The Best Laser Pointers for Cats in 2022

The Bolt Interactive Laser Cat Toy from PetSafe is a fully-automated laser pointer that automatically turns itself off after 15 minutes of laser play. You can look at the Bolt as an inexpensive alternative to the Friends Forever Interactive Laser Toy for Pet Cat. Unfortunately, there are some serious issues with the new design. Aside from the risk of getting toppled over because of a rather narrow base, the new Bolt comes with a highly unreliable motor that creates weird noises plus laser light patterns that are easily lost within 2 feet.

Also, the randomness of the laser patterns, as some pet parents commented, is not really random at all. This made their cats to lose interest in the device. On the bright side, the laser itself is safe for pets and a fully adjustable mirror for aiming the laser light.

With two different modes of play and a laser that moves at random, your kitty will go crazy over this Dancing Dot by PetSafe. The first of the two modes is a 15-minute play mode to help cure the boredom of any cat that’s getting a little feisty and needs something fun to do. The second play mode is a continuous play mode that keeps the toy running until you turn it off – but here’s the best part: it will only activate for 15 minutes every two hours. This stops your cat from being overstimulated, which could cause them to lash out or hurt themselves.

From a brand that cares about your pet, the Dancing Dot allows you to move and adjust the position of the toy, itself, so that your cat can find themselves in new, challenging situations when chasing the laser point. You can even hang the toy from a doorknob to give the laser more space to move in, and thus, more space for your cat to play!

A white cat paw toy that comes with its own USB charging cable, Shengsite’s interactive cat toy projects an LED pattern for your pets to play with. This LED projection is noted to be safer than a laser pointer because it will not hurt your eyes if you accidentally point it in the wrong direction. The projection can be changed to one of any of the toy’s five settings; these include a mouse, a heart, a bone, a paw, and a fish bone. You can also change the color of the projected light from red to purple, or there’s a flashing red option.

The brand notes that the best projecting distance for this product is two to three metres maximum, and the built-in rechargeable battery will save you time and money (no more buying single-use batteries and constantly running out!). In addition, the toy is made of a tasteless plastic that is bite-proof. A full charge should last up to three hours of playtime.

You can have hours of fun watching your cat excitedly chase red light dots around your home. Cats also love to chase and catch new things, so imagine how much fun you can both have with new lights and patterns to chase.

The multifunction pointer includes four different red light patterns alongside the traditional red light dot. You can easily change between the different patterns by moving the slider on the pointer up and down. The light and compact pointer fits easily in your hand and charges directly into any USB port without the need for a charging cable. The stainless steel toy charges fully in less than an hour. As well as being a great laser pointer the toy has two other helpful functions. Its other modes include a flashlight and a UV light. So, whether you need to move around in the dark or hunt down your cat’s favorite toilet spot, you can do it with ease with this one simple toy.

Whenever you aren’t certain about which toy to buy, having a return guarantee is an amazing addition. With the Automatic Laser Toy that is offered by YVE LIFE, your toy is guaranteed to live for one year – and if it doesn’t, YVE LIFE will send you a new one without asking for the old toy back. The toy has five different settings, but unlike other toys that change color or projection shape, this automatic laser changes the ranger that the laser points to.

It’s recommended that you place the laser up high so that your cats can’t knock it over while playing because will all of these settings, they’re going to want to run around and chase that laser in circles. The automatic settings of the laser ensure that it will turn itself off after each 15-minute cycle of play, which will prevent your kitty from tiring themselves out or getting overstimulated. Alternatively, the secondary setting on the device will turn the laser on every three hours for 15 minutes of play.

The Interactive Cat Toy by YodiboY is extremely similar to the stereotypical laser pointer toy that we’ve all seen over the years. But this laser pointing device is a little different because it was made with cats and dogs in mind. As such, there’s a sealed waterproof ring that stops any liquid from getting into the battery storage of the device, where you will need to insert two AAA batteries for the device to work.

The pocket clip is a great feature on this laser pointer because it adds portability to the toy. Carry it around with you anywhere you take your cat (or dog) and watch them go wild over the little red dot that just appeared out of nowhere. Simply turn on the device using the button switch, grasp it over the non-slip holding area, and point away!

Frolicking around on the floor has never been so fun. The PetSafe Laser Tail Automatic Laser Light is the cat toy to buy if the aim is to engage your pet on all levels possible. This toy is very easy to use and it moves around on the floor while its tail creates laser patterns that will engage your pet and have them chasing after it in glee. So as to ensure that your cat is the one creating the chase, the toy always moves away from the laser and not vice versa.

In order to get it up and running, you simply have to push the single button located underneath the laser tail. After that, set down the device and watch your pet chase it around happily. You do not need to do much more since this is an independent device that moves around on its own whilst creating a variety of fun patterns that your cat can engage with vigorously, without getting bored. And to ensure that your cat does not get overstimulated (yes, this is very possible) this device turns off after 10 minutes.
