My two cats absolutely loved this, however one major issue with this.. It gets easily lost.. it goes anywhere and everywhere in your house, under furniture, under chairs, couches, or anywhere i can fit, and sometimes rolls over electrical cords and gets it self trapped.. or maybe it's battery runs coincidently runs out while it is out of sight.. so as a result I have no idea where it went or where it is, so unless i start moving all my couches and chairs, looking under any gaps under cabinets, searching every single crevice and nook and cranny, it is essentially lost.I absolutely love this device, and so do my cats but it's such a chore to try to find it when it gets itself lost somewhere...So I'd love to see in a future version a chirp feature implemented, where either:1. it occasionally chirps once every minute or so when it's on, OR2. maybe a low battery chirp, where when the battery drops below a threshold, it stops the motors (to spare the remaining power) and begins to chirp.Either one may help to find it when it manages to get itself trapped somewhere and gives you a chance to know where it is.

I have 3 indoor cats that are entertained constantly with this ball. It’s great! A bit pricey but well worth it. Other reviews stated it doesn’t work well on carpet so I was Leary but I have wood floors with area rugs and it rolls over all just fine. Charge it up for a full day of activity. I turn it off at night and the cats are looking for it in the morning. Love that it bounces and rolls, changes direction, sits still for a while and then starts up again. My cats love it. Has different settings, on/off switch and a glow stripe. I got the 2025 enhanced model.

Not the quality and “upgrade” we were hoping for. It costs about $10 more than its predecessor, easily gets stuck or lost in the house, and it’s a real chore finding it because the ball goes to “sleep” often if our cat stops playing with it. The ball spins in place, rarely rolling, and bounces excessively which the cat hates and stops playing with it. Needs charging all the time, charge doesn’t last long.Update 01/22/2025: Lowered stars-rating to 1, the ball appears to operate marginally and for now remains durable. The ball it’s replacing is the same brand which lasted only 6 weeks before the button cover came off causing it to wobble more than roll. This “upgrade” model doesn’t hold our cat’s attention and is a waste of money.No recommendation here.

For what it is, a cat toy, it's pretty well-built and solid. I have no idea about electronic longevity, but it certainly won't physically break via cat.However, it's also a simple mechanism, a counterweight spinning around in a circle. I don't really think there's 35 dollars worth of features here.You can buy these exact things for under 10 dollars or even 5 else where, under a different name. I would say save your money and buy a cheaper, simpler one. It's all the same under the hood, a spinning counterweight.

My cat is really interested in this thing, but hasn’t quite figured out what to do with it yet lol. I like that the movements and directions are random and that I can just let it run while I work from home and it’ll keep him busy! Easy to use, holds a charge, good size, 3 speed settings - great for cats that love ground hunting!I may have to return this, though, because of the bouncing and vibrating. I live in a loft apartment building with hardwood floors… and this thing really does bounce and it sounds like a massive rabbit up here thumping. SOOO LOUD!!! I really wish there was a setting to roll without thumping.And for the record, I still think this is a really good product and it would do someone else’s cat well in a house or a carpeted home! I do not recommend this for anyone in an apartment with hard floors, unless you’re at war with your neighbors.

I truly love this cat toy! With five cats ranging from 2-year-old twins to a senior, we rarely find a toy they all enjoy. I'm pleased to report that ALL of our cats play with the Wicked Ball. Three will chase it on any mode, while the two more demure cats are a bit intimidated by the Bounce and Hybrid modes and prefer the gentler Rolling mode.Our house is half carpet, half tile/hardwood. On hard floors, the most intense Bounce mode can be a bit noisy - if you live in an apartment, your downstairs neighbor will probably hate this toy. On carpet, the Rolling mode sometimes struggles to move quickly and just wobbles in place, which delights our most skittish cat. This suits our family perfectly - we can tire out the kittens with an hour or so of Bounce mode, then switch to Hybrid or Rolling so the older cats can enjoy some calmer playtime.We get about 5 hours of playtime per charge and it charges fast. I really love that it matches cats' natural hunting rhythm; they're ambush predators, built for short bursts of high energy. The Cheerble runs wild for 10 minutes, then rests for 20-30 minutes, allowing just enough time for the cats to catch their breath and start to look for ways to cause mischief... then the ball zooms off again and they're on the hunt!We did go on a bit of a wild goose chase searching for a smoke detector the first time we heard the ball’s end-of-play chirps. Now that we know what it sounds like, we love that feature—the ball basically tells you “Hey, I’m over here! Charge me please!” It's easy to find no matter where the cats have carried it off to. The "obstacle avoidance" feature actually works like they say it does; we've had it for a few weeks and the ball hasn't gotten lost under the couch or refrigerator, and it bounces itself free when it gets stuck in a corner.Overall, it’s been a great addition to our family. We plan to buy other casings for the ball (that adorable Wicked Snail is next on our list!)
