waste of money - doesn't light up

this was an impulse buy which I would immediately regret. neither ball lit up. My guess is that the batteries were old. Because the balls are heavier than others we have, my cats aren't interested in these as they aren't as easy to bat about. If they lit up, Im sure they'd find them more interesting but since they don't, they've got zero appeal. Save your money

Worst cat toy.... of life?

So the first one of these that I tried just did not work at all. The second one did flash, but only for a few minutes and then it died. Even when it was flashing, it's dim and my cats could not have been less interested in it (and they love laser pointers). Be aware that there is no way to turn the balls on & off (just a pull tab that starts it and can never be put back), and that the batteries cannot be replaced. I am honestly surprised anyone even makes this product... so wasteful and useless :(

good

My cat does love these balls but it’d be nice if they stayed lit for more than 5 seconds at a time.

No Interest...

Nothing wrong with mine, but my cat has more interest in small bits of paper, a peanut, and a plastic bag than in these. They don’t seem to stay lit up for long, only about five seconds, not long enough to even hold his attention. He likes laser pointers and things to bat around, just not these. Oh well!

My kitty loved them but one didn't light up

My kitty really enjoys the flicker balls but the batteries cant be replaced and one did not work after opening. She would only play with the lit ip ball so it was dissapointing that one didnt work. For the price i think these toys are great, it would just be expected that both of them light up.

Great kitten toy

Kitten loves these! They do make a decent amount of noise rolling around in wood floor as they are hard plastic.
