There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Having seen them chase balls around with enthusiasm I ordered the play circuit. I assembled it into a squiggly line and sent the ball rolling. At first my cats didn't seem to know what to make of it except poke or stare at it. After a couple of hours it looked like it was a bust since neither one really payed attention to it. Since there is a very slight incline on each of the end pieces that keeps the ball moving I pushed it a few times just to amuse myself. :-$.
While adjusting one of the top covers to make sure that it would not come off my kitten started batting the ball and after 15 mins. she was fully into it! She can spend a good amount of time poking and chasing the ball. The cutest part is when it looks like she is done but instead she will walk away a little and then watch as the ball slowly moves down the track. When it looks like it is about to come to a full stop she will suddenly rush up and pounce on it, starting her fun all over again. There are times when I have had to remove the ball at night since I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and she will start whacking the ball at odd hours of the night. It makes very little noise but at 3 AM is sounds like a billiard ball going down the track to me. My older cat did not seem to care for this at all. He will look at it, look at the kitten playing and then walk away shortly afterwards. Seems like I need to get him a different kind of toy which Hagen may just have.
For $10 shipped I plan on getting another circuit to extend this one. The variable configurations make it quite future proof, that is, if your cat gets bored with the current setup then it is quite easy to reconfigure. Over time I may even consider getting the entire setup.
Build quality appears to be quite durable and it will last a long time. I have stepped on it a few times by accident, barefoot and with shoes, and it has not even cracked. Mind you that I quickly took my foot off as soon as I realized it. Not sure it can handle a full on stomp. I am 5'8" and 200 lbs. if that helps put things into perspective. A note on assembly, make sure that you insert the top blue pieces in firmly and then slide them in. I did not do it right on a few parts the first time and my kitten kept popping them off and trying to get the ball out of the circuit.
Overall an excellent and quality pet toy!
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.
One day I seen this toy, bought it. When it arrived, you would not believe how many cats gathered around to check it out while I was putting it together. I think this is one of the best toys that has ever been invented for cats. The cost was about $12. A little more expensive than some of the cat toys out there. It's worth every penny spent on it. Even the really shy feral cats sneak play with it when they think we aren't around. Cats can play it by themselves, they pair up with another cat(s), kittens love it, even the adult cats play with it.
If I think this is the best cat toy ever, bet you're wondering why I am only giving it four stars.
The reason why,
This one is great. It only lasted about a year. The tabs kept breaking off.
Another web site has a similar one. It is much better constructed. Its been over two years and we still have it. None of the tabs have broken off on. There is more of a variety of track shape pieces... such as... up hill, down hill, curved rights, straight pieces.
