However, others say that the ink is too light and the type is too small. In every language, the top see-thru plastic track covers aren't very big/wide and barely allows the cat to reach through to hit the ball. The slots seem a bit small but I think my cats would love it.

175 customers mention42 positive133 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the stability of the pet toy. They mention that the top falls off if they touch it, the ball does not continue to move for long without being pushed, and the tracks refuse to push down seamlessly. The covers of the tracks come off easily, and at least 3 of the blue plastic tops had fallen off. The slots are too small or the sliding pieces too large at times, which means the ball is very easily lost.

"...By the way the balls do not move on their own but they really don't need to. Now go purchase one (or two) for your picky player kitties!..." Read more

"...The flashing light inside the ball does not shut off reliably when the ball stops, which will shorten its life somewhat..." Read more

"...all of 15 minutes to get the ball out of the track because three of the tops had come off with just him batting at it inside the holes...." Read more

"...what i’m most amazed by is how well the ball keeps going on the track...." Read more

Maine Coon loves it
5 Stars
Maine Coon loves it
I've been looking at this toy for our Maine Coon ever since we brought him home at 3 months old (Dec 2018). I finally bought it this week and he loves it. I assembled it on the kitchen island with him watching (yes, he gets up there and we've given up trying to keep him off!) and as soon as I put the ball inside and attached the last blue top, he was at it figuring it out. Didn't take him more than 2 seconds to start batting the ball around. He played for a good 25 minutes before taking a break and then he came back to play with it some more.Near the end of that play session he started picking up the track and biting it to try to get the ball out. I have two additional balls ordered and I plan to put two inside the track at a time (if that works right). I also plan to let him play with the extra ball on the floor now and then after he has played with the track so that he feels like he got "the prize". I don't want him to get frustrated that he can never get that ball out of there!This track seems to be super durable to me. Assembling the first two pieces took me a moment, but after that it was pretty easy. Snapping the tops/lids in place is easy too but I'm wondering how to get one of those off now. I tried and couldn't do it. I'll try again later. Just curious, there isn't a real need for me to do so. I can unsnap two sections to insert the other ball if the lid won't come off.One thing, I can see how a cat's paw can get caught in the openings, either in the lids or between the sections. Especially a kitty with big paws like Floki's. I saw him kind of tug a couple times when his paw was turned so that it was stuck a bit but he seemed to figure out about putting his paw in sideways. Once he was licking his paw a bit and I wondered if he's gotten hurt but I didn't see any problem. For this reason though, we won't let him play with this unattended. It stays in the back room with closed door and I'll bring it out for him to use when we are there to watch and make sure there are no mishaps.Floki was biting at the blue lids near the end of his play time because he really wanted that ball! He's got big fangs and he's quite strong (Maine Coon) but I seriously doubt that he could bite a piece of this plastic loose and swallow it - at least not easily. Since he won't be using it unattended though, this is not a big concern.Someone else mentioned in their review about the small padded "feet" on the bottom of the toy. Those are there to keep it from sliding around too much on a bare floor. It still moved around on our kitchen island even with those but ours will be on a carpeted floor anyhow. I am aware of those little feet though since I read that other review. They aren't loose but Floki could definitely pull them off if he flipped it over and he's well known for flipping lots things over! For that reason I may pull those little feet off. I don't see it as a huge concern right now because the loop configuration we have this track in makes it hard for a cat to turn the whole thing over but when we start trying other configurations it may be easier for him to do that. So just be aware of those rubber/foam feet on the bottom and that a cat *might* be able to get to them and pull them off.I would say that Floki's paws are close to being about as big as paws can be and still fit in the openings and still be able to move around to swat at the balls and then be able to pull his paws out without them getting caught all the time. For regular-sized cats, this shouldn't be a problem. He's still growing so if that becomes an issue I think my husband can use a dremel to carve out a little more space in the openings and then sand them smooth.Anyhow, this toy is a big hit with Floki and with us. We really got a kick out of watching Floki play with it. This is our first full-time indoor cat (he goes out on a leash and has a big enclosure but he's never loose outside) and I'm concerned about keeping him happy and fit. I believe this toy will be great to help keep him from getting bored. It won't be out for him every day so that hopefully he doesn't get tired of it when I do bring it out.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Cats Love It!
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2019
My cats love this toy so much they are playing with it as I write this review.
I purchased one of these based on the reviews because my cats (especially one in particular) get bored of their toys within a few weeks so I was really hopefully this one would keep them entertained longer. I was hopefully that the reviewers were giving their honest opinion about their cats not getting bored of it. It's been over a month since I got one and they are still loving it and playing with it every day. I will even hear them playing with it at night!
At first my picky player kitty (not shown in photo) wasn't too into it but I made sure to interact with the toy with my cats so they could get the hang of it and now they both can't get enough.
I have two tracks now because sadly the first one was damaged before it even reached me so it was sent back before my cats could even enjoy it. But the company was super quick and sent out a new one the same day. Although I was a bit quicker and decided to just purchase another one instead of waiting a couple hours. I didn't return the extra one I purchase and I'm very glad I didn't! I think one track would be fine for one cat but two tracks or more are best for multiple cats.
When reading the reviews I noticed some people said their cats paws were too big to stick into the holes and others said they were afraid their cats would hurt themselves. My girls are respectively 9 and 10 lbs so they're not monster cats, just average so perhaps some bigger kitties might have this issue, especially if you have a bobcat... I'm not worried about them hurting themselves because they are smart and know better, but if you are worried then supervise your cat(s) until you're confident they won't hurt themselves.
One thing I noticed people also mentioned in reviews was their balls not lighting up. They ARE suppose to light up but it was a little tricky to get them to work. There is a plastic tab you're suppose to pull out of this little slot in the ball that will then allow them to light up. Problem is with both of my balls... you could hardly see the tab and I needed tweezers to pull them out. That's one thing that should be addressed but otherwise it's a great product that my kitties absolutely love. When I think they will start getting bored I'll change their track to look different and it will be like a new toy all over again! By the way the balls do not move on their own but they really don't need to. Now go purchase one (or two) for your picky player kitties! You won't be disappointed!

4.0 out of 5 stars surprisingly great cat toy with a few caveats
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2022
overall, i was happily surprised by the large size, sturdiness, effectiveness, and value of this toy. however, i do have a few issues with it.

this toy is quite large and sturdy for the price! at the time of purchase, i paid approximately $15 total. at petco, i found a similar toy that is flimsier, smaller, and less complex for $20, for perspective.

what i’m most amazed by is how well the ball keeps going on the track. when purchasing, i was worried that this would take me back to my hot wheel days with the tracks that never actually worked. however, on this toy it doesn’t take much to get the ball going and it keeps going. good physics for $15!

my issues with this toy are that #1 - the ball’s battery cannot be changed (for the light up function) and #2 - the pieces of plastic that lock the guards together can bend which makes taking off the guards difficult.

i would expect the ball to have a rechargeable or replaceable battery, but i was wrong! kind of odd concerning most toys allow for this.

i found it helpful for my cat to take a few of the guards off the track (see pics). however, the pieces that lock the guards in can bend and you could spend all day trying to take them off. i only realized they had bent when i flipped it over. i had to use a popsicle stick to hold the bent piece in place while i slid the track off. it wasn’t that difficult once i figured it out, but it does take away from the function.

i do recommend this toy for your cat despite the few issues. it’s a great buy.

I don't see it as a huge concern right now because the loop configuration we have this track in makes it hard for a cat to turn the whole thing over but when we start trying other configurations it may be easier for him to do that. So just be aware of those rubber/foam feet on the bottom and that a cat *might* be able to get to them and pull them off.

I would say that Floki's paws are close to being about as big as paws can be and still fit in the openings and still be able to move around to swat at the balls and then be able to pull his paws out without them getting caught all the time. For regular-sized cats, this shouldn't be a problem. He's still growing so if that becomes an issue I think my husband can use a dremel to carve out a little more space in the openings and then sand them smooth.

Anyhow, this toy is a big hit with Floki and with us. We really got a kick out of watching Floki play with it. This is our first full-time indoor cat (he goes out on a leash and has a big enclosure but he's never loose outside) and I'm concerned about keeping him happy and fit. I believe this toy will be great to help keep him from getting bored. It won't be out for him every day so that hopefully he doesn't get tired of it when I do bring it out.

Meus gatos adoraram. Ficaram curiosos e tentam pegar a bolinha. Só não deixo o brinquedo o tempo todo para eles não enjoarem e também não ficarem frustrados por não conseguirem pegar a bolinha. Uma ótima distração. Recomendo

Über den Tag ist der leuchtene Ball schon sehr verlockend , aber so bald es dunkler wird , wird noch wilder dankt gespielt . Die kleinen sind schon verrückt danach ;)
Der Aufbau war kinderleicht und es gäbe sogar Erweiterungen um es nochmal interessanter zu gestalten.
Zusätzlich macht es einen sehr stabilen Eindruck und gute Verarbeitung.
Sehr zu empfehlen.

My kitten is absolutely obsessed with this toy. He plays with it all the time and has now even started using it as one of his favourite places to sleep. If you're unsure, I 100% recommend! He's so happy with it and so am I
