Are tinywhoops cat-safe? (lemmy.nz)

Just got my first flying thing and having lots of fun. Wondering if it can hurt my cat's paw if it tries to swat it? I guess I need to try with my own finger first, don't I?

My cats are so afraid of it, they'd never touch it. But it doesn't hurt my finger so I suppose it'll be fine. They would probably only do it once though.

Thanks! Yeah, this cat is not afraid because she's deaf. The other cat is terrified.

Ours bee lines to the basement when I just connect it. The beeping is his cue.

If it has guards around the props I’d say relatively safe for cats. The real question is “are cats safe for tinywhoops?” And yes, try with your own finger first. They sell cages to put around the props if you want to be extra safe, or you can 3D print them.
