USB Smart Rolling or Jumping Ball Toy for Dogs and Cats

This palm-sized electronic ball does the moving so your pet can do the chasing. Tap it to wake it up and it sets off on its own, rolling across the floor or, in the jumping version, bouncing around. That gives a dog or cat something to stalk and pounce on when you are busy.

There are two types. The rolling ball comes in blue or pink, and the jumping ball in blue or orange. Each ball is 1.65 in (42 mm) across, and the weight runs from about 1.8 to 2.9 oz (50 to 82 g) depending on the version. The shell is made of silicone and ABS plastic, and one ball is included. It charges over USB.

Use it on a smooth, open floor where it can travel without getting wedged under furniture. The ball is small, so choose it for pets that will chase it rather than swallow it, and keep play supervised. Put it away when playtime is over so it does not get chewed on.

Wipe the outside with a slightly damp cloth, and keep the charging port dry. This is an electronic toy, so keep it away from water and do not rinse it under the faucet.
