If you are having trouble keeping your pets toys from finding their way under all kinds of furniture, then purchase this "Crazy Circle" cat toy for your four legged feline friends. You can find this at most any place that sells cat and dog toys, we found ours at Pet-Co on clearance sale for only $7.99.

Description
This toy is only 10" wide and 3" from the top to the bottom and 1/16" thick, and only weighs 6.6 ounces. All of the toys are each a different color, but this particular one is a nice sky blue in color. The nice thing about this toy is that they does not requires any batteries to operate, only an active imagination by your cats. This toy did not come in any cellophane or box to speak of, just a cardboard wrapper. So, this means that you will have only a little bit of trash when you open this up for use. I also thought that dogs would chew this toy up before the cats could play with it, but they are not even the least little bit interested in this toy.

This is made of a very durable plastic and is connected by a 3" hole with tabs in the center. This also has three curved slots in the top measuring 1" x 5" in area. The two halves are separated by a ¾" slot, that is wide enough to let your cat stick its paw inside and swat at the 1-3/4" yellow plastic ball. This ball sits in a concave groove that when swatted will travel with ease all the way around the toy. This toy does not come apart even when it is tossed around by your real kids.

Experience
We have used these for several years and it has always done an excellent job entertaining our cats. This has given our so called children (Pets)several hours of enjoyment and excitement when they are finally finished they left them exhausted after playing with them. While they were playing, they would come racing and attack the toy to get at the yellow ball inside. Once they were done playing with this and catch their breath, they would go back and start all over again, right back to the spot where they were playing with this, running in circles and swatting at the ball inside.

Because this toy is so light, your pet can easily toss it into the air and flip it over. This may be a little confusing, but our so called children (Pets) being so small, really did not understand that they are supposed to not flip it over to play with it. They enjoyed this immensely, they were just happy that they were able to make us smile, these toys will never fall apart and get your pets in danger of choking. Our pets are older but still play like little children, they have enjoyed hours of fun with this toy. We do have older cats, that can get a little bored with this toy, but they continue to still play with it just because it does it occupies their time when they get bored.

I have found the older that your child (our Pets) will get bored easily and they will soon stop playing earlier than the younger pets do. The amusement of this toy will only last for a little while with the older ones, but our younger pets will play for hours, maybe just a few years will go by before they settle down. But, that is only a wish, sometimes they can drive us nuts because they keep running at these toys and wanting us to watch them. Unless your pet has a learning disability or is really old, then this toy will come in handy for quite a few years to come.

Conclusion
As long as you do not expect this toy to last forever, when teaching your pets not to chew up other items in the house, this will be enough to keep them busy. This is excellent for starting off and then who knows this may lead to more controlled pets.
