Fat Cat are middle of the road tables in terms of their quality and can typically be found online or in department stores. You wouldn't find a Fat Cat table at a professional foosball tournament but they make great quality foosball parts. These tables are manufactured and marketed towards families and kids who are looking to seek enjoyment out of the game of foosball rather than perfect it as a professional sport.

Fat Cat/Great Lake Darts Company History
Founded in south Milwaukee in 1981, Great Lakes Dart Manufacturing has grown to become a premier name in darts, gaming tables, and billiards. Five friends that were bar owners attempted to drive more traffic into their bar. Seeing the hottest trends in bar games being darts, they decided to create dart leagues to draw in consistent customers. Soon there were dartboards in every local establishment around the area and players were forming dart leagues of their own. Leagues become very popular, local owners needed to restock their dart supplies.
After a $100 investment they formed English Dart South, they got their first inventory. As time continued darts become even more popular across the US and they quickly outgrew their original home and finally set up where they remain today in Muskego. They currently have a 60,000 ft² warehouse.
Their continued success comes from innovation such as investing in the idea of soft tip darts for use with electronic dartboards. Though many darters were content to continue enjoying their favorite game the way they always had, with steel points and bristle boards, casual fans of darts leapt at the idea of a faster, modern and more convenient way to play. This allowed them to invest in other gaming ventures like billiards, foosball and air hockey where they are today.
