Goodish but battery runs out
My toothless older Persian cat liked these but one arrived not working and now they are finished I don’t know which battery to get. They only work on hard surfaces.

The red top bit falls off
My cat wasn't that interested. But the top red bit keeps falling off which basically leaves a vibrating black rectangle.

Cat loved them
Out of 3, 2 worked, ordered more as they keep my cat entertained. Don't work on carpet so I brought some lino and put toilet rolls and ping pong balls on it.

Your input necessary
This isn't the kind of toy you leave on the floor for your cats to get on with...abd I think the manufacturer needs to step up here.
I have found success by
1) limiting the time play which means that when they're brought out again, it's new and exciting
2) these toys needs obstacles...they go around in circles because they're designed to bump off things then change direction! Put down empty toilet/kitchen rolls, put small obstacles in the way etc.
Most importantly, stay to supervise & interact.

great toys
put the insect toy in the plastic ring with the balls, it will push the balls around and wont get lost under the sofa. Its a double win!

Not working long
The 3 bug toys looked really nice they worked for a few minutes or just round in a circle i would not recomend them for a chase toy ok as a toy to bat around but nothing else

Good thing they were cheap
Basically they just go round and round in very small circles. My boys were not impressed

Keeps them entertained for ages!
I've got 6 cats and they all love these, especially the beetles. Some of them are more fascinated, following them around and occasionally tentatively prodding, rather than pouncing.

Battery last 10 mins max
I think this is a great toy if the battery would be included to last more than 10 mins. I have ordered 3 of the items and o2 of them did not work at all, the other 2 run for 10 mins max

Fell apart - exposed batteries
I bought one of these bugs and when it arrived I put it out for my cats - they actually showed little interest in it. When switched off one of them started to play with it and within a couple of seconds it broke in half - exposing the workings and the cell batteries.
Luckily I saw him do this and removed it from him - thankfully he did not swallow the batteries but this is obviously a danger not only to animals but children as well.
think they should be taken off sale TBH

Ok for the price.
I ordered 2 of these and I wasn't pleased that the battery on one went within 5 minutes and the other didn't work at all. After buying batteries I let my girls play with them and they seemed to like them. The yellow bug goes very slowly and sort of round in circles. The purple one was faster and did just go round and round. They are very easy to flip over and I found myself flipping them back several times but my girls liked them and had fun playing with them which was the point of getting them so worth it for the price.

Not bad! could be better.
Got the Beetle, but it just keeps going round in small circles, I have a large decorative pot, get the Beetle to go round and round the base of the pot, which is quite exciting for the cat as the beetle moves out of sight and this is the exciting bit.

4 cats 1 bee..
All my cats love this. One will just watch from a distance but they are all interested. Works great on laminate and even turned off the kittens will still play with it. Simple and effective!

Not a hit
Cats looked at it and then walked away. Seems to work ok but goes round in circles and both cats were pretty "meh" about it (ladybird bug)
