Some cats pounce straight away; shy ones like to watch first, so give it a few sessions. If your cat still isn't keen, email us and you can send it back under our returns policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it loud?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's quiet enough for daytime play, but it isn't silent: there's a small motor inside, so expect a soft hum as it rolls and a light tap when it meets a wall. Switch it off at night if your cat likes to hunt at 3 a.m.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it work on carpet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt rolls best on hard floors and flat, low rugs. Deep, shaggy carpet slows any rolling ball down, so start it somewhere smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it survive my cat's claws?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe shell is durable ABS plastic, made for batting, pouncing and bumping into furniture. It isn't a chew toy, so supervise play and take it away if it cracks or gets chewed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I leave it running while I'm out?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe'd rather you didn't. It's best with you nearby, even if you're on a call in the next room. Switch it off after a session and put it away; cats stay keener on toys they don't see all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it for dogs too?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, it's made for cats. A dog's bite is much stronger than a cat's pounce, and the hard shell isn't made for chewing, so keep it away from dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Corduroy Dog","offers":[{"title":"Blue","offer_id":57709701890214,"sku":"ZD27905652","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink","offer_id":57709701922982,"sku":"ZD27905654","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/4158\/5574\/files\/smart-rolling-ball-studio--playful-pack.jpg?v=1792470071","url":"https:\/\/thecorduroydog.myshopify.com\/products\/smart-rolling-ball","provider":"The Corduroy Dog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
