ABSTRACT:
An annular ball track is provided with a flat top surface having a material affixed thereon for the purpose of claw scratching. A hollow ball containing an electronic sound synthesizer within is disposed inside the annular track and visible around the periphery of the track. A switch operates the electronic sound synthesizer within the ball and broadcasts mouse related scratching sounds and/or squeaks, thereby serving as an irresistible attractant to an animal for promoting more frequent exercise by swatting and chasing the ball, and to encourage the claw scratching needs inherent to animals, thereby saving articles of furniture from claw damage.
