Are they hard surfaced? Do they make a lot of sound? If yes, maybe someone could point me to some soft/quiet led/illuminated balls for cats?

The cat balls are hard surface. They are absolutely silent. I use one in the cat track and they keep losing the other one under the couch. I need to buy another set. They are sensitive to motion, sometimes just walking by illuminates them.

They are hard surfaced. They do not make a lot of noise. You can hear it if you are in the same room but cannot hear it if you are not.

Yes they are hard plastic so you will hear them on non carpeted falls. I'm sorry I don't know of any soft illuminated balls.

Very noisy when a cat is playing hard on laminate or tile floors. I can hear from 50 feet away, but I have a very active Bengal cat. I have to hide these at bedtime and I wear earplugs to bed!

They are hard plastic and do make a really loud noise every time my cat knocks it to the wall. I don't think you will find a light up ball that isn't plastic though :\

Petstages Twinkle Ball is a soft illuminated ball...they have a lot of other illuminated toys as well; my kitten loves the firefly mat!

Yes they are hard surfaced. I only have them in the track and I would say its a moderate noise. My kittens love them and would still recommend them with the amount of noise they make.

Like Bynx said, yes they are hard surfaced. I use them only in the Catit Senses Play Circuit, so that keeps the noise down.

They are really light. We use them for inside ball play all the time. They have not been a problem for my toddlers. They are not like Nerf balls; they are light like styrofoam but soft like sponges.

My cats love this inexpensive and durable toy. Yes, it is noisy when they play with it. It sounds like rustling of plastic bags.

They are firm, but it's not been a problem for my cats. They seem about as hard as Tootsie Rolls.

Soft buzzing. I bought these for my cat and she does fine- not scared of these clippers.

Yes, they're spongy but firm enough that they bounce. I'll throw them at walls so they bounce out of sight so the cat has a fun time looking for them.

They are soft enough so that a dog can really get the squeaker going. They are on the softer side rather than firm. We throw the ball in the house for standard poodle knowing it's not going to hurt anything if it should hit a object. We love them and so do our dogs.

These make sounds for a little bit,until the white tube inside it gets crushed. I hope this helps. Have you tried the big giggle ball for kids? My lab loves it, even when they crush it, it still makes sounds.

Yes, they are really soft. I dont remember them making any noises, little noises irriate me to death! ha! There isn't a lot of plastic on them like on diapers.Another thing I have been doing - I cut t-shirts up and stick a depends for men in it and tie it around him. Works really well.

I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that. My cat has been playing with these flashing balls since early December 2013, and they're still flashing. This is only the beginning of February 2014, so now I'm curious to see how long the flashing lasts. My cat plays with these every day, and sometimes I see these balls flashing on their own for minutes on end without the cat or anyone disturbing them into activation.

By the "toys," do you mean the puffy balls? If so, they hang on small loops underneath the two top horizontal platforms. Unfortunately, they didn't seem to last long. My cats found ways to get them off within a couple weeks. Now they play with the balls on their own, rather than on the cat tree -- although they enjoyed them when they were hanging on the tree. I hope this information is helpful.

It is a hollow rubber ball with little nubs on them. I throw them inside for my dog all the time and have never left a mark on anything. They don't make a loud thud when they bounce off of the wall or floor but they aren't completely silent. I suppose if I lived in an apartment with paper thin walls I would avoid bouning them off of common walls but I wouldn't worry about bouncing them off of anything else. They make less noise than a tennis ball.

No, they are too light. My cat seems to pitch them in the air and play with them that way. They do roll but not far.

To: Doctor "K", I will look right now, so hold on. My cats are all so nutty, it is hard to tell if they are having that special "feeling" from one of their catnip toys. I ordered these because they have the rattles in them and when I throw them, I shake them first and they love that noise. Then it is like a herd of buffalo running for them. My veterinarian came to my home and told me that hands down, she has never ever seen so many cat toys. LOL From what I can see on the box and also read on the individual tag attached to each little mouse, there is no catnip in/on them.

No, they don't have a hard core. They are very soft and fuzzy. The Yeowww catnip balls, which I recently decided to order, do have a hard core & are larger, so I would not recommend those. My cats enjoyed the FUR ball brights, as well as the glitter pom toys, though the smaller ones can be easily swallowed. Also, we have tried fleece poms, as our cats like to play fetch.

They are soft...no noise that I remember but I was disappointed because it was just one, not a set of 2. Hope this helps! :)
