Catit Treat Ball, Blue

This thing will keep your cats entertained longer than the average treat dispenser. The spiral inside helps make it harder for them to get all the treats out leading to a linger time in play than other treat dispensers. Fairly easy to use, though it doesn’t come apart like others to fill, has a large hole to funnel treats in that works surprisingly well well, multiple hole sizes to choose from. The plastic is smooth and strong enough to withstand a cat. Noise levels are fairly low, even with a decent amount of treats inside, pretty great value all around.

We got one of these last Christmas and not one of our two cats could figure it out. We just didn’t bother to send it back. Then, in March came … The Determinator. The Determinator didn’t have to be taught to use it, (just as he didn’t have to be taught to walk on top of the shower door, open the closets or move my socks from one room to the other) he just went for it. That was the blue one, it wasn’t long before that one rolled off the counter and broke (we were able to glue it together again) and we the bought the more expensive pink one because the blue was out of stock. The color is for sure not worth the extra money if you are just deciding on which to buy, but we needed another and we needed it NOW! (Before we figured out how to glue the other.) Good thing, though, now that we have two, we can fill one for him while the other is missing…under a couch, behind a dresser…. Of course, at first one of the other cats felt a bit left out not being able to figure it out, but he did figure out that when the Determinator is on a roll … literally … all he has to do is stand by and run over to steal the food as it comes out while he who did all the work is busy with his little pile. All that said, I’m guessing kittens have an easier time learning this than adults, but I won’t spread that conspiracy theory as it is just one I made up (not that that makes much of a difference these days, hee hee). But these are absolutely wonderful for those kids who can pick it up. It keeps them occupied and works out some energy. Whether your cat will be one of those kids is anyone’s guess. Of course, I guess that is what Prime was made for, isn’t it. :) Recommend. :)

I have been making treat containers for my furry kids for years. It's simple really. I just take a plastic container and cut different size holes in them. When we first started, I cut out an empty (washed) peanut butter plastic jar and cut quite a few larger holes in it, so they would get the idea. They get new "puzzles" that have less holes and different shaped plastic containers. But this particular toy is a bit more intriguing and different from anything I have made for them, which is what I was looking for. The Treat Ball is human friendly to use. I like the option of different sized holes. One hole is small, one is big. The bigger one can be adjusted for different size treats or kibble. Some treats will get stuck and I have to shake the ball to get them loose. Sometimes more than one treat will come out. While in other efforts, some swipes will get the kitties nothing. It's all part of the game. This ball can't be opened to clean. But I am only putting treats in there, and when it is not in use I close it up. I might add that is it sturdy and can take a beating. I have one cat that will do almost anything to get tasty tidbits. This is Lulu, the cat that will do the work. The other (2) cats will sit and watch, then scarf up some treats that she has left behind. So it's not really a fair game. Lulu still ends up with the majority of the treats. But hey, she's doing all the work, right? I would recommend this treat dispenser. Be patient. It might take them a few days or longer to get the hang of it if your feline companion has never had to work for his/her food before. Put some delicious smelly treats in it. These puzzles not only keep a cat from eating too fast, but it also provides physical entertainment and keeps them intellectually stimulated. Which in turn, will make your cat live a longer life.

I’ve got my cat another toy, yay. It’s a ball treat device. We have a midsize hole in here where we can put the treats. It's a bit tricky to work around the hole, i wasn’t able to figure out how to open the ball. Unfortunately for my car not even catnip can help me. He couldn't care less. However, objectively I think the toy is cool and probably will be a lot of fun for less couch, potato cat.

This is actually my second one. My first one broke but lasted a long time. But for it's price it's no big deal. My cat is hard to please when it comes to toys. He doesn't play with any of the toys I buy him. I'm still looking for something he would play with. But he loves food. So this definitely keeps him occupied for at least 10 minutes. You just poor in some cat food shake it and it's good to go. He bats it around until one pellet falls out of the hole. This is also great for cat owners who have a cat that eats too much too fast and throws up. This will pace them while also keeping them busy playing with a toy. Definitely recommend.

I got it for my younger cat, but my usually grumpy older cat loves it more. I'm gonna have to get a second one. Works as intended. No complaints.

Of all the toys and feeding gadgets we've bought - this is my favourite! He gets treats in it during the day. 3am he used to wake me to go look at his food bowl while he ate, now I hear him softly rolling this around "hunting" his food and leaving us in peace. The opening is wide enough for easy filling of even the larger treats, but can be rotated smaller when I want his food to last. Truly the first hands off "toy" he has.

Gioco divertente per gatti :)

I got this for my chihuahua, as he is obsessed with food puzzles, but finds all the regular dog ones too easy & gets bored with snuffle mats. It's perfect to put some kibble and treats in, and the smaller opening makes it more challenging for him, which keeps his interest and excitement up. It was a hit straight away, and he's loving bashing it about. It seems well made, and it's withstanding being bashed and nuzzled all over the hallway. A great buy!

Jag måste stimulera min gammla kat att äta mer, och detta grej fixa det 😻

this fell apart on opening it and its broken now, cannot use at all.
