This was a hit - for about a day. I saw this at the store and thought my cats might enjoy it. And they did - for about a day. They quickly got over the novelty and just got bored with it and abandoned it. My cats had fun trying to get the ball out of the ring but when they discovered that it was never going to actually come out they gave up and wandered away - never to return. I ended up giving this to a friend who has kittens who really enjoyed it. I'm sure this would be fun for many cats, but mine just were not into it. The product itself is sturdy and well made and there's no fear it will crack or break if they climb all over it and sit on the top to hit the ball around the circle. I purchased the larger model so there was plenty of sitting room on top. And, later, plenty of room to just lay on top and sleep after they got bored. I definitely recommend this for those with kittens who adore the toy. Older cats may not appreciate it as much.

Our kittens weren't impressed by this when we got it for them, but our dachshunds loved it. One of them would play with it all day if you'd let her! She's received them as gifts for her birthday and Christmas, and she loves them every time. She prefers the smaller version of the Crazy Circle, but we can't really find that sized version anymore.

My cat absolutely loves the petmate cat track cat toy crazy circle! I like that it is interactive, and it is also very durable. My kitty Ezzy is three years old and she has had this for a year now. It is still in great shape! It is so enticing that she keeps coming back for more and more! I know some people have said that their older cats get bored with it, but not mine! she just loves it! I also think it is great that it gives her something to do when i am not home. She is my only pet and i used to feel bad leaving her home alone. This toy has helped a lot because i know it is something to keep her busy while i can not be there. It is also fairly priced, and it has been worth the money so far. I am going to buy one for my moms cats because they get bored so easily and i think they will really like it. Overall, this is a great durable toy for any active kitty and pet lover! You can not go wrong with this one!

The Petmate Crazy Circle Toy will drive your cat nuts. This toy is durable, well made and will be a toy that your cat(s) will have for years. I must say that I have two cats and only one of them enjoys playing with this toy. This toy will provide endless hours of fun if you have a cat that is playful and actually enjoys playing with cat toys, in particular ball toys. If you have a cat who loves hitting balls and is extremely playful then it willl probably love this toy. The idea of this toy is that your cat will use their paw to hit the ball that is trapped inside this circle. The ball will keep going in circles, and while the cat thinks they will get the ball out, it will never come out. I love toys like this for my cats because they are all composed of hard plastic and can easily be cleaned and sanitized if need be. One of my cats absolutely loves it and it provides endless hours of fun for her as she tries, but never succeeds in getting that ball.

We have 3 cats of different ages now, and have had many cats over the years.  We bought the Cat Track in the small size for one of our current cats when she was a kitten.  "Skye" spent HOURS trying to figure out how to get the ball out-- swatting, batting, even flipping the toy over and trying to shake the ball out!  She eventually outgrew the small size, so we put it away and replaced it with a larger one.  The fun started over again!  Soon our older adults got in on the game, and the three of them would work together trying to get that confounded ball out! The two older cats have since crossed the "Rainbow Bridge". and we acquired a Siamese.  He discovered the toy when he was bout a year old, and he. too, absolutely loves it!  He even sleeps in the middle of the large one sometimes-- much to the chagrin of "Skye", the original owner.  The small one even still gets some action from time to time, but the big one is a definite favorite among our adults. Most importantly, though, this toy is very safe and durable-- we've had both of ours for at least 6 years and they've held up extremely well, even after being stepped on a time or two by a human foot. I replaced the original ball with one that has a rattle inside for a little variety, and that made the toy even more attractive.  I highly recommend this toy for cats of all ages, from playful kitten to sedate senior.  The small size is excellent for kittens and small adults, while the large size is great for average to larger adults. Many paws up... this toy is a hit!

I bought this toy for my cat after watching a friend's cat play with hers.  My cat instantly thought this toy was so much fun.  It kept her occupied for a long time!  And it was pretty entertaining for me to watch her try to figure out how to get the ball out of the circle! My cat loved it so much I bought one in a smaller size for her.  She didn't seem to like the smaller one as much.  She likes to sit in the middle of the big one, and she won't fit in the middle of the smaller one. After many months though my cat has lost all interest in this toy.  I'm not sure why.  She is a cat after all, and cats are finicky!  I think I'll put both of them away and reintroduce them later. This is a great, inexpensive toy for any cat!

Want to give your cat (and possibly your dog) years of fun from a toy that they never seem to tire of? Try the The Cat Track Cat Toy "Crazy Circle" by Petmate! The toy consists of a lightweight ball "trapped" inside an enticing, sturdy circular track. Curious cats can see the ball from every angle, but just can't seem to "fish" it out. Mine reach for and bat at the ball, lie inside the circle guarding their toy possessively, and just generally have a good time! I have owned the large one for many years and all of my cats and even my dog have had hours and hours of fun with it! Yes, I said "dog". One of my cats and my dog frequently played a game of "furry ping pong" batting the ball back and forth in the enclosed track. What a hoot to watch! I've bought a lot of toys for my pets over the years, but never one that has lasted so long and brought so much joy into their lives!
