ABSTRACT:
An outer housing preferably fabricated from a transparent or translucent plastic material, the outer housing including a central connecting portion and three outwardly extending arms. Slots are provided in the top and the sides of the three outwardly extending arms to permit a household pet, such as a cat, to reach and move one or more balls positioned therein towards the central connecting portion. The bottom surface of the central connecting portion preferably includes an upwardly extending projection, preferably conical in configuration, which, by gravitational force, tends to toll the one or more balls positioned therein into one of the three outwardly extending arms.
