Using this cat toy is super easy. First, find a flat and open area where your cat likes to play. Put some of your cat's favorite treats into the ball part of the toy. Then, press the button on the toy. The toy will start spinning and sending out an intermittent laser beam. Your cat will be attracted to the moving laser and the possibility of getting treats. As for the treats, they'll come out during the play. Remember, the batteries and treats are not included, so you need to get them separately. When it comes to maintenance, you can use a dry cloth to wipe the toy clean regularly. Don't use water or any harsh chemicals as it might damage the toy. Keep it in a dry place when not in use to make it last longer.
