My cat thinks the Cheerble Ball is alive, and honestly, same

TL;DR: Get your fur baby a Cheerble Ball Interactive Toy for $19.97 (reg. $27.99) and keep them entertained for hours.

The first time I saw the red Cheerble Ball skitter across my living room floor, my cat launched herself after it like it owed her money. It bounced, darted, spun in manic zig-zags — basically, it looked like someone gave a laser pointer an espresso shot and turned it into a ball. That’s when I knew: this little gadget was a menace. A beautiful, fur-chasing menace.

The Cheerble Ball is a self-moving interactive toy for cats, activated by touch (no app required). You just charge it up, tap it once, and boom — chaos. My cat, who normally stares at her toys like they’ve personally offended her, is obsessed. The ball has three play modes to keep her busy.

Cheerble Ball: Interactive Toy for Cats

It’s no surprise this toy was successfully funded on both Kickstarter and Indiegogo. Apparently, thousands of other cat parents saw the potential for adorable chaos and backed it, too. My favorite thing about this little toy? Cheerble just does its thing and powers down when your cat walks away, then jumps back to life with a tap. It’s like the ghost of a mouse lives inside it.

If you’ve ever felt bad watching your indoor cat glare out the window like a 1920s heiress longing for the open sea, this is the toy that makes up for all those still afternoons. It’s basically the best entertainment this side of Shakespeare in the Park (which, yes, I skipped to stay home and watch my fur baby go full gladiator on a ball). She’s convinced the Cheerble Ball is alive. And I tend to agree.

For a limited time, get the Cheerble Ball for $19.97 — 29% off its regular price of $27.99.
