Catit Design Senses Circuit Cat Toy

I admit the pieces were a little hard to click together, but it wasn't rocket science. Following the steps in the instructions made it clear and easy. I had the whole thing assembled in about 10-15 minutes with little difficulty. All of the blue covers snap into place quite firmly, except for one, which is designed with a slide lock. This allows you to remove it easily, as needed. The light up balls only flash when they are rolling fast enough, so if they're not blinking, try flicking them around a little harder. I showed my cat how that worked, and he took over from there. I could hear him playing with it all night downstairs the first day, and he's been smacking it around every day since.

This toy arrived today. To my surprise I was able to assemble without too much difficulty under the supervision of my two kittens and they took to it right away, but the ball rolls out of the tunnel easily and I had to retrieve them from under furnitures every few minutes which became a pain quickly. Then I realized there should have been two end caps as shown in the the little booklet but were not included in the box. I stuffed a rolled-up sock in each end but my two smart kittens pull them out easily and the ball rolls away again. Other than that I think this could be really entertaining for the fur babies and their parents.

The second it was out of the box my cats were on this. They love the blinking ball; I thought it was a gimmick, but no, the cats love it. The ball was MIA overnight the first night (they knocked it out), replaced with a regular ball that was ignored; blinking ball back in, they're back on it. Still a hit two days later, ordering a second one to double it's size. Winner!

Very, very hard on the fingers to put together. I struggled to just "click" it in place due to the incredibly tight fitting pieces. Awesome concept; however super finicky. Ball stays on without being played with or is activated with floor vibrations (wood floor). The slots on top for paws to reach thru are somewhat tiny and the ball lasted maybe at best 3 weeks from being on 50% of the time when not even in use. I honestly don't recommend.

It took me forever to put it together. The pieces do not fit well together and requires some strength. Also, my cats at 10 years old and they are not as playful so I do not recommend for older cats. I think for younger cats it would be enjoyable and fun to watch them play with it. Chewy by the way is outstanding. I ordered this and two other products and they came very quickly. Impressive. And, their prices are very, very competitive.

I just got this toy today (man, that was fast delivery!), and it was the first of three toys I wanted to try with Rocky, my kitten (I call him my kit-TEEN, since he's starting his teenage-to-adult stage). I'll start with the setup process: Now, this was the only thing that started to disappoint me, but luckily I figured out how to handle it, so all is good...The pieces are supposed to "snap" together, but a lot of the pieces just wouldn't align, let alone snap evenly and lock. I had to use a hammer, and with light to medium force, I tapped each piece into alignment. None of the pieces broke or cracked, for the record, so thank God for that.

Now, onto the good stuff: Once I got the ball going and everything put together, Rocky was curious...but not forthright...at first. Next thing I know, he started batting the ball, saw it lit up and rolling along the path, and it was over from there! He became so immersed with this toy, that he played with it for over an hour and a half straight! At some point, he rolled on his back, showed me his fluffy belly, and looked at me...which is his sign of complete happiness and contentment! I'd say this was the best cat toy I've bought for him thus far. The price was great, too, so a total win-win. Don't know how long the parts last, or what stuff might need replaced (especially with a kitten who loves to play for hours), but so far I am completely happy with my purchase, and so is Rocky! … more

I have 3 cats who love similar ball & track toys but something about this catit circuit toy just isn’t working for them. The hills built into the toy slow down the ball and the openings through which the cats can bat the ball forward are quite small. No matter how I configure it, the ball moves too slowly or gets stuck & they lose interest & go back to their other toys. As others have noted, it’s also very difficult to connect & disconnect the tracks on this item.

As other reviewers have said, the pieces of this don’t snap together easily at all which made it difficult to put together. Once I did have it together the top guards wouldn’t stay in place no matter how much I tried. This led to my cat pulling them off and the dogs getting hold of the ball within. I’m not expecting the highest quality product ever for the price but something that can at least hold together would be nice. I’m sure my cat would have loved it if it worked.

But... it was a pain to put together, the tracks are hard to click in place. Also didn’t realize the cover not only snaps in but also slides to lock - they kept popping off the cover and stealing the ball! I got that all locked up but then they try to chew to cover off, so I won’t let them play unsupervised. They love it and would play with it all night if I’d stay up with them!

I DID finally get this together...combined two into a large circuit. Both boxes missing the end pieces. 4 cats not interested. Decided they they might prefer an open track and tried to get off the blue tops by sliding them off, as per instructions. I've tried everything. Guess I need to find an 8 year-old or a Mercedes technician to figure it out or out it goes. I don't recommend due to difficulty assembling and disassembling. Over-engineered.
