.5 years and I've never had to even think about actually replacing them; my cat will still pull them out and chomp on them, but they're really quite durable. We recently were having a little bit of trouble with the toy, so I contacted customer service. I heard back in under 24 hours and they helped me immediately. My cat Gwen is thrilled to have her fav toy to play with again! So, not only is it a fantastic toy, but their customer service is fantastic as well! They truly, very clearly, value their customers, which isn't always so common nowadays. So, again, just as I did originally in June 2024, I highly recommend this toy. It is something that helps keep my kitty occupied, and I also think in some way it soothes her. I have a couple of other products from this company, and she loves them as well. Definitely a great toy from a great company! (Note that the video attached is from June 2024. The pictures are Nov 2025.) Original Review (June 2024): I adopted Gwendalyn, who is just over a year old, about a month ago. So, she's still getting adjusted to some extent and has a LOT of energy. I have lots of toys for her but she doesn't really seem to know how to play by herself. Which during the day is fine, but at 3am it's rough! So, I looked into interactive toys. Gwen loves her string toys and hunting for toys, so this toy seemed perfect! And it really is. She loves it!! So much so that if she hears the beep from me turning it off, she comes running and whining. So, while I'd originally only intended to have it available to her overnight, it's now a 24/7 toy. You need 4 AA batteries, which I'm fine with, but know it's not a chargeable toy. There is a cord that you can use to plug into the wall, but then the toy has to be by a wall/outlet. Modes are nice, 4 different options. It is good about going into standby after 5mins and shutting off 2hrs later (if toy activated from standby, everything resets time wise). It doesn't really stay put on hardwood floors, which I why I set it on basic grippy shelf liner, which works fine. Only complaints I have are that when toy is reactivated, it beeps a bit loudly (especially if at night and in your room). Not sure why felt need to have it beep for that, as you can hear the toy going, though toy not as loud as the beep). Also, for some reason, when it switches modes, goes into standby, or even turns off, the whack-a-mole piece sometimes stays sticking out. I learned that when I heard, then saw, my cat carrying/dragging the toy across the room with holding that piece in her mouth. It would be nice if it always finished inside the toy. Doubly nice would be if it locked (or something) in place inside, as I now can't use the feather or the floofy feathery strand thingie bc she can very easy dig them out, and will chew and carry the toy using them way more than with just the worm piece. My last issue relates to those whack-a-mole pieces. So, we can only really use the "worm" piece, which is fine as she loves it and she's better with it. But, if I need to replace it, I have to buy a pack that's 2 worms, 2 feathers, and 2 floofy things for around $10...when I will only be able to use 2 of the 6 items. I wish could get individual types so I'm not wasting money. Gripes aside, this toy really is great and at a good price too. Gwen truly loves it and finds it fun and soothing, so that makes me love it. I definitely recommend.

Absolutely the BEST cat toy ever!! Highly Recommend!! Every morning my 12 yr old fat orange tabby is waiting for me to turn it on again. He Loves this! The toy PLAYS with him, and I go work knowing my kitty is entertained. If he stops playing, it will automatically turn on again when bumped within a certain amount time, longer than the 5 minutes the directions say. Multiple settings, so I mix it up for him. Sometimes just the feather teaser, sometimes alternating butterfly and feather, sometimes both at the same time. You can buy extra feathers and butterflys too, when your kitty has "caught" it enough times, you'll want to - easy to swap out. I recommend this toy to everyone with a cat. It is awesome! You can keep it plugged in, or run on long-lasting batteries. Whatever works for you. Well worth every dime! Great toy!

This is the best toy that I have found it stays active for four hours. It’s touch activated and you can keep it plugged in while the cat can use it. other toys you have to charge it and the cat can’t play with it until it’s charged. And I like the alternate settings. The pink setting is my favorite because it has two separate things to entertain my kitty.

It’s a great product. Keeps my kitten busy. However, I dislike that the buttery on top does not stay on. It comes off easily and does not stay in place.

UPDATE: Jun 5, 2023 For durability, I have to give this toy a 1,000-STAR Rating, my cats have dragged this toy all over the house playing with it, they have turned it upside down, pounced on it with full force and this toy has suffered NO DAMAGE whatsoever! First cat toy that seems very impervious to cat's very aggressive behaviors! I have found this toy in one of our 2 bathrooms, in our bedroom under the bed, all over the living room and kitchen/dinging room area. And it hasn't stopped working, even with being dragged, bumped, knocked, turned upside down (while still operating). I am very impressed with how this 3-in-1 cat toy has held up to my cat's abuse of it, and still working. This is one toy I can feel very confident in and has definitely been manufactured very well with a cat's aggressive behavior in mind, definitely would recommend this Potaroma cat toy. Just make sure you buy replacement parts, as cats will murder the feathers and butterflies in about 2 to 3 days, sometimes they may kill one in a day, but most have lasted about 3 days before a replacement is needed, sometimes longer. I just repurchased the second set of replacements for mine and got them in one day, as I had already gone through my first set of replacement toys I purchased at the same time I purchased the main toy, I purchased both replacements, the butterflies and the feathers, each type sold separately. My only small complaint is the one feather that comes with the butterflies, it doesn't have the same type of wire, there is no coiled spring near the bottom of the wire, so it gets bent out of shape much easier than the butterflies do, which makes it a little more difficult to straighten out when the cats bend it to the ground. The coiled wires are a bit better, but I think if the coiled section were a slight bit longer and maybe a little closer to where the wire comes out of the base, then it wouldn't bend over as easily, but like stated, to me, that's a very minor issue. As for battery duration, as stated in my original review I use Amazon Rechargeable batteries for all my devices, and these have held up extremely well in this particular "motorized" cat toy, I keep a spare set recharged for when I need to change the batteries out, and most often they get changed out after 24 hours of use, as my cats play with this toy constantly, it doesn't get much resting time with the number of cats I have activating it, and playing with it. Regular alkaline batteries would have been dead in just a few hours of playtime, so, again, I definitely would recommend the Amazon AA Rechargeable Batteries for this toy, I use the 850mAh in my devices, and they have never let me down yet. I have been using them for a couple of years now, and they have outlasted any other battery, as well as any name brand rechargeable batteries I have used and that have never lasted as long, or as reliable in my devices, unlike the Amazon Rechargeable batteries, they have outperformed and outlasted them all, and I've used a lot of name brand rechargeables over the years, none have even come close to the satisfaction I get from Amazons Rechargeable Batteries! My cats are very happy with this toy and is one of only TWO toys they use every single day and multiple times a day. The only other toy they use daily is a 5 way cat tunnel I bought for them, and yes, I have even found the 3-in-1 toy dragged inside the tunnel toy too. They also love to hide in the tunnel and jump out at the 3-in-1 toy while it's in action. So, if you want an excellent cat toy that is truly durable, this Potaroma 3-in-1 cat toy will do very nicely. I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND this toy as one of the best cat toys out there. BTW: the toy is also very quiet when in operation, it does make some clicking sounds as the feather peeks in and out of the chamber at the bottom, but it's not loud enough to really disturb anyone, that this may depend on the individual. I just know for my wife and I, the clicking isn't all that noticeable, plus when we do hear it, we know the cats are playing with their toy again. :) ========================== END JUNE 5, 2023 UPDATE - Original Review Below =============== DISLIKES: None, just don't know why it is asking for a rating on Suction and Motion Detection, as this toy doesn't have those options, and why I rated those as 1-Star. Likes: At first all, but one of my 3-month-old kittens were hesitant to approach the toy, I have 3 males and 1 female, one male is *ALWAYS* the first to check out any new cat toy, if he plays with it, the others usually follow suit in a very short time, his name is Winterfrost, and he GETS INTO EVERYTHING! LOL My wife did take some video of them playing with the toy on her cell phone, if I can figure out how to get it to my computer, I'll upload it as soon as I can. The other 3 sat and watched, then the other 2 males, named Goldstar and Ezekiel joined in shortly after they saw how much fun Winterfrost was having chasing the butterfly, batting at the balls, and catching the feather, but the lone female (Serena) would still skirt around them and jump out of their way, still unsure about the toy. Eventually, she saw how much fun her brothers were having with it and finally joined in the play, then momma (Lily Blossom) got into the act with her kittens. It arrived somewhere near 2pm, I believe, and they have been playing with it NON-STOP since they got it! It's now almost 5pm, and they are still working on it, although I had to go on a hunt and destroy mission to find the butterfly that Serena (never expected her to be the first one) had managed to get completely off the toy! Winterfrost is who I figured would be the first to get the butterfly off the toy. ROFL I buy and use Amazon Rechargeable AA batteries, and after 3 hours of non-stop action, they are still going strong in the toy, most standard or even alkaline batteries DO NOT hold up nearly this long in a "motorized" for this type of duration. So, I would definitely recommend you buy Amazon AA Rechargeable Batteries for this cat toy, they hold up far longer than any standard battery, I've been using the Amazon AA and AAA rechargeables in many of my cat toys that require batteries, and I have not been disappointed with their performance in such hard, long use, especially in the motorized cat toys! Well worth investing in them, just make sure you get a good charger, one that can handle multiple batteries, I have a 10 Battery Charger for them. And it can also charge 2 9V batteries at the same time, which I have some remote controlled cat toys that use a 9V battery, and I use the in everything battery operated. I can highly recommend this cat toy, even my outdoor cats that come inside under inclement weather or just when they want to come in love this toy, and these cats age in range from 8–11 years old, and even they enjoyed it when the kittens would give them a chance at it! ROFL Oh, and by the way, folks have mistakenly said this toy will not let you have the butterfly and feather both work at the same time, perhaps older models may not, but the one I received has a little white pushbutton next to the switch, that button is for locking the feather in the out position, so it can be changed when damaged or missing from the cats aggressive play, but that button also serves another purpose (the owner's manual covers this), press once after selecting the slide switch position, this button is next to the slide switch, turn on the main switch from off to either feather or butterfly, then press and release the white button, this will turn on both the peek-a-boo feather and have the butterfly flittering around at the same time, but the slide switch must be in either of these two "ON" positions for the button to function, setting both toys in action. As I was writing this review, my cats are finally worn out from all the play and are just resting, but they refuse to go far away from their new toy, and they figured out how to activate it and keep it going for the entertainment, as it never shut off after the 4-minute timer would have run out. I've purchased other types of cat animated toys, laser toys that do things, but this one has to be my kittens and cat's all-time favorite toy, they have NEVER spent 3 hours playing with a single toy before, usually 15–20 minutes, and they're done, this one got a nice 3-hour workout with them right after I got it! Seems to be very durable, even though my cats were dragging it around when they would catch the butterfly and hold it down, playing keep away from the other kittens and cats that wanted it. I had just as much enjoyment watching them take to, then play with this toy for such a long period of time, so unlike most cats, but then I've heard people comment I have some strange and unique cats. ROFLMBO Again, I definitely can recommend this cat toy, and I highly recommend Amazon Rechargeable Batteries for it. Believe it or not, but I have had much longer run times and play time with cat toys with Amazon brand Rechargeable batteries over any other brand of rechargeable, Amazon's Rechargeable batteries surpassed every other "name brand" rechargeable battery I have ever bought, and why I will continue to buy Amazon Rechargeable batteries for all my battery powered cat toys and other battery powered devices. Sure beats having to go out and buy replacement batteries every time they go dead, and I always keep a spare set charged so their playtime is not disrupted for very long! I hope your purr babies enjoy this toy as much as my cats are. This has to be the very best toy I ever bought them. I'd give this toy 100-Stars if I could!

I have owned cats for nearly four decades, and I've spent hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars on toys, beds, trees, etc. I have never spent money for a cat that was this appreciated. The video is from day one, when they're still not sure what's happening, but since then, my girls have not let this toy rest. They know they can turn it on when it's asleep, and they are quite perturbed with us if it falls into deep sleep and requires us having to wake it up for them. My cats have never cared about chasing balls in tracks, but they're even interested in that feature on this toy. We run the butterfly and the peek-a-boo feather at the same time because each of my cats prefers a different feature. When they first "caught" the butterfly and the feather, I was nervous they were tearing up the motors that operate the two features because they weren't allowing them to run properly. I can't say for certain, but from the sound of it, it seems like the toy understands it's "trapped" and stops trying to rotate. When the features were freed, the rotations resumed effortlessly, like nothing ever happened. For scale, my cats are 13lbs and 11lbs fully fluffed, and they can both get to the toy and play with it together, which I personally think is adorable. We've gotten as much entertainment watching them play as they have playing. I feel better knowing that when we're at work all day, they've got a way to keep themselves busy. And because the toy will stay awake for four hours untouched before it goes into deep sleep, I can turn it on in the morning and it will be there for them all day. (They're too interested to leave it alone for too long. As I'm writing this, they've turned it on twice.) Thankfully, it comes with a replacement butterfly and feather. After my cats drag it across the room by the feather for another month or two, I'm assuming it will need changing, although the feather and butterfly both seem pretty tough. Because they love it so much, I'm going to order more replacements so that we're never without this. We're only two weeks in, but I think this one is going to keep their attention long term, and I'm so here for it. Much thanks for a great cat toy that my picky girls actually love!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You guys, you HAVE to get this for your cats and for yourselves! Being honest here by saying this is THE BEST cat toy I have ever purchased! My seven cats thoroughly enjoy this toy. They may even loose a bit of weight. The butterfly sustained a serious injury today - be sure to get extra ones. So fun to watch!

My two kittens loved this toy. It was easy for them to activate and was fun for them. The only downside is that it stopped working a week ago. I purchased this product in September 2025. It worked the day before fine but the next day the internal arm no longer moves. Instead it makes scratching high pitched noise when turned on. I tested the charging port and batteries to see if that was the issues but it was not. The light on the side goes between a blue light and a white light instead of a green light it should have which signifies that the toy is on. I emailed the customer service email on the toy but have not heard back.
