Premier Pet Multi Laser Cat Toy

There’s no denying that cats love lasers. It’s a well-established fact. Well, the Premier Pet Multi Laser Cat Toy has not one, but two lasers. Just press the power button and the lasers will begin to rotate at fast speeds and in random movement patterns to encourage your cat to chase and pounce in an attempt to catch the red dots. The toy shuts off automatically after 15 minutes of play time so your pal can rest. Did we mention it’s also kind of cool looking?
