Awesome cat toy. I got my little Silver, five year old, ten pound female, this Petstages

Tower of Tracks. She loves it so much it's fun for both of us. Silver gets a little rougher with it than the cat in the video. She charges it, bowls it over, gets it rolling around on it's edge, knocks it upside down and still keeps wacking the balls around. At about ten bucks, you can't go wrong.

Right at first I was afraid she'd played with it, seen what it could do, then was going to ignore it. It kind of looked that way. I could see the balls had moved though, so she was messing with it some. She got more and more into it and now plays with it all the time. It's the best thing I have ever bought for her.

You can get motion activated flashing balls to put in those lanes. Try it with the lights off. Rainbow Droid May 2018 #9

I'm going to order this for my son & his g.f.'s 4 kitties. Add a little nip to those blue edges to make it even more intriguing for them.

Strange how we can be so entertained by our pets.

My cat's favorite toy was a ball attached to a piece of fish line which was tied onto a blade of the ceiling fan. With the proper length line and weight of ball, the ball would dance all over the place. The cat would try all sorts of tactics. The running pounce, the balance on back legs and bat, the back of couch glare, as well as the vertical leap. The cat never tired of this. I would shut it off in fear of exhausting the cat.

...our tabbypoint Siamese mix is too smart -- he knows it's a beam coming from the human's hand and tries to investigate (i.e. look into it).

I was thinking about getting one, but some of the Amazon reviewers said that their kitties got their heads caught in the top before the design change added the bar. Unfortunately, the older ones might still be sent out. If there’s no bar on yours, might want to improvise something. Otherwise, it looks like a very cool toy.

Our cats love the frizzy worm with a little bell on the end of a fishing rod and line, but that's a lot of work for us. This might take some of the pressure off...

I have 4 cats inside and they all love those ball things. I have two of them upstairs. Often they play together sometimes batting it back and forth to each other. They LOVE them more than anything. I bought one made by Jackson Galaxy that they can sit or scratch inside and play from inside and out and that is the favorite. I have one cat that would lose his ever loving mind with the one in this video. It gets a little noisy but better than having to type this response with one laying on my hands like now. Gotta love those kitties!
