Patent ID: 7661394

Claim:
A cat track system comprising a plurality of tubular track sections having top and bottom portions and sized to receive a ball-like object that may roll through the tubular sections, connectors formed on the ends of the plurality of tubular track sections enabling the several sections to be interchangeably joined end-to-end with one another for forming different track configurations having an elongated ball track, spaced apart elongated openings in the top portions of the plurality of track sections providing access for a cat to the interior of the plurality of tubular track sections for advancing a ball disposed in the track configuration, said openings being sized to prevent a ball disposed in the assembled track sections from escaping from the track wherein the top portion of each track section is shorter in length than the bottom portion exposing the ends of each portion and so as to define with the top portion of the adjacent track system an opening enabling a cat to engage a ball and push it along in the track, and a plurality of end caps detachably connectable to the ends of any selected track configuration made up of one or more sections, each said cap has an opening small enough to retain a ball in the track and large enough to enable a cat to reach a ball in the end cover.
