Catit Design Senses Play Circuit, Original

I only have one cat (currently), and feel bad I have to leave her during the day with virtually nothing to do, but become mischevious. She has a bunch of toys that periodically get lost under the fridge, beneath the couch, etc. So I did a search for 'Interactive cat toys' and discovered Catit products. I then looked at several videos on You Tube. The thing that caught my attention was that the ball rolled effortlessly around the track. When it got to the ends, it would bounce back, kind of like when one plays pinball. So I felt it would keep cats entertained because they didn't have to do too much work to move the ball down the complete track. And they can stick their paw in at several places to always have access to the ball, without being able to take the ball out of the track and lose it.MY CAT LOVES THIS THING!!! Really easy to put together. I bought 2 tracks for her because one looked too small. I can change the configurations to hold her interest even more. She pounced, swatted, leaped, twisted, stretched, and ran around the tracks until she wore her furry butt out. Good exercise, physical and mental, which also seemed perfect for an indoor cat. The ball makes a slight rolling sound and is not annoyingly noisy. The Play Circuit is lightweight and easy for me to pick it up and move it to a different part of the room, when needed. I can even coil it around the base of the table leg. With cats, I have learned that with some toys -- it's all about placement within a room, or they have no interest. Every cat is different. But with the Play Circuit, I really do think it can peek ANY cat's curiousity. If your cat seems to bat at anything that moves, they will enjoy this. I only wish I had seen this years ago for my other cats. I HIGHLY recommend this!!Oh, I also got the massager station. She hasn't warmed up to it yet but I hope she will. Again, sometimes it's all about placement, to peek their interest. I wanted the scratchpad but it got poor Amazon reviews, saying that it came apart too easily. Thanks Amazon Reviewers!

I am a new cat owner to an indoor/outdoor stray who recently adopted me, so I am learning all of this for the 1st time. I searched for some toys online and thought the Hagen products looked very good, well built and had very high ratings. I decided to try 2 of them, the Catit Design Senses Play Circuit & The Pet Massager. My cat is extraordinarily independant and has a very short attention span. He plays with a toy for 1 or 2 minutes and is then off to the next room. So I didn't really know what to expect. My only other purchase so far was a plush cat bed that he snubs his nose at and a scratching board he wont use. Honestly, I didnt know what to expect.When I opened the box I was very pleased to see how well each toy was made. Both were easy to put together. Despite how long my cat ends up playing with them, I would definately recommend this to cat owners, especially indoor cats who need additional toys to keep them busy. It is clear this company puts a lot of time into there toys. They make high quality item, and have a great understanding of cat senses & interaction. I only go these toys today, so I expect my cat to increase playtime the more he is around the toys.I took the Play Circuit out of the box, it was very easy to put together (only took about 30 seconds). My biggest decision was which way to setup the track. I chose 1 long wave. He immediately ran over and started pushing the ball. Once he realized he could control it, he was so excited. But I was so excited to see him run up to the toy, interact with it and get excited.The Cat Massager was also easy to assemble. Only 1 peice to snap in the middle, and insert catnip for added kitty enjoyment. There is also a rubbermat that surround it so it doesnt go sliding. My cat attacked the center peice, which had catnip and a gum stimulator. At first I thought he was going nuts for the catnip (which may have helped) but then I saw him chewing on the gum stimulator and realized he was loving it. He spent the most time on this then anything yet. I tried to get him to use the massager part, but he was too busy chewing. I am sure with time he will figure that out. This is the cutest item, and I love that it can be connected to the Play Circuit.I intend to add to this collection of Hagen products.
