TL;DR: Keep your cat's mind sharp with the Cheerble board game, on sale as of March 25 for $47.99 — a 38% savings.


You may have heard of the Cheerble interactive cat toy that keeps your cat stimulated and curious, but this "board game" takes things to a whole other level.

The Cheerble board game pairs with the Cheerble ball, which is included. It also has a built-in scratcher system and a play board. As the Cheerble interactive ball lights up and bounces around, it rolls underneath the circular cutouts on the game board. Ideally, your cat will reach into the holes to attempt to capture its Cheerble prey.

This toy is designed to keep your cat active, fit, and engaged all day — even when you're not there. You don't even have to control the ball from your phone or with an app. Once your cat moves it, it automatically lights up and starts darting around on its own. 

Depending on how active your cat is, you can set the Cheerble ball in one of three different modes: normal, gentle, or active. Then, just place the ball in the board game scratcher and wait for your cat to start playing.

Here's a quick peek:

Don't worry about the Cheerble ball getting lost or stuck in a corner when you're not home to retrieve it. The ball's automatic obstacle avoidance system prevents the ball from getting stuck in the holes of the Playboard or in tight corners.

Normally, this cat entertainment system retails for $78, but for a limited time, you can get the board game scratcher plus the Cheerble interactive ball toy for just $47.99.
