A thirty-eight inch ring, so the run has no end to stop at

The other tunnels in this range are lines — you go in one end and come out the other, and the game stops when the cat arrives. This one is a closed circle thirty-eight inches across, which removes the stopping point: a cat chasing something inside a ring can keep going, and the animal decides when the game is over rather than the geometry. It is the cheapest piece of play gear on this shelf and the hardest to explain until you have watched a kitten use one.
What it is for
Peek holes are cut through the wall at intervals, which is where most of the play actually happens — a paw comes out, something goes back in. A ball hangs inside, and a teaser wand is in the box, so the ring works both as a toy a cat uses alone and as one you join in with. It collapses flat the way the other tunnels do, and the circular shape is the awkward part of that: a thirty-eight inch hoop folds down small but needs a flat place to live rather than a shelf. Two colourways, blue and purple, and the size fits kittens, adult cats and rabbits.
Best for: kittens, young cats and anyone whose animal loses interest in a straight tunnel after a week. Good in a small flat, where a ring claims less floor than a long tube.
What the maker claims
Feature points as Love’s cabin publishes them on the listing. Points that name the retailer are dropped and an all-capital lead-in is cut where there is one; the wording is otherwise theirs, not ours.
This listing carries no feature text at all — the specification below is everything the manufacturer publishes about it, and the paragraph on the left is ours.
The sizes it is cut in

What the score is measuring
Forty-one ratings at 4.7 is the strongest early sample among the newer products here, and on cat toys that number usually measures one thing: whether the cat engaged at all. It cannot tell you about the weeks after the novelty, and the honest caution with any fabric tunnel is that an enthusiastic cat eventually finds the seams.
The score and the count are the retailer’s public totals as of our last catalogue check and both move; the shelf position is counted from the 6 products we carry in Playpens & Play, not from the retailer’s ranking.
Common questions
Is the teaser wand included?
Yes, in the box, along with the ball that hangs inside the ring. The wand is a light fishing-rod type, which is the design cats respond to rather than the stick-and-feather sort.
How is this different from the three-way tunnel?
Shape, and therefore the game. The three-way is an ambush junction with three entrances; the ring is a circuit with no exit to break the chase. If you only buy one, the three-way suits a cat that stalks and this one a cat that runs.
Does it fold away?
It collapses flat like the rest, but it collapses into a disc rather than a tube, so it stores behind furniture more easily than it stores on a shelf.
