It’s a known fact that kitties like to chase that little red dot. And it is pretty certain that none of us get to do it for as long as we’d like. The humans’ arms always wear out before we do. If you live in a multi-cat home, you probably have some competitors as well when you are on the hunt.
PetSafe has eliminated all those problems with their FroliCat Multi Laser Toy. You may be familiar with FroliCat’s Bolt. It has one automatically-generated, random-patterned, red laser beam. Kitties Blue have worn out two of those! So, imagine our delight when we were asked if we’d like to try the Multi Laser Toy.
The Multi Laser Toy has two active lasers that rotate in a 360-degree, wobbly pattern. After each movement, the lasers remain motionless for a second or two before moving again. This means that if you’re fast, you can actually catch one of those dots. Mom says she likes this a lot. She knows that chasing the dot is just one part of our instinct to chase/catch/kill.
The Multi Laser requires three AA batteries. It operates for 15 minutes and then shuts off automatically.
The product claims that its wide-base helps prevent tipping. The manufacturer hadn’t tested it with Cooper Murphy. When he wants to play, he goes to the foyer (where the toy is set up) and knocks it over. He knows that when Mom hears it fall over, she’ll turn it on for him.
Mom tried to get decent video or photos of some of us playing. The video, featuring Cooper Murphy, is a bit of a bust, but here it is if you’d like to watch. You can see the dots darting around.
And here are the less than spectacular photos.
Regardless of our human’s ineptitude with taking videos and photos, we have all played with the FroliCat Multi Laser Toy several times each day since receiving it and give it a 32 paws-up rating. Thank you PetSafe for providing Kitties Blue with another fun toy.

Hey, our Mom was looking at that exact toy the last time she was online, or at some pet store, or some place. She assures us she was looking at them. Can we trust her at her word? Would you?
I like the sound of this toy, the thrill of the chase is what I enjoy, and a snack afterwards of course. OK so theres no snack, but this looks quite entertaining and will help me shed a few ounces!
Purrs, ERin
This toy looks like it would be a blast, and the kitties at Paws for Reflection think this would be an oh so fun toy to play with. Purrs.
Oh my goodness that looks like such fun. The kitties would love it!!
I need one of those to unwind my house panther. He runs around our condo like his tail is on fire. He loves the red dot and I don’t always have the time or the strength to play with him. Thank so much for this nice giveaway.
We would love to enter and iffy we won, could we send to a US buddy who would love this. Can we do that?
It looks so much fun, and we loved your review Miss Janet.
Wow…we would like a Frolic cat, please. It doesn’t matter if we say please Shoko. Really…please doesn’t work. I thought it was a magic word. This is a contest Shoko and the name is drawn at random. I’m a random cat Kali. C’mon Shoko you’re giving me a headache. OK, but I did use the magic word…..
Shoko and Kali
My cat would love this!
How wonderful of you to offer this to one of your readers. We think it looks like a fun thing and Mario will like it. Please enter him in the drawing.
I saw one of these toys on display at my local pet supply store just last week! I’m shopping for goodies for Fergus, as his first birthday is April 1st. It would be awesome to win this toy, but since you like it so, I may need to buy one if I don’t win it. He needs wearing out!
We would love to win because we have another type of toy like this and Meku ALWAYS tips it over within the first few minutes of turning it on. She loves it but once it’s knocked over the laser doesn’t really move and she loses interest.
I imagine all my kitties would love this, and lets face it, it’s sometimes nice for them to be able to entertain themselves for a while!
Wow, this looks awesome! I’m always looking for ways to keep Malloy entertained while I work and this looks like it would do the trick! Paws crossed we’re winners
MOL Dat looks like lots of fun. Did we see da red dot on a kitty? Could it be pawssible dat’s where da red dot goes when it desappears? Does a kitty somehow eat it? OMC big hugs
Luv ya’
Dezi and Raena
That looks like a lot of fun! I’m always looking for ways to keep Bear Cat entertained 🙂
Wow, 32 paws up??? That thing must be truly fun and awesome! 🙂
Oh, I do hope we can win. Mom says she hopes so, too, cause otherwise she’ll have to save up and buy us one if we don’t win. She says we’ve got to get some exercise and this looks like a good way to get started! 😀 Midge, Nicky, Inky, Charlie, Freckles, Tippi, and Maggie!
This looks like fun!!!
We got one of these to review too and we started playing with it today. Ernie thinks it’s da bomb! We totally forgive your mom for the photos. Our mom can’t take any good ones either. We’re moving too fast!
That looks like fun. I almost got one for George. Shhh…don’t tell him. He would love it! HUGS.
Wow, that looks like some pretty nice and fun toy! Loads of fun.
That would be purrfect present for Buster.
Now that’s a toy that would keep us on our toys all day long!
We had one of the early automatic laser toys and it did not last long. I do not think it was that brand. That one looks like a lot of fun for two kitties at a time
My Brother Simon just made the red dot discovery!
That looks like fun. Most of my cats are lazy, but I know a few that would play with that.
That looks like an awesome toy for my four!
We think that looks great and we know that it would keep us busy and out of Mom’s hair for a long time. 🙂
Stereo purrs………..Hemingway and Steinbeck
Oh, Evan would love this thing. He is a laser and light chasing fiend. And your 32 paws up review means it must be a winner indeed! Thank you for always sharing such fun finds with us, Kitties Blue!
I think it is a good way to let our pets having some toys like this at home when we are all busy with daily things. These cute kitties are having fun for sure with this frolicat toy.
That’s such a totally cool toy! My Dad is a big BUMMER about laser toys though – Mom bought one for me which I LOVE LOVE LOVE but he’s afraid I’ll get the laser in my eyes and it will hurt me! Silly Dad…… As for the video, I think Cooper was probably just trying to decide if he had the energy to play with the toy after all. Sometimes we THINK we wanna play and we change our minds…………..hoping your Mom is feeling better today!
Love, Teddy (and Angel Sam)
Oh goodness, I would love to win one of these for our kitties or the shelter where we volunteer. Pretty great idea and it looks like lots of fun.
You guys really look like you’re enjoying the toy! Maybe it can replace your human sometimes.
Two of my three cats can’t get enough of chasing the red dot. My third cat, Moko, is older and just never cared much for toys and playing. She’s been a cuddler, but lately has had medical issues which keep me busy with her. I don’t have as much time to play chase the red dot with the other two. Having a device like this would be amazing. The two younger cats would be kept busy and happy while I spend more time with Moko. Keeping fingers crossed for this giveaway.
Oooh!!! We love laser chasing! We are thrilled to have a chance to win one of this kind!
Hope the Mom’s coughing is getting better…sending purrs and pawyers.
