Highlighted Reviews

β€” Ruth

"Our kitties are 10 months old and love the whole Circuit toy, its the only toy they started playing with as babies and still play with. (except there little mice)"

β€” Kim

"I returned this as it does not flash long enough for my cat's entertainment. A few blinks and then poof it's out. The cats seem confused. The ball is a good size and quite heavy so smaller kittens have trouble pushing it in the track."

Bottom Line

This is a good interactive toy for cats. It’s bright, engaging, but potentially irritating and too short for some. It may be best used in combination with other toys to keep your pet entertained.
