Does it come with batteries?

No. It needs 2 AA batteries, which you supply yourself.

Will it work on carpet?

It rolls best on hard floors. Thick carpet can slow or stop the motion.

It is a simple motorized ball with no small parts, but supervise the first sessions and check for cracks before leaving it out.

It plays on its own, which a wand toy cannot do, but it offers less variety and depends on a cat's interest in the ball itself.

Yes. Kittens with a strong chase drive tend to engage with it most, though adult cats may ignore it.

Load the batteries and switch it on. There is no app or remote; the ball moves on its own until switched off.
