Customer review: "The main attraction for this purchase was the laser – which is very good. The cat loves it and even when he gets a little tired, he still watches it go. Other than that, the charging time is fine, I just charge it every few days and it lasts well, it’s usually on two – three times a day. I was hesitant at first but I have to say this has genuinely been money well spent."

Let the good times roll with the Flash Laser Tease Cat Ball. The ball bursts into life with a press of a button and produces a beam of light to peak your cat's interest. It intelligently avoids obstacles so your cat can play with this somewhat independently, though we do advise some level of supervision. It rolls best on a hard floor and may not roll as well on thick carpet. This laser ball is fully charged in one-and-a-half-hours and provides four hours of play.

The Toozey Cat Toys LED Light Pointer is a versatile plaything. Smaller than a pen at just 12cm in length. This 30g LED light pointer has seven functions, both fun and practical. Use it for projection games, play, night reading, evening walks and more. Switch between white, ultra violet and red light modes. The red light mode casts a safe and fun patterned beam for cats to chase and pounce on. Some reviews comment that they've used the UV light to show up dust, dirt and grease around the home.

The YVE LIFE Laser Toy for Indoor Cats is thoughtfully designed with slow and fast modes to cater for all cats. It offers motion activated, hands-free play. This laser toy automatically switches on when its sensor detects movement. Then, it automatically turns off after 15 minutes and is activated once in two hours only. This is a great touch, to avoid over-stimulation and frustrated play. Adjustable circular motions to create different patterns across the floor and walls – just be sure not to position this near the antique porcelain collection.

Customer review: "First of all I have to say that this is a great toy and my cats loved it, however, you really need quite a bit of clear space in order for it to work effectively. I ended up having to hold it to direct it appropriately in my living room, which defeated the objective of providing a toy they could play with on their own. If you have enough clear space would definitely recommend it."
