Pria and LP are batting the ball back and forth as I type.
The only one who actually scratches on it is Cleo though.

Same here. Grim went crazy for it the first day and then ignored the ball since then.

Move it to different locations now and then, which is especially popular if you can hide part of the track under say a couch that way the ball disappears and they have to reach under to get at it, and if not just throw a blanket on it.

My two still play with theirs, but you have to mix it up so it doesn't just blend with the background.


You can also place other things in the middle, kinda like in this vid even though its a slightly different product: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Gtoj...eature=related

That's so cool that a bunch of them were all playing with it together!! We've got one with a light-up ball, and I actually won the Turbo Track in a random drawing because I did their product survey online after buying the Scratcher. No one plays with either too often, but Dorothy scratches the Turbo Scratcher thing a lot. They actually prefer chasing after and batting the balls around the room than playing with them in the tracks.

Ugh! Simba is the same way! He won't even scratch the middle. I'm considering giving it away... but he sits on it sometimes so I would be giving away a piece of his "furniture" and he might not like that...


He won't even play with the Starchaser light-up ball (whether it's inside or out of the track!)
(I bought it as an extra thing because I thought it would be more fun for him...)

It's so cute to see all of them sharing and playing nicely together!

hahahah cute! Kis has a few also (not the turbo scratcher but he has the tubo track!). He doesn't play with them much now but he used to spend HOURS with it.

When we first got our Turbo, everybody enjoyed it. But as they got older, they stopped playing with it. Sometimes, BooBoo would swat at the ball as he walked by....almost like "Oh it's there, might as well give it a push".

When Mollipop first came home to live with us, she loved the Turbo and I think she'd still play with it, if she could. But now Tabby is here and she likes it, too. Although Tabby seems to like the Turbo thingy with the mouse in it instead of a ball. She loves to try to catch that mouse. So Mollipop is able to play with the regular Turbo again. We have three of them so one is usually available for playtime.
