Does this toy require batteries?

No batteries required. And, as far as I know, there is nothing available that could turn it into a battery driven toy.

It doesn't, no batteries required. Just a regular puzzle with giant pieces.

It doesn't need batteries. Mine too inexplicably stopped working after a short while. I had to return it.

Some Melissa and Doug puzzles do require batteries, such as the fire truck puzzle that makes truck noises as a reward when you finish. This puzzles though does not do that and does not require batteries. The puzzle may have been mislabeled since others do require batteries.

No_it needs no batteries. It is easy to put together and if your cats love to play, I am sure it is a great toy for them. Mine did not. After a few moments of curious play after that (blinking) ball, it was not interesting anymore. Mine are with toys as finicky with toys as they are with their food_ha-ha_! If you know your cat(s) well and you think this will animate them to play then go for it. I hoped mine would but they would rather rather play with a paper bag and a string. I gave it to the Salvation Army and hope someone hat cats that really love this. Hope this helps you. I believe this: you have to know your cat(s) to be one of those that love to busy themselves with toys like that. No_it needs no batteries.

No batteries required. The balls that you buy are already motion activated. They have a pull tab on them to activate. I'm not sure how long they last, but my first ball is still going strong and sometimes it goes off on its own and won't stop blinking!

It did come with batteries. However, it plays and then it stops. Plays and then it stops again. My two year old grand daughter loves it and says "oops, there it goes again." LOL

No, Frank I don't think it makes a purring sound or moves or anything; it's just a fluffy toy, so it does not need batteries

It comes ready to use with batteries in it. I believe it requires 2 AA Batteries but toy has gone to granddaughter's house so I cannot verify for certain. Sorry

No batteries. This is not an amplified device so therefore no batteries are used.

Yes it does and I love it. My granddaughter can play several days on a single charge, and I don't have to buy batteries. Best investment I ever bought. I hope this helps you.

Yes it does, and mine takes batteries as well, although I have never tried using batteries in it.

No batteries required, no battery charger required. This toy comes with a USB cable that you will insert into a device such as a PC.

yes. I don't have it in front of me right now but it uses the small ones, like AA or AAA. I don't think it came with batteries, but it does require them.

No, it does not require batteries. Just plug it in. It has a nice storage area for the cord underneath also.

It doesn't take any batteries :) My boys have had this game for a while and they still love playing with it.
