Catit Design Senses Circuit Cat Toy

This is a fantastic toy! I’ve spent a ton of money on all sorts of cat toys (robotic, remote control mice, and more traditional toys like wands, springs, catnip-filled plush animals, etc.). My cat is picky and bored easily (in other words, he’s a cat) and he played with this for 25 minutes straight as soon as I put it together! I thought putting it together was relatively simple. The pieces are in the box already somewhat lined up. Make sure that the blue top is the right fit to the corresponding white track bottom. The blue “legs“ then get pushed down into the bottom white slots, and make sure that the leg is lined up to the slot or else you’ll inadvertently push the leg over and out to the This is a fantastic toy!

And note that once you push the blue top piece down, you then push/slide it forward on the white track just a bit to lock it in place. The whole thing took a few minutes. If Bernie continues to love this toy so much, I’ll definitely buy extensions! … more

I bought this having already purchased the smaller track months ago. I anticipated a similar setup process. Boy, was that wrong. I’m sitting here with broken fingernails, sweaty legs, and a pulled myself in my back from trying to put this thing together. The pieces absolutely do not fit together well. You have to force them down and even then one piece slides in and the other stays put like NOPE. Heaven forbid you get a piece in place and try to move it because the locking mechanisms are garbage, just ask my broken fingernails. The cat is enjoying it, but I’m quite irritated at the amount of work required to assemble it.

Seems sturdy with modern design. Bought for BIRTHDAY BOYS (1 for each 2 total) to (Hopefully) Enrich and Engage them for a Stimulating afternoon. So, I could NOT Assemble this device even with a HAMMER. Snap and Play?NOT. Difficult to Insert ball for rotation around track. Ball would NOT Completely or Consistently Rotate around Entire track and Therefore Kitties Never Truly became ENGAGED or ENGROSSED with Birthday Toys as I’d hoped. Big Disappointment. If YOU like Playing with Kitty toys then BUY. If you’d prefer your kitty to have fun playing with a toy then NO. Sorry, and Don’t buy TWO

I had a version of this before in an S shape. I decided to get a bigger one this time around because my cats liked it last time. A good investment because they adore it! I thought they would not be able to push the ball over the little hills but they definitely can. It is much better in a continuous track because in the other the ball would reach the end and my cat would attempt to free the ball... which they did a lot. Here they cannot do that. The ball does light up and pulse too. I didn’t expect that but it is nice I think.

Not easy to put together, ball does not travel unless it is pushed vey hard, no end caps, so if the ball did travel it would roll out one of the ends. My cats are smart, but cannot pick up a plastic ball and put it back on the track. That would be the responsibility of someone with thumbs. So if it did work the thumbed person would have to constantly replace the ball. My cats were smart enough to know it wasn't going to be any fun, spent about 15 seconds checking it out, then walked away, never to return. Surprised Chewy is still carrying this waste of money.

We have a very active 11-month-old kitten so we thought a toy like this with more interaction would be perfect for him. My fiance and I have used Chewy for years and I don't ever remember being disappointed in anything we've purchased... until now. Trying to put this thing together was like trying to put a square peg in a round hole. Nothing lined up right even though we followed the directions. The only positive was even without the track, he's enjoying the flashy ball so I guess there's that.

Like others have said, the instructions included instructions for their other product "add-ons" without a lot of detailed instruction on how to put the track and cover together. No labels on the parts and pieces. I have two older cats and two that are less than two years old. Not ONE of them were interested in playing with it even if I got on the floor and showed them the ball moving around the track. They all just walked away. Will donate to a cat rescue organization.

According to the Chewy's rep, it's supposed to have end pieces so the ball doesn't roll out and you can arrange it how you want. The instruction manual says it is supposed have two end pieces, but it also doesn't even have the instruction manual for this item. Chewy's replaced the item and the second one was also missing the end pieces. Just be forewarned.

I recently rescued a feral kitten who has exactly 2 speeds: sleeping and full throttle. Unfortunately all of her siblings had been adopted out, so I was a bit concerned for her well being and development as she demands attention and wants me to play with her all day long, which is not feasible. This toy has been a lifesaver! It keeps her entertained for with constant movement and and flashing light from the ball. The track can be reconfigured into a different shape if kitty starts to get board. My little girl is FASCINATED. She did manage to get the ball out on a couple of occasions, and chased it all over the house, which I think only adds to the thrill of the hunt for her.

My cats really enjoy ball toys and I was excited to get this for them. They like it and have fun with it, so for that I'm giving 3 stars.The reason it's not 5 is the assembly. I read the reviews and honestly don't typically find things all that hard to put together, so I wasn't worried. But this was unreal. The plastic pieces just don't work well together and while I still don't have all of them perfectly set up, at least the ball does still roll. I don't think lack of instructions or strength is an issue, I think it's just poor manufacturing. I'd say if you don't feel great about assembling products or don't want the aggravation of putting together what is a cute toy, skip it.
