My cat loves to play with this! It’s decently sturdy and he immediately went for the ball in the middle. I like to use this as a puzzle for treats too! He’ll even swat the mouse during zoomies. By far one of his favorite toys. He did manage to take the little ball in the middle out, so that’s lost under our couches haha, but I placed a different ball inside and he still loves it. 8yrs old and still playing with toys! Highly recommend.

They love this ball track toy! From day one, they loved getting the balls out of the top, and batting at the toy. The only bad thing about this toy is the ball in the track kept coming out. While they loved to chase it around, finding it to put back in the track was a different story! I wish the track was able to keep the ball contained, other than that this toy was a hit!

Balls fall out, off the tracks

Overpriced due to weak build quality. I think it's intended for this type of toy for the balls to stay in the toy, to entertain the cat for a good play session without need for pet parents to do much (but watch). But the main piece is flimsy and the balls easily fall out and get lost. I like that the balls are easier for cats to see and touch/ bat around, because the track is semi transparent and has holes so they can see the balls moving. Would like to get some slightly larger balls, to help this toy reach its potential. If I have to re-design it, why did I pay over $15 for it?

This toy has 1 problem

I feel bad for my kitten:( He LOVES this toy!! It's to bad the balls won't stay in it. The inner ball comes out really really easy so I put it in the outside ring

I feel bad for my kitten:( He LOVES this toy!! It's to bad the balls won't stay in it. The inner ball comes out really really easy so I put it in the outside ring and it stays for a short time then within a few minutes they are both knocked out. I put a large marble in the inner circle for him so he could have some continuous playtime without me constantly searching for the balls. he likes the marble. He loved the balls too so now he just chases them around the house.

The balls are very easy for the cat to remove. I was thinking that the idea is for the cat to only be able to slap it around and NOT be able to get it out of the track. While the cat does seem to like it, once he takes the ball out of the track, its game over. Need something that won't allow the ball to come out of its track.

My little guy loves it!

I realized my cat prefers circular ball tracks and decided to add this to his collection. I think it’s his favorite so far! He will lay down and bat the ball around the track over and over and it keeps him occupied for a good long while. I think part of why he enjoys it is that he can fit both his paws in the track and bap the ball back and forth between them. He is also able to see the ball from both the top and the side so he can better gauge his angle of attack. He isn’t interested in the mouse on top, but I wasn’t expecting he would be. I can say that it sticks quite snuggly into the base. The major complaint I have is that, like most other ball track toys, it is very light. I wish the base was a bit heavier so that it wouldn’t move so much when my cat gets really into it. I have to move it back to its original spot on the floor because it is so easy for him to kick it around. If he was interested in the mouse I would be worried that he would tip the whole thing over if he batted it. The balls at the center of the base aren’t very secure either. It’s great that the openings at the top are large enough for paws to easily fit through, but it also means it’s easy for the balls to be scooped out (especially since they are so light). The good news is that they could probably be replaced by something heavier. Overall, my cat and I are very pleased with the product. It’s engaging from all angles and there is plenty of room on the track to fit his paws.

Played with it somewhat. But not as enthused as I thought she would be.

We rescued three abandoned kittens a couple weeks ago. They're adapting well to indoor life, and of course they have a ton of energy and plenty of toys to play with. This toy has been by far the favorite! They are constantly playing with it, and as the picture shows, there is enough going on that all three can play at once. I would definitely recommend this!

Years ago, I bought an original round-a-bout cat toy for my indoor kitty but had a hard time finding a new one for my two feral kitties we house in the garage for the winter. Then, I found Catstages Cheese Chase on Chewy. I have to say, I kind a like this one better than the original. It is so well constructed, engineered to enable the ball to roll smoother and has a better ball grip. To boot, it's pretty. So cost affordable also. Get it, buy a second one and a third for a friend.
