{"product_id":"automatic-cat-teasing-ball-toy","title":"Motorised Rolling Cat Ball with Rope, Plush and Hop Versions","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe ball goes one way, the rope swings the other, and she commits to the rope.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is always the tail. The ball rolls off across the boards under its own power, changes direction against the skirting, and the braided cord knotted to its hub whips round behind it. She has been sitting on the arm of the sofa pretending not to watch for a full minute, and now she is flat on the floor with both paws out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell is ribbed silicone over a clear plastic hub, and the drive wheel sits behind that clear half where a cat can see it turning. The whole thing weighs fifty seven grams, small enough to be batted under a door and light enough not to mark a skirting board. Six colours are made, each one offered with or without a pat to wake mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe rope does the work\u003c\/strong\u003e A braided cord knotted at both ends trails from the hub, so there is always something loose to hook a claw into when the ball itself is moving too fast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt drives itself\u003c\/strong\u003e No wand, no hand, no batting it across the room to start. The ball moves on its own and changes direction when it meets something.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePat to wake on half the options\u003c\/strong\u003e Six colours come in a Wake and a No Wake version, so you can choose whether the ball restarts when it is touched.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree different balls on one listing\u003c\/strong\u003e The rope version, a plain hop ball with a single button, and a ball set inside a plush ring with ears and a pompom on a wire.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight in the paw\u003c\/strong\u003e Fifty seven grams of silicone rather than hard plastic, so it takes a swipe from a back paw without going through a vase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e An indoor cat who plays hardest when nobody appears to be involved, and homes with enough clear floor for a ball to run a few metres before it meets a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of toy a cat starts on her own. The ball drives off across the floor and the rope tail whips round behind it, tapping straight into the stalk and pounce a cat is built to do, which is what keeps an indoor cat busy and engaged through the afternoon. Everything you feel through it is there in the build: a pet friendly silicone shell over a clear hub, a drive wheel you can watch turning, a knotted rope tail, and a light fifty seven gram body. Half the options add a pat to wake mode and the plush version runs three speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Product Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self driving ball for cats; ribbed silicone shell over a clear plastic hub; 57 g; braided rope tail on the standard version; six colours, each in a Wake or No Wake option; a plain hop ball with a single button and no rope; a plush ring version with embroidered ears, a pompom on a wire and three speeds; packing list is one cat toy ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Fits Your Routine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLate afternoon, the hour she starts complaining at the kitchen door. The ball goes down at the end of the hall, where there is enough floor for it to build up a run before it finds the skirting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it stops on its own, the Wake versions restart with a pat, which is the difference between a toy she starts herself and one you have to keep going.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the silicone with a damp cloth and check the rope where it knots into the hub, because that knot is where a determined chewer will start. Retire the rope if it frays and keep the play supervised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it get moving?\u003c\/strong\u003e It powers itself across the floor rather than needing a hand to roll it, and on the Wake versions it wakes again with a pat. Bring it out for a session and put it away after, so play begins the moment it goes down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes every version have the wake mode?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Six colours come as Cat Ball Wake and six as Cat Ball No Wake. The hop ball and the plush version are described separately by the maker. Read the option name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the glow in some of the photographs?\u003c\/strong\u003e A soft glow shows behind the clear half in a few photos. The heart of the toy is the self driving ball and its trailing rope tail, which is what keeps a cat chasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe to leave with a cat unattended?\u003c\/strong\u003e Treat it as a supervised toy. The rope tail can be chewed and the ball is small enough to be carried off, so put it away between sessions rather than leaving it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 100%; overflow-x: auto;
