The switch is turned on to make the transmitter 41 emit a laser, and the laser is shot on the ground. At the same time, the hemisphere 4 is rotated to drive the transmitter 41 to rotate, so that the laser point is constantly changing position to attract the attention of the pet cat. Due to the curious nature of cats, they will grab the laser point on the ground, thereby providing the pet cat with something to play with and increasing the pet cat's interest in playing. Preferably, a player that can play music is provided in the base 1, which can better attract the pet cat's attention to the toy. During the rotation process, the elastic rod assembly 5 detachably mounted on the hemisphere 4 can also be used for the pet cat to play.

[0032] In one embodiment of the utility model, an adjustment button 44 for adjusting the distance of the laser of the transmitter 41 is provided on the top of the hemisphere 4. Since the transmitter 41 is arranged in the hemisphere 4 with an inclination downward, when the adjustment button 44 is pushed forward, the transmitter 41 also moves forward, and the emitted laser point becomes a near point. When the adjustment button 44 is pushed backward, the transmitter 41 also slides backward, and the emitted laser point changes from a near point to a far point. The landing position of the laser point is selected according to the actual situation to provide a way for the pet cat to play.

[0033] In one embodiment of the utility model, the elastic rod assembly 5 includes a mounting seat 51 and a connecting head 52. The mounting seat 51 is provided with two assembly holes.
