Highlighted Reviews

— Cheryl

"The cats have two Turbos and one ball. While I was exploring toys I came across this Twinkle Ball replacement. I need to buy another Twinkle Ball because the white ball isn't as fun."

— Emma

"First one we got arrived dead, Chewy promptly replaced it, but the battery only lasted a few weeks, which is a shame because my cat really liked it!"

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a toy that will keep your cats entertained, this might be a good choice. Just be prepared to deal with frequent battery replacements and potential quality issues.
