Have you ever wanted your cat to get off the couch and play — without you having to get off the couch and play?

Enter the PetFushion Ambush electronic cat toy.

A colorful bundle of feathers pops in and out of different slots automatically, mimicking a real life cat-and-mouse hunt — without the real mouse. The toy plays into your kitty’s predator instincts, giving them a chance to “hunt” in a safe environment.

Along with the feather toy, LED lighting and preprogrammed motion keeps your feline friend engaged and moving between the six holes.

“My cat is IN LOVE with this toy!” wrote one reviewer. “It's awesome and keeps him entertained! It does have a sound attributed with it, it's slightly loud, but we just put the toy in a different room, hit the start button, and the cat comes flying into the room to attack it. It times out after 8 minutes, which is good/bad. Good because if the cat is getting tired, it doesn't kill your battery. Bad because my cat likes at least two to three rounds of play, so I do have to turn it back on. But, seriously, a great purchase. I don't regret purchasing it AT ALL!”

An eight-minute timer is included with the toy to ensure the battery (included) lasts a long time, but if it switches off mid-play, you can simply turn it back on.

There’s also anti-skid feet at the bottom of the Ambush to keep the toy secure and stationary while your cat pounces around.

“The name says it all my 2 cats went crazy for this from the time I took it out of the box,” another reviewer wrote. “1 cat on each side and a free for all for the holes in the middle. My only advice is get rechargeable battery’s. It is great that it only runs for 8 minutes then shuts off to save the batteries. But your cats will have you start the game every time it stops because they can not get enough of this toy. Buy one today and start the excitement. 10 + stars for this one. Thank you Chewy for carrying this. Like I said in the beginning the name says it all. Start the ambush.”

After your cats wear the toy out with all the playing they’re sure to do, the feather easily detaches and can be replaced to keep the fun going. A replacement is included.

Another happy shopper said: “My cat loves this thing! I just turn it on and he gets so excited! Highly recommended.”

What are you waiting for? Stay on that couch and get your cat moving!
