Catit Senses 2.0 Super Circuit Interactive Cat Toy - 12-Piece Closed-Track Ball Toy for All Breed Sizes

I AM going to review this product, the "Catit Senses 2.0 Super Circuit", but first, I must indulge my preachy side. To wit: If, like me, you're a relative newbie to cats, there are several things you need to know! I'm not going to tell you ALL of those things, because you need to find out for yourselves! (Heh, heh, yuk, yuk) But, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING is this: Don't be a typically selfish human! Your cat won't be happy, and you'll hate yourself in the morning! Sure, you may be congratulating yourself on adopting a sweet little homeless kitty and granting yourself Platinum status in the Realm of Good Humans, but unless you're willing to put in the many hours needed to truly, deeply interact and connect with Mr/Ms Cat, you will end up on the Trash Heap of Humans! Not Good! No matter what toy you buy, NOTHING will be as satisfying to your cat - and ultimately to YOU - than YOUR involvement! So. That said... this toy by Catit is very useful for your cat, and it's very well-built. It's rather over-engineered, in fact. But that means it'll last a long time. If you can't put it together and take it apart and put it back together again in 5 minutes, then you shouldn't be allowed to drive a car, use the internet, or be allowed anywhere NEAR forks and knives. If you CAN assemble it, Mr/Ms Cat will likely be FASCINATED for a short time... but will come back to it tomorrow or the next day, and keep you awake while you're trying to take a nap! THAT'S A GOOD THING! It means the toy has engaged kitty's sense of curiosity and predation! (Look it up.) Cats are predators, in terms of wanting to eat, AND in terms of wanting to find, stalk, and attack something! This toy will likely help them do that. Not 24/7 maybe, but enough to warrant your purchase. PRO TIP: Buy two other products from Amazon at the same time: "Champion Sports Colored Lacrosse Balls" (2 for 7.99) and "Meizhouer Ping Pong Balls" (12 for 5.99). Think of the "Catit Senses 2.0 Super Circuit" as the toy you hope Mr/Ms Cat will play with while you're away, and think of the Lacrosse and Ping Pong balls as the devices YOU will used to interact with kitty! They roll, they bounce, they make interesting noises... and when you're not around, the ball in the Super Circuit becomes a temporary replacement for you. Listen up, people, I wouldn't have a spleen's chance of engaging my kitty (a handsome and truly good fellow named Beau) if it weren't for a collection of "cat engagement aids." Multiple toys, a variety of foods, a wire brush, a kitty water fountain, nail clippers, a repertoire of funny sounds, sweet words and subtle movements... ALL are part of being a responsible human companion to cats. If all this seems too much for you, don't get a cat. In fact, don't get any sort of living creature. Just watch TikTok videos and stay out of the way. The Man With The Spleen

The media could not be loaded. My one-year-old kitty is obsessed with this toy! It kept him entertained for a solid 30 minutes before he finally crashed for a nap. I definitely recommend it! It's super easy to snap together and take apart, so you can make all sorts of tracks—a circle or a long line, thanks to the edge pieces. Seriously keeps my kitty busy and happy.The ball that comes with it is a bit noisy on the track, but it's simple to swap in a quieter one if you need to. (We sometimes use a pink ball at night to keep things a little quieter but still fun—though it's not included with the toy.) Honestly, it's not a big deal at all, and my kitty loves it no matter which ball we use! :)

Very easy to assemble once you figure out the tabs, difficult to take the green bits off once you put them on, though.Works best if you get rid of the end caps and just make it a circle, that way the ball can loop around if they smack it really hard.My cat /loves/ this toy. It's his favorite thing and he'll play with it for hours. He was initially afraid of it, but once I took the bell out of the ball and showed him how it worked, he was hooked, and especially likes it if you flick the ball back at him.He's also learned how to be lazy with it too, so when he's tired of running around and pouncing on it, he just lays on it and yanks the track toward him until he can reach the ball to hit it again.The only reason I cannot give it 5 stars is that someone decided that the ball needed holes in it that are big enough to fit claws, and my boy can easily wrench it out of the gaps in the track that are barely small enough to contain the ball, causing it to be easily lost. You can replace it with a pingpong ball, but he likes to chew on those. I'd love it if there was an option for a hard plastic ball just like the one this comes with, but with no holes or bell. That said, I might order another set of tracks to expand the one I have.

I bought this Amazon Refurbished, but it still arrived with two of the tabs (the ones that slide the top parts into the bottoms and keep the pieces together) broken off. One tab was loose in the box and one was missing altogether, suggesting the item had been mailed/packed in its broken state. Of course it was the LAST piece I put on, after 20 minutes of putting it together, and I at that point wasn't going to take it apart and send it back for another one because my three cats were already very interested in it. After a few minutes I realized that the cats were able to pop the ball out due to the green piece with the missing tabs, so I taped down that unsecured piece with packaging tape and now it seems like the ball can't escape. The cats love it.
