"My cat is 19, never interested in a laser before, decided to try this one (it's not a red dot, just a white picture of a mouse). He was chasing it and interacting with it! I think it's easier to see for him and he's still playing with it"

"This is the worst, light too dim and my cats don’t have any interest in it. Total waste of money. I want my money back so I can go to the dollar store and buy one for half the price and actually works."
