Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R30KZYF41W3QMA I foster kittens with a Humane Society, along with having some cats of my own. This is beyond any doubt the best toy that I have ever purchased. I will be buying more since they queue to use it!! Affectionately known as "The Green Donut" in our family - here's one of my little foster boys learning the skills of hunting ...

Whiskers loves this toy! He is an old kitty, but this toy keeps him moving like a youngster. Highly recommend it to any cat owner. Worth every penny.

I just received the turbo track a few days ago. I put it together (in the figure 8 configuration) and within minutes my kitten was going crazy with it. She must have played with it for an hour straight. After she rested a few minutes, she was at it again. My older cat had to show her how to push the ball up and over the little incline. It was pretty cute. Glad I got it and would definitely recommend it.

I recently moved from a 2 storey 2500 sq ft house into an 850 sq ft apartment and have been breaking the bank to find daytime entertainment for my 2 indoor cats. I bought this toy over the other circular track toys like Starchaser since it looked like more fun for kitties and because you can add sections to it. While not as slick in appearance as other tunnel/tracks like the Cat-It Play Circuit, it is very attractive at a lower price point.
My 2 year old girl kitty will play with it for 20-30 minutes at a time without prompting. With some spray catnip applied to the ball, it's a non-stop laugh fest until she passes out on top of it. My older male is mildly interested. He will watch the little one play with it and I think he might join in if it were just a little bigger. As packaged, the track setup is small enough that one kitty can easily monopolize the toy.
I have tried all of the track layouts shown on the package with the exception of the "scribble" since that design has open ends and I don't really enjoy retrieving balls from under the stove. The best layout seems to be the figure eight. Kitty loves to push the ball over the bridge with her paw and then "ambush" it as it rolls through the tunnel. With more track sections, it would be even greater fun for her (and for me to put together!)
Positives: Reconfigurable track sections keep the toy interesting for both humans and kitties. The ball stays put in the track even after a concerted effort by kitty to pull it out with her paws (fun to watch!) but is easy to "pop out" if you want to change balls or spray some catnip on it. The plastic tracks seem to be of decent quality and do not smell bad. The toy is an appealing "Kermit the Frog" green color (I'm not sure where the other reviewer got "pea soup" green from.)The package says "Made in the USA" and the Bergan company is small and seems to have a corporate philosophy that is in the right place, both of which are important to this reviewer.
Downsides: the connectors that join the track sections are tricky to align. Putting them together requires a strange twisting push-pull motion that puts quite a bit of stress on them, especially if you have to do it a few times to "get it right." I fully expect them to snap off at some point and will have duct tape at the ready since kitty really likes this toy.
Overall, I fully recommend this product. I knocked off one star for the delicate nature of the connectors but regardless, will very likely buy some additional accessories.
