What we take from it The Furbo to buy for a cat or a small room. Same idea, less of it, at half the price.
What it is
The compact Furbo: a rotating 360° pet camera with a treat dispenser and
alerts for barking and meowing.
The cat case
Almost every pet camera is sold as a dog product. Meowing alerts are a small
thing that signals otherwise, and in a multi-cat house the ability to hear
which room the complaining is coming from is more useful than another lens.
What it shares with the big one
The rotating head, the treat launcher, and Furbo’s subscription model. What it
does not share is capacity: a smaller body means a smaller treat hopper and
more frequent refills.
The same camera is also sold locked, at half the price
Furbo lists the Mini twice on amazon.com. This one is “Core Features, No
Ongoing Cost” at ≈ $99. The other, B0F8LGB7VR, is “Paid Plan Required to
Activate” at $49 — and publishes its terms: a yearly plan at $6.99 a
month, or a monthly plan with a $29.97 activation fee covering the first
three months, then $9.99 a month. “No features are available before
activation”, and “if you cancel, core features remain”.
On the Mini the arithmetic is tighter than on the big Furbo 360, because the
saving is smaller: $49 + $29.97 is $78.97 against $99 here, so the locked
route saves about twenty dollars rather than eighty. Take the yearly plan
instead and it costs more than this listing outright. At this price the
simpler purchase is the one with nothing to activate.
What the listing does not say
Resolution, field of view, hopper size, treat dimensions. Furbo’s listing for
this model is unusually thin, and we would rather note that than invent
numbers to fill the table.

The questions owners ask
Is it worth having a camera for a cat?
For most cats, honestly, less than for a dog: cats left alone tend to sleep. Where it earns its place is a cat that is new to a home, one recovering from something, or a household trying to work out which cat is doing what — and the meowing alerts are the feature that fits that.
What is the difference from the full-size 360?
Size, treat capacity and price, with the same rotating view. If the room is small and the animal is a cat, this is the sensible one; for a large room and a dog, the bigger camera holds more treats and sees further.
Do the barking alerts work?
Furbo publishes the feature and no measured accuracy figure, which is the norm across this whole category. Treat it as a prompt to look at the live view rather than as a reliable log — and if barking is the problem you are investigating, a count over time matters more than an individual alert.

Full HD · 360° rotation · color night vision · treat tossing
The camera the category is named after: full HD with a rotating 360° view, color night vision and a treat launcher. This is the basic-camera listing, without a bundled subscription.
Best for: A dog left alone that reacts to a voice, in a room too big for a fixed lens.
