Electric Rolling Cat Ball with Birdsong and Rope

This ball is built to keep a cat busy without you. It rolls on its own, and the bird-sound feature adds a chirp to get a bored cat's attention. A soft ribbed silicone shell wraps a clear plastic housing, and a rope tail about 15.7 inches (40 cm) long trails behind for your cat to bat and grab. The ball stands about 2.4 inches (6 cm) tall.

It comes in red, blue, yellow, gray and green, and you can buy one, two or three at a time. A red and gray combination is also offered. Several balls in the same room give two cats something each, or let one cat chase a different color every day.

Put the ball on a smooth floor or low rug where it has room to move and your cat can follow it without getting wedged under furniture. Because the ball moves, it suits cats that like to chase more than cats that prefer to be left alone. Watch the first sessions to see how yours reacts to the sound. Check the rope for wear, and take it away if it frays or comes loose. Wipe the silicone with a damp cloth.
