Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 175 reviews.
We introduced the buddy slowly and let our cats decide when to approach. The character seems much more interesting to mine when it pauses between movements. I bought it for the little play breaks between working from home.
I bought the buddy and apparently also bought myself a new role
A very silly addition to the evening toy rotation.
We have had a few paw taps at the buddy, though our older cat mostly watches.
I may enjoy the character design as much as the cats enjoy investigating it. We do a short round with the character and then give everyone a break. Our older cat likes shorter games, so we just do a few minutes at a time. ❤️
The character face makes every little paw tap look dramatic.
The little boxing character is a funny change from simply rolling another ball. We move the character a little, pause, and let the cats make the next move.
I chose the character I liked and left the playtime decisions to the cats. The character seems much more interesting to mine when it pauses between movements. The cat was briefly more excited about the empty packaging than my tiny character performance lol
The character face was the detail that sold me on this toy. We keep the game gentle and let the cats approach rather than chasing them around. I live in an apartment, so our playtime usually happens in the living room.
The character peeks out and the cat immediately goes into detective mode.
We introduced the buddy slowly and let our cats decide when to approach. Sometimes the whole session is just two cats watching one little character very carefully.
I chose the character I liked and left the playtime decisions to the cats. It has made the humans much more committed to putting on a tiny cat show.
One very curious kitten has joined the buddy fan club.
More little character games on the living-room rug, please.
A silly character and a surprisingly dramatic paw tap.
I may enjoy the character design as much as the cats enjoy investigating it. My tabby watches the buddy as though it needs to explain why it's in his living room.
I wanted something that would get me more involved in playtime with the cats. My cat gives the little buddy a tap and then looks at me like he has won something

The tiny boxing theme looks especially funny next to our very serious adult cat. It has made the humans much more committed to putting on a tiny cat show. We do a little play session before dinner, and this has worked nicely for that.

The Boxing Buddy is now part of our couch-side play routine.
The little boxing character is a funny change from simply rolling another ball. We have one very confident cat and one who likes to watch first. The little face popping into view has become our cue that playtime is starting. We are getting some nice little play sessions out of it
I may enjoy the character design as much as the cats enjoy investigating it. We rotate a few toys rather than leaving every single one out all day. My tabby watches the buddy as though it needs to explain why it is in his living room. I like that we can make up a different game each time.
The character is funny, but my cat is still deciding whether to join the game.
Our tabby needed a minute to work out what the buddy was supposed to be. My cat gives the little buddy a tap and then looks at me like he has won something.

Apparently evening playtime needed a tiny boxing character.
The boxing character gets a lot of suspicious looks around here.
The Boxing Buddy has given our usual evening routine a silly little twist. We do a short round with the character and then give everyone a break. I spent longer choosing a character than I probably needed to.
