Bergan Star Chaser Turbo Scratcher Cat Toy, Color Varies

I have five cats, and two of them are in love with this toy; the other three have no interest. But the two who love it--one of whom is obsessed--have not lost interest in it in nearly 2 years of having this toy. One of them will spin it and spin it and spin it...left paw, right paw....If you have someone who takes naps during the day, you may want to re-think this toy. It is quite loud, but we find it funny when we're downstairs and hear the characteristic 'whoosh, whoosh, whoosh' upstairs of our cat whipping the ball around! The scratcher part of the toy is a big hit with all of our cats. The pad is replaceable when worn and inexpensive to replace, but the one drawback is that the tabs I have five cats, and two of them are in love with this toy; the other three have no interest.

I have a 6 month old Siamese Kitten. She is very playful and delights in jumping, chasing things with her paws etc. This has been great for her. I have to put it away at night or she is up playing instead of sleeping like the rest of us. She jumps over it, thru it and around it. Chases the ball in all kinds of contortions. She really enjoys. I can't imagine any cat that wouldn't love it and interact with it. It is worth the money.

I got this toy in hopes that my almost blind senior would be able to see the lights flashing. At first, I thought she could see the flashing light that's in the ball, but then realized she was hearing the ball roll around the circular tunnel, not seeing it. That didn't inspire her, so I'm gifting this to someone who is getting a cat this month. I'm absolutely sure that a sighted cat would go bonkers over this toy! My cat did like the scratch pad in the middle, but it makes more sense to me to get a different scratch pad and gift this to a kitty that will enjoy it fully.

Usually I don't respond to Chewy requests for reviews but I am making an exception for this item. Having Maine Coons, I want to keep them happy and interested but you can't spend your whole day amusing them. This toy fascinates them both (more one than the other but still) and they haven't tired of it yet. We like watching them chase, twist, attack the ball as if it were prey. It gives them good exercise, and amuses them at various points during the day, and at night (we hear the ball whirring). I highly recommend it.

My cat immediately took to this toy. We don't use the catnip. I just set it up on my floor (carpeted), and she started playing. Sometimes she's off to the side, or sometimes she lies in the center. I also set it up next to another toy i have with balls so she will sit on this one and play with that (she's been playing with it more now that she has this one too)

My cat is afraid of noisy toys, so other similar chaser circle toys haven’t worked out. My cat loves this one! The material of the ball doesn’t create as loud a noise and when it slows down it changes directions, which continues to peak his interest. He loves the scratcher in the middle too. Highly recommend!

Cat toys are always small and delicate and our dogs destroy them within seconds or swallow them. Our dogs have not touched this toy at all and have no interest in it. The first one arrived with a dead light up ball but chewy replaced it immediately for us and the new one that lights up is much more attractive to the cats

One of my cats absolutely loves this thing and plays with it multiple times a day. I bought an extra ball for it, which seems to attract her even more when they clack together and start flashing again. I like that the cardboard scratcher can be replaced since she and one of my males adore cardboard scratchers. It's a little on the small side for my 10-lb. male, but just the right size for my 6-lb. female. Great toy that seems like it will last and be a favorite for a long time

My more playful cat loves this toy so far! The scratcher in the middle is a nice bonus. Our other cat who typically isn’t in to playing with anything will swat at it a bit when I push the ball around but doesn’t seem interested in it otherwise. I think you will know based on your cat’s personality if they’d like this toy or not.

It slips and slides all over the floor. If my cats scratch at it they pull it to them and if they try to use the groomer the toy flys away from them. It only took a few minutes for my cats to learn to stay away from this toy. I jumped the gun and also ordered the refill and the grooming bar, both are worthless due to the fact they go with an unusable scratcher. I was not worried about the ball, the other ratings were good. Maybe if my house was carpeted this would have been a better rating.
