Cat toys are hit or miss, but every few years there's another hit. The last one was Allstar's Pop N Play, which was No. 38 on the 2019 True Top 50.

This campaign made the Top 40 back in July (Week 28), but it appears I never posted about it.

The product follows in the tradition of long-form hits such as Rhonda Shear's Ahh Bra (2011) and Tristar's Genie Bra. The latter was on the short-form charts from 2011-2013 and was developed into a huge line of other bra products.
