Catit Treat Ball Cat Toy

My pet parent uses my treat ball with normal kibble for feeding me, and hand feeds me my treats. This slows down my consumption and allows for me to get a little physical and mental exercise on a daily basis. Sometimes I play with it when it's empty, but I much "purr fur" when it has my meals inside! I accidentally knocked it off of the counter in the middle of the night and my pet parent had to glue it back together. It came apart in only three pieces, so my pet parent was clever enough to make everything work again! I really like it when he leaves the treat hole fully open, but sometimes my pet parent uses a piece of Scotch tape to leave the opening at a more challenging size, and My pet parent uses my treat ball with normal kibble for feeding me, and hand feeds me my treats.

I lost my treat ball one day, and it took my pet parent a few days to find it, so they bought a brand new one as a backup! I'm so excited, because I know I'll always have my meals! Overall I give this item four paws! … more

My cat has litterbox behavior issues and I've tried everything from different litter to diffusers to prescription food to meds - most of them st the same time. My vet recommended I get a feeder ball to keep him occupied and reduce some of his anxiety and, hopefully, reduce his anxious behavior. I can't say it helped or not yet, but my cat has been thoroughly occupied by this feeder. And getting anything to keep him active and playing for more than 10 minutes is a win in my book.

My cat is highly food motivated, so this was a breeze to get him to use. He understood right away. The only problem is that the loading/dispensing disc gets loose over time, so that dispensing uses the larger, loading hole. Kitty really loved it until I realized what happened! Was easily remedied with a little painters tape.

My 2 cats have a tendency to scoff down their “cookies”. Well after getting this Treat Ball, it has slowed down one of my cats from scoffing down his cookies, the other one is afraid of the ball. Half of the battle was been won.

We have a few of these because we have 2 cats and a chihuahua, and all of them really like it. You have to be sure to put small enough treats in it but I like the 2 different sized hole options. I showed them how it worked in the beginning and they all picked it up really fast. It’s amazing for whenever I have a busy day and don’t have a lot of energy to play with them, and to mix it up a little to keep them mentally stimulated. Also to keep them from gaining that Covid quarantine weight haha.

Despite some questionable reviews I bought two of these for my kittens awhile ago. They’ve held up well, and both kitties seem to enjoy them. Sirius took awhile to figure out how to get the treats, but learned to follow Tonks and eat the treats she rolled out! On particularly long work days I’ll put their regular dry food in these toys to make sure they get enough to eat.

Our cat loves her treat ball! She comes running when she hears me filling it up. We have to put it away at night though, because she clunks it against the wall.

The boys did enjoy playing with it for a few days, but while I was refilling it, it rolled of the table and was no match for the 2.5' drop. It broke at the seam where it as glued together. We have another treat ball that has survived several falls.

My cat loved this, and I loved adding some of her food to it so she could focus on the feeder for awhile. She moved this thing all over our one-level house and apparently it hit too many walls on its rolling journeys- the top bit, held on by plastic prongs, broke off as the prongs met their limit one by one. This was only a couple months old but had daily use. Cheap enough to replace, yes, and no other treat ball options have quite stacked up, but I'm not looking for an item with such a short life. I wish this had lasted longer.

She likes it. Not all treats will fit but it might be better to break them up anyway. It would be good to use small, hard treats so they don't get stuck. Cat food probably works best but she isn't excited about that.
