We have 4 cats, 2 take interest in light pointers and of them, 1 is obsessed with this one. He'll happily chase this and track around the house for hours whereas his sister prefers the standard red light pointer. Each to their own but great value for keeping my Tom cat occupied!

This is not a laser pointer, it is a torch with a fish-shaped stencil on it. If you point it at a wall/the floor more than a couple of metres away, the light dissipates and the cat loses all interest. The same goes if you use it in a room that isn't dark. Please stock a laser pointer, my cat loves them!

I had an old laser pointer. It emits an intensely focused red beam of light that you can see as a single, tiny point on the floor at your feet or at the wall 10 metres way (regardless of whether it's light or dark in your room). The cat runs excitedly all over the house as you move it around. That's what laser pointers do. This product does not do that. Instead, it is like a mini-torch with a stencil over the bulb such that the image (of a fish in this case) is projected. If all the lights are off and you point straight at the floor or at a wall just the right distance away, the cat goes crazy. If the lights are on though, or you point it at a surface a bit further away, the light dissipates entirely. The cat then very quickly cannot see the image (just as you can't) and loses all interest. For the discounted price of £1.89 I guess one cannot complain (hence 2 stars instead of 1). But be aware, this is NOT a laser pointer.

This toy projects a fish on the floor, the main issue with it is that it's not that visible if it's bright in the room. Due to the way the projection works it also expands the further away you shine it meaning it becomes quite indistinct which can lose the pets interest. It's well worth spending the pound or 2 more for the mouse which projects just the red dot as it's much brighter, and can be used over much longer distances!

The fish shape is fun but only really works well in low light, the cats will have nothing to do with this at all they sit and watch the fishy shape run across the floor and then look at me as if to say and what do you want us to do with that :o(

My two cats (and also my dog) will chase this for ages without getting bored. Highly entertaining wee gadget! Only downside is the fact it has a push button to operate it, which has to be held down to illuminate the fish, it would be easier if it was an actual on/off switch. Great value for money though.

It is a funny shape, but can't really see it in normal day light. Laser pens much better

this particular laser toy was a free gift with a previous Zooplus purchase. I have kept it for some time now and for one of my five cats it is his absolute idea of serious playtime fun. I have had to replace the batteries poss every 3 weeks which seems excessive given it only works in the dark and used for a couple of quick 2 minute sessions each evening. The batteries are not cheap compared to the cost of the toy so that is the downside. i think that at the current selling price which includes the batteries its worth a punt but then throw away as thereafter it becomes uneconmical to keep.

My cat loves this toy & would play with it 24/7 BUT it only works in low light levels and the batteries run out very quickly. Which is a pain as I'd need about 5 new ones a week to keep up the pace demanded by my kitty. It is cheap to buy however I will need to get a better one that takes 'normal' batteries. If you are not sure whether your cat will like this kind of toy it is cheap enough as a quick, throw-away test. If your cat already loves laser type toys get a better one.

All my cats love this toy and at such a great price was well worth it. Only downside is it keeps turning off even though you haven't released the button, but really for the price it is a small price to pay.

my kitten has had hours of fun with this toy an i would highly recommend to all cat lovers and very good price

Really cool laser. I must admit I did not read the description so didn't realise it would project the image of a fish but was a fun surprise :). Much enjoyed by both pet and human.

Also I forgot to add that it is a great price also!

My 3 kittens love chasing the fish, as soon as I go to the drawer it's kept in they assume position ready to play & play. the reason I give it 2 stars is because I bought 3 of these, the first was the best the last 2 faded in less than 16 days using only 15-20 mins per day. and with 3 batteries required would cost less to buy new laser torch.

The old red laser dot pointer I had used to send the caats crazy, they would spend ages chasing the dot around the floor. This one is totally ignored, I don't know if its the size of the fish being projected or the colour but the cats are just not interested

I bought this laser as it was cheaper than the pointer I have purchased before. I was slightly unhappy as the fish shape gets very large and feint when shining into a distance of a few meters. My cats much prefer the traditional red pointer,in the "trixie" model sold by zooplus.

I bought this toy thinking it would keep my hyper cat entertained, but well... I think he's too smart to play with a laser pointer. He follows the wee fish on the floor with his eyes, but he won't move, and then he looks up to my hand, kind of like saying "do you really think I'm that stupid?". I was disappointed, but it was kind of funny. I've tried it many other times, but still no luck. He's just not interested. But I give it a "fair" rating because it works properly. Maybe I'll give it away to someone else :)

My Kitty loves this laser toy & runs after it till she's exhausted.

oh my gosh my two cats just go insane for this light toy, both chattering and making noises i which ive never heard before, ive never seen such a reaction to this paticular cat light, its so much better than a plain red lazer light, room has to be fairly dark to get a better view of the fish, but wow of all the toys they have and lazer lights this one with the fish as a light is there favourate, my cats love love this toy and it sure gets them moving, with them being house cats and lazy persian cats great way to exercise them your cats will love this *******

Oh my goodness I only have to touch this LED pen and my cat is all ears!! she even chatters at it (i think she thinks it is a bird!) bless her, really funny and keeps her fit being an indoor cat
