Senses Super Circuit

Well the jury's still out on the both cats' approval, but for the few minutes one of them played with it, he really liked it! Also, the most exciting thing for me was that his fat paws fit in the holes, even when he jammed them in there quickly. The cat in my picture is the one who did the paw test. And as he is showing, it's great to lounge on after play time ends haha Also, per another reviewers suggestion, I bought some ping pong balls to use in it instead of the original ball. These things fit perfect and move so easily through the tube tracks, they can also be squished in the openings so you don't have to detach anything to insert them. Also, I have some other ball toys that have the bell inside, or little rattle balls, these fit just as easily. The reasoning behind the alternative balls is because I wanted to be sure the cats could move the balls easily with their fat paws. I knew they might not be able to create as much momentum if their paws had trouble accessing the tracks. Even though their paws fit, I'm still glad I bought them, because they go really far, even if they're just brushed on one of the outside tube holes. This is a quality product, and fits together easily. No assembly instructions are included, but it's totally manageable. If you can use Legos, you can put this together. If you can't figure out Legos, you shouldn't own a cat. The tracks are sturdy enough to be taken apart a few times, because I needed to do this while setting it up for the shape I wanted, and mine was used, and it still locked together tightly. I would recommend laying out the pieces in the shape you want first, then assembling it. I was so darn excited I just started throwing pieces together and had to re-do some sections a couple times. I would definitely buy this again, it's awesome, and at this point, I think I'm more impressed with it than the cats lol!

I’ve had this produce for all of about 2hrs but already can write a raving positive review. Please see photos for context plus an adorable, pleased kitten. (1) The product is as described, with all pieces, and came in an adorable box with a cutout suggestion for turning it into a toy itself. (2) The product has high quality pieces that feel sturdy and able to take both regular batterings as well as occasional cleaning. (3) The green top pieces are removable for cleaning. (4) The end-cap piece slope was a smart design choice for encouraging play. (5) Comes with enough pieces to make a “track circuit” as well as a “circle circuit”. (6) The “circle circuit” perfectly fits a replacement corrugated cardboard piece meant for my non-Senses Catit product. (7) The circle circuit also fits at the base of my Catit Vesper cat tree perfectly. (8) The ball that comes with this is bigger than the light-up balls and is a perfect fit for the non-Senses piece I mentioned before (shown in a photo with the ball from this + the one it came with). I put the ball in that toy for my older cat, because the light-up balls are instant kitten magnets. (9) The light-up balls fit perfectly and are great. The cheaper green ones (2pk) and more expensive red one (single) mix well because both light up red. I used my extra green one to extend a cat tree toy. If you have a kitten or really playful/observant cat you’d be fine with just the green ones for the track probably. (10) I was worried about the raised curve pieces being problematic and a waste of money... but they are great and add to the product undoubtedly! In short, this product is worth the money. If you are considering it for a young kitten or a cat you know likes to play with moving balls, I highly recommend it. Unfortunately, I did not receive a discounted product in exchange for this review. I paid full price for all of my Catit products, and independently chose to write this review.

3.6 stars for how it comes. See below for how to make it 4-5 stars!! Two of my four cats will play with this. The third is not interested at all. The fourth is very interested but can't fit his paws into the holes in the covers to move the ball around the track. I have four American domestic short hair cats. Two are part Siamese and are movers and two that are stationary players and much harder to get moving. I have the original catit play circuit (no raised hills) and the speed circuit. (Had raised hills) (both from the blue "previous generation") There are very few differences between the two that I have noticed. The track is longer than the previous offerings. (If only buying one set) However, there are many improvements that I wish were already fixed with this "2.0 model". I will list some pros and cons to possibly help guide your purchase. Pros: -The green covers lock into place (by sliding ahead) There is an illustration showing which way to slide on the covers on the covers themselves. -Toy should interest cats who like stationary play and who already like similar ball on track toys like the Bergan Turbo Track or Chaser or the Petstages catnip chase toy. -The toy is part of the 2.0 line and will be a very nice border for possible play at the outside of the other 2.0 items if you have purchased or are interested in those. -Stationary ball track toys are very good toys to get cats who are stationary players or that may be overweight moving, because they sit and play with the toy but then when the ball goes out of reach they may be motivated to move to keep it in motion. The toy can also occupy your cats when you are unable to play with them. -The box is very pretty and has instructions on it for creating a treat puzzle box with a little cutting and bending. Cons: - The toy didn't come with any instructions or layout samples to help put the toy together. The only "instructions" are hard to understand pictures in a small corner of the box. -The holes in the green covers and in between the covers that are supposed to send the ball around the track with a paw swipe may be too small for your cat's paw to fit in especially if you have large males or large breed cats. The manufacturer should have two size options on the covers for small and large cats. - The hills on the super circuit and wave circuits are a little steep (especially for such a heavy ball) for the average cat to get the ball going on. The ball will crest the hill but then roll back down most times and your cat may walk away frustrated. -The ball is heavy and requires a lot of force to get moving around the track. -The pieces slide together and if not completely aligned there will be a ridge in between the pieces that the ball can get stuck on. I might try replacing the ball that it comes with with a more lightweight ball such as a ping pong ball to see if my cats can get it to move a little more and therefore be more interested and less frustrated. I would still recommend this toy if you have multiple cats or a cat who likes to "sit and play" with similar toys but probably the regular play circuit and not the one with the hills unless some improvements are made. UPDATE: 5 stars if you add two ping pong balls to the track instead of the ball it comes with! All 4 of my cats now play with it and for a long time! The ping pong balls are a lot more lightweight and easier for the cats to get over the hills and will even go around the track with a "halfway hit" if you have the problem of your cat not being able to get their paws in the openings. Also be sure all the pieces are aligned by pushing down on the edges of the white track in the openings between the covers. Also be sure you locked your covers or they'll come off.

Update: a ping pong ball works. They can still get it out but not quite as easily. Kitties enjoy the toy. Would be a 5 star rating if balls stayed in or if it came with several replacement balls. The space between the track parts is big enough for the cats to remove the ball. The ball had small holes the cats could snag with their claws. The ball was lost within two days. The cats were interested and playing. Hopefully I can find the ball or a substitute that will be harder to remove.

I AM going to review this product, the "Catit Senses 2.0 Super Circuit", but first, I must indulge my preachy side. To wit: If, like me, you're a relative newbie to cats, there are several things you need to know! I'm not going to tell you ALL of those things, because you need to find out for yourselves! (Heh, heh, yuk, yuk) But, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING is this: Don't be a typically selfish human! Your cat won't be happy, and you'll hate yourself in the morning! Sure, you may be congratulating yourself on adopting a sweet little homeless kitty and granting yourself Platinum status in the Realm of Good Humans, but unless you're willing to put in the many hours needed to truly, deeply interact and connect with Mr/Ms Cat, you will end up on the Trash Heap of Humans! Not Good! No matter what toy you buy, NOTHING will be as satisfying to your cat - and ultimately to YOU - than YOUR involvement! So. That said... this toy by Catit is very useful for your cat, and it's very well-built. It's rather over-engineered, in fact. But that means it'll last a long time. If you can't put it together and take it apart and put it back together again in 5 minutes, then you shouldn't be allowed to drive a car, use the internet, or be allowed anywhere NEAR forks and knives. If you CAN assemble it, Mr/Ms Cat will likely be FASCINATED for a short time... but will come back to it tomorrow or the next day, and keep you awake while you're trying to take a nap! THAT'S A GOOD THING! It means the toy has engaged kitty's sense of curiosity and predation! (Look it up.) Cats are predators, in terms of wanting to eat, AND in terms of wanting to find, stalk, and attack something! This toy will likely help them do that. Not 24/7 maybe, but enough to warrant your purchase. PRO TIP: Buy two other products from Amazon at the same time: "Champion Sports Colored Lacrosse Balls" (2 for 7.99) and "Meizhouer Ping Pong Balls" (12 for 5.99). Think of the "Catit Senses 2.0 Super Circuit" as the toy you hope Mr/Ms Cat will play with while you're away, and think of the Lacrosse and Ping Pong balls as the devices YOU will used to interact with kitty! They roll, they bounce, they make interesting noises... and when you're not around, the ball in the Super Circuit becomes a temporary replacement for you. Listen up, people, I wouldn't have a spleen's chance of engaging my kitty (a handsome and truly good fellow named Beau) if it weren't for a collection of "cat engagement aids." Multiple toys, a variety of foods, a wire brush, a kitty water fountain, nail clippers, a repertoire of funny sounds, sweet words and subtle movements... ALL are part of being a responsible human companion to cats. If all this seems too much for you, don't get a cat. In fact, don't get any sort of living creature. Just watch TikTok videos and stay out of the way. The Man With The Spleen

😻My cats absolutely love this toy😻 Elvira and Midnight played with it until they were exhausted. See the picture of little Midnight sleeping on the racetrack LOL. I also included a video clip. I wish I started recording before the two kittens wore themselves out. There are many different ways to put this together so you can truly customize it for your cat's desires or just to mix things up a little bit. It also comes with two end track ball stoppers in case you want to form a long line of kitty cat racetrack excitement! 😺Here's what you get in the box 12 track pieces (white bottom piece and a green top piece) The breakdown of each track piece 🖤Two of the tracks are end stoppers 🖤Two of the tracks are Hill pieces to help the ball gain speed kind of like a roller coaster 🖤Two tracks are staight 🖤Six are curved track with no hill 🧡 One orange ball The kitty cats can take the ball out but it's very easy to put back in. If you lose the ball it can be easily replaced with a traditional hard plastic cat ball toy or even a ping pong ball. Not only would I buy this toy again but I also plan on buying one for my brother and sisters cats! We love it

Sadly, this did not work out for my kitties. The construction is good and the way it fits together is nice and it stays secure. In that aspect it is a good product, I liked the quality of it. The problem lies in the design for the fact that the track is nearly 80% covered and my cats get frustrated that they can't get to the ball. I removed many of the green covers so they could actually touch/push/paw at it, but then the ball falls right out of the track. The holes in the covers either need to be much larger or the covers themselves need to be much shorter in length to allow larger spaces between the covers. I'm not sure how a full-grown cat with large paws would be able to play with this (thinking Maine Coon or Ragdoll). My cats are 6-month-old kittens, so they don't have large paws, but they got frustrated very quickly because the really couldn't access the ball. I even tried the separate "Fireball" that CatIt makes that flashes. They really liked that, but again, couldn't get to the ball so they just walked away and played with their Bergan Catnip Hurricane Cat Toy instead. That one is much more open and they can get to the ball from any position/direction, and the balls do not fall out of the track. I would consider this product again if they did a major redesign on the covers to allow better access to the ball or made a version that was more open with a tapered track to prevent the ball from just falling off the track.

My one-year-old kitty is obsessed with this toy! It kept him entertained for a solid 30 minutes before he finally crashed for a nap. I definitely recommend it! It's super easy to snap together and take apart, so you can make all sorts of tracks—a circle or a long line, thanks to the edge pieces. Seriously keeps my kitty busy and happy. The ball that comes with it is a bit noisy on the track, but it's simple to swap in a quieter one if you need to. (We sometimes use a pink ball at night to keep things a little quieter but still fun—though it's not included with the toy.) Honestly, it's not a big deal at all, and my kitty loves it no matter which ball we use! :)
