Setup

Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge the MigiBox Plus using the provided USB-C cable. The charging port is located on the side of the main unit. A full charge ensures optimal performance and play duration.

Assembling the MigiBox Plus

The MigiBox Plus is designed for immediate use. Ensure the feather attachments are securely placed in the designated slots. The toy features 4 holes on the top face and 8 holes on its sides from which feathers will randomly emerge.

Switching to PopSkin Mode

To activate the PopSkin mode, you must install the special rod head designed for this function. This rod head ensures the hidden surprise pops up correctly beneath the soft fabric. Carefully follow the instructions in the manual for proper installation to avoid damage.

Setting up the Cardboard Cat Toy

The product packaging itself can be transformed into an interactive toy. Simply poke out the pre-perforated holes along the dashed lines on the box. You can then place the included crinkle ball and plush ball inside, or add your cat's favorite small toys or freeze-dried treats. This encourages your cat to paw and grab through the holes.

Operating Instructions

Automatic Operation

The MigiBox Plus features a motion sensor that activates the toy when a cat approaches within 1 meter (approximately 3 feet). It operates day and night, allowing your cat to engage in self-play even when you are busy. After 5 minutes of activity, the toy will enter standby mode until motion is detected again.

MigiBox Plus Play

In MigiBox Plus mode, two feathers will randomly pop in and out from the 4 top holes and 8 side holes. This unpredictable movement stimulates your cat's curiosity, enhances their hunting instincts, and provides mental stimulation, helping to alleviate boredom and anxiety.

PopSkin Play

When the PopSkin is installed, the toy creates a "moving secret under a blanket" effect. A hidden element randomly pops up beneath the soft, plush fabric, enticing your cat to watch, pounce, and try to catch the movement. This mimics natural prey behavior and provides a different type of interactive challenge.

Cardboard Cat Toy Play

Utilize the specially designed packaging cardboard as a separate interactive toy. By poking out the pre-marked holes, you create an engaging puzzle for your cat. Place the included plush and crinkle balls, or other small toys and treats, inside the box. Your cat will enjoy pawing and grabbing through the holes to retrieve the items, providing a simple yet effective form of enrichment.

Maintenance

Cleaning the PopSkin

The baby-grade plush PopSkin is washable. For best results, hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before reattaching to the MigiBox Plus. Ensure no moisture enters the electronic components of the main unit.

Replacing Attachments

The MigiBox Plus comes with multiple replaceable attachments, including feathers and fabric refills for the PopSkin. To replace a feather, gently pull the old feather out from its base and insert a new one, ensuring it is securely seated. Additional refill packs are available for purchase to ensure continuous play.

Troubleshooting

Toy Not Activating

• Check Battery: Ensure the toy is fully charged. Connect it to the USB-C cable and allow it to charge for at least 2 hours.

• Power On: Confirm the toy is switched on.

Feathers Not Moving Smoothly

• Obstructions: Check for any debris or foreign objects inside the toy that might be hindering the feather mechanism.
• Feather Condition: Ensure the feathers are not overly worn or tangled. Replace them if necessary.

PopSkin Not Popping Up

• Correct Rod Head: Confirm that the special "Skin Stick" rod head is correctly installed for PopSkin mode. Refer to the "Switching to PopSkin Mode" section in Setup.
• Proper Placement: Ensure the PopSkin cover is correctly aligned and not obstructing the internal mechanism.

• Depression/Loneliness: The automatic and interactive nature of the toy provides consistent engagement, reducing feelings of loneliness and boredom when owners are away.
• Disturbing Work/Sleep: By providing an independent play outlet, the toy can redirect your cat's energy and attention, minimizing disruptions during your work or sleep hours.
• Anxiety/Boredom: The varied play modes and unpredictable movements offer mental and physical stimulation, which can significantly reduce anxiety and boredom.
