Petcube Play 2 review
Published 20 June 2026
A play-focused camera with a built-in laser toy you control from your phone, plus 1080p video, a 160-degree view and night vision. Great for cats that chase, though the laser control can feel jerky and there is no treat dispenser.
Best for: Cat owners wanting remote laser play

Common questions
What makes the Petcube Play 2 different?
Its built-in laser toy, which you control from the app to play with your pet remotely. It suits cats and dogs that love chasing a laser, rather than those motivated by treats.
How well does the laser work?
It is fun but the control can feel delayed and a little jerky through the app. It works best if your pet genuinely enjoys chasing lasers.
Does it toss treats?
No. Its interactive feature is the laser, not a treat dispenser. For treats, look at the Petcube Bites range or Furbo.
