Pet amusement device with ball track and catnip receptacle

Abstract

A pet amusement device comprising: a receptacle for catnip; a continuous track surrounding the catnip receptacle; a toy, such as a ball, contained within the continuous track such that the toy may travel along the continuous track; and at least one opening along the continuous track such that the continuous track and the toy are accessible through the at least one opening. The catnip receptacle may have a cap allowing a user to easily add catnip to the receptacle and allowing the scent of the catnip to exit the receptacle. In use, a pet, such as a cat, may smell the catnip and bat the ball around the continuous track. The pet amusement device may be combined with another device with a larger continuous track to produce a device with two concentric tiered tracks in addition to the catnip receptacle.
