Interactive play · Three modes · Birdsong sound · All floor types
Most electronic cat toys are a bare plastic ball. This one arrives dressed as a rabbit — three interchangeable plush covers, rabbit ears included, in brown, yellow, and pink. The ears trail when it rolls. That’s the detail that makes a curious cat stop, track, and pounce.
The PawBunny™ interactive cat toy ball is a motorised ball that moves on its own, wrapped in a soft plush cover your cat can bat, chase and pin. Three motion modes, an optional birdsong sound, and a touch-activated restart mean it works around your cat’s mood rather than ignoring it. After five minutes of no contact it powers down automatically — then wakes the moment your cat touches it again.
All three plush covers ship in the box. Swap them when one gets soggy from enthusiasm, or rotate them to keep things novel. The ball itself is 6.4 cm across — small enough to carry in a cat’s mouth, large enough not to be a hazard.
Three modes, one button
| Mode | LED | Movement | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | Blue | Gentle rolling, steady pace | Senior cats, cautious cats, small spaces |
| Active | Pink | Fast rolling, erratic direction changes | Kittens, high-energy adults |
| Interactive | Yellow | Activates only on touch — pauses when still | Play sessions you join in with |
| Birdsong | Any mode | Double-tap to toggle chirping sound on or off | Cats that respond to audio triggers |
Long-press 2 seconds to power on or off. Short press cycles through Normal → Active → Interactive. Double-tap (while on) toggles the birdsong sound independently of the motion mode.
Works on every floor in your home
Most self-rolling cat toys struggle on anything other than hard floors. PawBunny’s motor is strong enough to handle thin carpet and thick carpet as well as wood, tile, and laminate — which matters if your cat’s favourite stalking territory happens to be the living-room rug.
What you get in the box
- 1× PawBunny motor ball — 6.4 cm diameter, ABS body with textured grip dome, power button, LED indicator
- 3× interchangeable plush covers — brown, yellow, and pink, each with rabbit ears and trailing strings
- Spare strings — replacements for the trailing cords
- 1× USB-C charging cable — use with a standard USB-A adapter (5 V / 1 A); not compatible with USB C-to-C PD adapters
- 1× mini screwdriver tool — for unlocking the buckle to change covers (included; don’t throw it away)
How to set it up
What this isn't:
PawBunny is an enrichment tool, not a substitute for hands-on play. An automatic toy can fill the gap when you’re on a call or out for a couple of hours — but wand sessions and interactive play you lead yourself are still the most valuable thing in an indoor cat’s day.
The birdsong sound will interest some cats immediately and be completely ignored by others. Cats that are motivated by audio triggers tend to be the ones who already respond to bird sounds on TV or through an open window. If yours doesn’t, the motion modes work just fine without it.
Honest questions, honestly answered
Will my cat actually play with it?
Most cats with a moderate prey drive will engage — the rabbit ears trailing as the ball rolls give the visual cue that something small and alive is moving. Cats that are very food-motivated but not toy-motivated may sniff once and leave. Start in Interactive mode (yellow LED) so the ball stays still until your cat touches it — that first pawing-at-the-stationary-thing is usually what hooks them. If three sessions in a row produce nothing, our 30-day return covers it.
My cat chewed the strings. Are replacements included?
Yes — a set of spare strings ships in the box. Cats that are enthusiastic chewers will go through them. The strings are a trailing stimulation feature, not a structural part — the ball functions without them if needed, though most cats find the trailing movement more engaging than the rolling alone.
How do I charge it? My C-to-C cable isn't working.
This is the most common setup issue. PawBunny charges via USB-C cable plugged into a USB-A source — a standard wall adapter, laptop port, or USB hub. PD-type USB C-to-C adapters (the fast-charging type that powers phones and laptops) are not supported by this unit. If you only have a C-to-C setup, you’ll need a standard USB-A wall plug — any 5 V / 1 A adapter works. The USB-C cable is included in the box.
How do I swap the plush cover?
Use the mini screwdriver that ships in the box to unlock the clear plastic buckle ring. The cover’s strings slot into grooves around the ball’s equator. Place the strings in the grooves, then lock the buckle back. It takes about a minute once you’ve done it once. Don’t lose the screwdriver — you need it every time. It’s tiny and usually lives inside the original box.
Is the birdsong loud? Will it disturb the household?
It’s a gentle chirping sound, not a full speaker volume. In a quiet room you’ll hear it clearly; in a room with background noise (TV, conversation) it’s a minor presence. It doesn’t play automatically — you toggle it on with a double-tap and off again the same way. If you’re using it while working from home or during a call, leave the sound off.
Can I wash the plush covers?
The covers detach from the motor ball for cleaning. Hand-wash in cool water and allow to air-dry fully before reattaching — do not put the motor ball unit near water. Swap to one of the other two covers while one dries. This is exactly why three covers in the box is a practical feature, not just a colour option.
Is it safe to leave running when I'm out?
The 5-minute auto-standby means it powers down on its own when your cat loses interest, so it won’t run the battery flat while you’re gone. That said, we’d recommend supervising the first few sessions before leaving it unsupervised — so you know how your cat interacts with it and whether they’re a chewer of the strings or a gentle paw-tapper. Once you know that, leaving it on while you nip out is reasonable.
