Let’s ROLL!!

Sphero Mini (Blue) App-Enabled Programmable Robot Ball that is for kids, and family, but we bought it for our cats, to play with. We bought this cute mini ball cat toy about five years ago, to try it out with out cats. As it turns out, we forgot about it as it was buried in the Ottoman toy storage with our other cat toys. Before we played Sphero, we had to charge it, and when we did, it blinked blue as it was charging, and then changed solid green to let us know it was finished charging. So here we go, hey Pukini and Kai, let’s go, WEEEE! Let’s ROLL, and lets play with this lit up ping pong/cue ball like toy and have some fun. We can’t wait, and we had a ball. We were so ready, and our cats were so excited and it was tricky at times to maneuver this joystick with six different modes, but my husband Dave got used to it. As soon as Dave maneuvered it to move, on his Apple iPhone, the cats looked at the toy, and watched it spin and light up. They chased it back and forth on the carpet, in our hallway, and living room floor, and our tiled floors. The app made different noises on the Iphone, and Sphero made this like whirling sound like noise when it was moving.

We have this Hocus Pocus 2 pop up tent, and this lime green mini tunnel was inserted on one end of the entrance to the tunnel toy on the floor. When Sphero was going back and forth, on our carpet floor, Pukini was hiding inside his pup up tent, and when it went by, Pukini tried to bat at it. When the cats were waiting for the toy to go by, Pukini would be in the mini tunnel, and run out of the Hocus Pocus 2 pop up tent to chase the toy. As it went by beaming and taunting our cats, both Kai and Pukini looked at one another to say, “What’s this thing?” Watch out, it moves pretty fast, but so funny to watch. The cats followed Sphero mini toy robot ball everywhere it went, and they were mesmerized by this toy as it went under our living room table. They kept chasing this little blue beam like shaped ball, until they were lying on their sides asleep and worn out.

It is a toy mostly for kids and their family, but who says your feline family member can’t have a go at it as well. Sphero comes in a variety of colors, and it was pricey for fifty dollars. But it offered a lot for the cats to play with, and had some games, and STEM activities for the kids and families to play with. Finally, when your ready for more rounds of WEEEE, and ROLLING FUN, let’s GOOO get the cats ready to PLAY!
