Best Cat Toys of 2025

"My 4-month-old cat, Squirt, absolutely LOVES this toy! He has been stalking and playing with it since it arrived. The sound level is perfect—not too loud to drive me nuts, but just enough to keep my cat entertained. I also appreciate that it doesn't constantly chirp; it takes breaks, which keeps my cat engaged longer. I’m thrilled with this purchase!"

"I had to give this bird toy a try for my cat who usually ignores other toys, and I'm so glad I did! At 7 years old, he goes wild for it! The battery lasts a long time, and no matter how rough he gets, it just keeps on going. This toy is a hit!"

"When I first opened the box, the toy had a strange smell, but my cat is really into it! It has an ON/OFF switch and is activated by touch. The chirping sounds and movements really grab her attention. I'm so pleased with this purchase, especially since she usually prefers cardboard boxes over any toys!"

"I bought two of these in blue for my kitties. Within minutes, they were in hunting mode. They stayed entertained for over an hour! The battery lasts a long time, and I appreciate that it's rechargeable. It's also very durable; the attachment tail has held up despite my cats chewing on it. I even bought two in red, and now I run all four at once for perfect playful chaos!"

"I got this toy for my two cats. While they seemed a bit curious when it was off, once I turned it on, they got freaked out. It's very sturdy though; it has rolled down my stairs multiple times without breaking. The charge is decent, but it can be loud on hardwood floors. Overall, it's a well-made toy, but I wish my cats were more interested."

"I just received this toy today, and right out of the box, it worked incredibly well! My cat was hesitant at first, but after a few minutes, she became obsessed! It has three modes, and switching between them is easy. Cleaning is straightforward, too. For $20, it's a fantastic product. Just a tip: for older cats, start with the slow mode to avoid scaring them!"

"I rarely write reviews, but this cat toy truly impressed me. The simple design of a toy on a string is elevated by having at least two of everything. The strong fishing line makes it virtually invisible, enhancing playtime for my cats. They absolutely love the variety of toys, especially the feather attachments. Until there's a robot to wave it around, this is the best cat toy I've found!"

"My older cat still enjoys the tracking and pouncing that comes naturally to felines, and this toy is just perfect for him! The telescoping fishing pole allows for flexible play, and the colorful attachments keep him engaged day after day. Everything feels sturdy, making it a great value!"

"Our cats are absolutely crazy about these toys! The variety of colors and the pleasant bell sound really get them excited. They're lightweight, easy to handle, and provide great exercise. However, I did step on one rod accidentally, and it broke easily. This is our second purchase, and we're still very happy with it!"

"I explored countless toys, ranging from costly to budget-friendly, and this one truly stands out as the best value. I was amazed at how sturdy it is. My lively kitten, Luna, adores this toy! I anticipated she would destroy it quickly, but it has held up remarkably well. I appreciate the rechargeable feature and the included extra pieces. Plus, there are no metal coil springs for her to get caught in. It's an impressively designed product. I recommend activating just one function initially to let your pet acclimate; when I turned everything on at once, it startled Luna. But soon enough, she was fully engaged. I can't understand why others claim it's noisy—the ball with the bell they provided was much louder than the toy itself. This is an excellent way to keep my fur baby active, and the bonus is she sleeps soundly after playtime. If I could, I'd rate this a 10! Best purchase ever!"

"My cat is a huge fan of this toy! I genuinely believe it's worth the investment as it seems built to last for a long time."

"I was eager to gift this to my kittens, but unfortunately, the lights only flicker for a few seconds, and the peek-a-boo feature is really slow. It comes out of the same hole twice and my kitties lost interest quickly. There are much better options available. Additionally, it arrived without instructions, and the packaging appeared to have been through quite a rough time. I won't be shopping from this seller again, as it didn't live up to the pictures."

"I have two cats, and one of them is obsessed with chasing ice cubes. These springs are super cheap and zoom across my hard floors just like ice cubes. If they disappear under the range, there are no puddles to clean up! With 12 springs, I can just pull out a new set whenever my cat loses them. Plus, my other cat loves them too!"

"My kitty is absolutely in love with her springs. She carries them around and plays fetch with them constantly. It's so entertaining to watch her pull them with her paw and chase after them. She even hides them under the couch! Definitely worth the money!"

"These springs are a huge hit with my cats! They spend hours batting, chasing, and trying to catch them. I’ve never seen them so engaged! The springs are sturdy and colorful, making them a fantastic source of entertainment."

“These catnip fish-shaped toys are an absolute delight for my feline friends! The moment I unpacked them, my cats were intrigued and couldn't stop batting them around. The high-quality catnip keeps them engaged for hours. I love the soft material and the cute fish design, which is durable enough to withstand their enthusiastic play.”

“I recently bought this for all three of my cats for Christmas and they love these fish so much. Yes, they have catnip in them, but they go nuts over this and it keeps them busy for hours. The toys have great durability, they are incredibly soft, and the size of the fish is solid.”

“Our cats love these. They've played with them for hours. Our one cat likes to play fetch with them, bringing them to us and dropping them at our feet. It's a great value for the money, and the playability is through the roof. Very soft, and the cats love the noise they make when you fling them back and forth.”

"I recently bought the YVE LIFE Laser Cat Toy for my indoor cats, and it has been a fantastic addition to their playtime. The toy features a real random trajectory, which keeps my cats engaged and entertained for hours. The motion-activated sensor is a great feature, as it only turns on when my cats are nearby, saving battery life and ensuring they get plenty of exercise. I highly recommend it to any cat owner looking for a reliable and entertaining laser toy."

"This indoor cat laser is definitely fun, and my cats love chasing the light! It's super easy to use and keeps them entertained for hours. However, I wish it had a rechargeable battery option for more flexibility. Still, it's a great way to give my cats some exercise and fun."

"I have a kitten, and the fastest setting is just a little too exhausting for him. But at the lowest setting, he seems to enjoy chasing the laser dot more. The dot is bright and moves in a very strategic fashion that intrigues him. I am really happy with my purchase."

"I bought this cat toy about 2 months ago, and it's still a huge hit with both my cat and me! The ball rolls around the house, making a squeaky noise and shaking its 'tail'. My cat enjoys chasing it and jumping on it. It's a quality item that provides a lot of fun and entertainment!"

"This toy is truly smart! My two cats love it and can play for hours without getting bored. It navigates on its own and even gets out of tight spots, making it perfect for independent play. The battery life is fantastic, and I highly recommend it!"

"I was hoping this toy would provide extra stimulation for my cat, who recently lost his brother. He was curious and followed it around, but he didn't really play with it. I found it interesting that he preferred to observe from a distance. Despite that, I'm giving it 5 stars for its features and ease of cleaning!"

"My cats absolutely love this toy! I ordered a second one because it doesn't keep chirping the whole time. It does two chirping sequences and then stops until moved again. Charging is easy, and the red light turns off when fully charged."

"I adopted a feral cat, and this toy is fantastic for her. It engages her natural hunting instincts. It's well made and keeps her active and entertained. I've even bought another one for her!"

"Initially, I thought my cats would adore this toy, but after some initial interest, they mostly ignored it. I believe it would be better if it had catnip inside and a more sensitive activation mechanism. It requires a heavier touch to get it moving, which my cats haven’t quite figured out."

"This is definitely an outside toy. It's huge, but once my cat got used to being inside, she had a great time."

"I found this worked perfectly! My cat, Turbo, enjoys playing in the tunnels. I leave two panels unzipped indoors, but outside, I zip them up for his safety and happiness. It's definitely worth it!"

"My kitties are obsessed with this! They feel totally spoiled, and I highly recommend it!"
