Most cats go out of their way to avoid a pool, but those very same felines are diving right into miniature pool tables. The compact toys have been fueling viral cat content across the internet with celebrity feline fans like Kate Beckinsale getting in on the cat action.
The rules for cat pool are as follows:
- Humans can never win
- Cats can use any of their limbs to play
- A scratch is not a foul
- Napping on the table is encouraged
- Chaos reigns
Stripes, solids, and every other fur color combination is welcome to cue up and take a shot with these fun-sized sets. Here’s how to introduce your whiskered companion to the exciting game of billiards.
Vetreska Cat Billiards Toy
Colorful balls are made of felt
Two wooden cue sticks included
Each cue has feathers tied to the end play
Natural sisal rope on legs for scratching
Tabletop is large enough for catnaps
Camera roll will quickly fill up with adorable cat content
This small elevated table is a great size for perching, its legs are tightly wrapped in natural sisal rope, and the tabletop is covered with felt. The Vetreska Cat Billiards Toy was designed with a cat’s instincts and interests in mind. From the colorful felt balls to the wooden cue sticks with feathers at the end, this miniature version of a pool table has a variety of features and surfaces to entice your cat to play.
This cat toy has a near-perfect rating on Amazon with reviewers raving about how much their cats love to paw at the pool table. The less-than-stellar reviews are attributed to the plain cardboard packaging the petite toy arrived in (we are pretty sure your cat loved the cardboard box) and from cats destroying the sisal-roped legs more quickly than anticipated.

unbrand Mini Billiards Table Toy
Small and portable
Balls, rack, and two cue sticks included
Designed for human children and not for cats that behave like human children
Too small for napping cats
The Mini Billiards Table Toy weighs less than a pound and the longest side is twelve inches long, so it’s easy to move and store. Your cat will enjoy playing with the small plastic balls, but this tiny table doesn’t have enticing fabric or rope for them to sink their claws into. It’s also suitable for use by human children, but we think that depends on how your cat feels about sharing.
