Ethical Pet Spot Motion Activated Ball Cat Toy vs Cheerble Wicked Ball AIR

These are not really competitors: one is a small motion-activated ball for cats, the other a smart self-rolling ball for medium and large dogs. Buy the Ethical Pet Spot if you have a cat and want a simple, cheap-feeling catnip ball that starts when batted. Buy the Cheerble Wicked Ball AIR if you have a dog that needs exercise and you want rechargeable, waterproof, multi-mode play. The Cheerble is the more substantial product by build and features; the Spot is the simpler one.

  • Choose the Ethical Pet Spot if you have a cat and want a small motion-activated ball with catnip and blinking light for solo batting play.
  • Choose the Cheerble Wicked Ball AIR if you have a medium or large dog that needs active chase play indoors or outdoors and you want a rechargeable, waterproof toy.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a cat?
The Ethical Pet Spot. It is a small catnip ball sized for batting, while the Cheerble is a 3.2 in dog toy built for medium and large dogs.
Which lasts longer?
The Cheerble has the sturdier build: an E-TPU and ABS shell rated for average chewers and a replaceable outer shell. The Spot is a small plastic ball with no chew rating.
Is the Cheerble worth stepping up to?
If you have a dog, yes. You get self-directed movement, three modes, IPX7 waterproofing and USB-C charging. For a cat, it is oversized and the wrong design.
Can the Cheerble be used outdoors?
Yes. It is rated IPX7 and works on lawns and in shallow water, and it is listed for indoor and outdoor use.
Will the Cheerble survive a strong chewer?
No. It is rated for average chewers only. Heavy chewers should be supervised or steered to a tougher toy.
Does the Spot need batteries?
Yes, and batteries are included. It has a simple on/off switch.
