Catstages 2-in-1 Spinning Orange Fish Interactive & Topper for Ball Track, Treat-Dispensing Cat Toy, Blue

The kittens are not quite ready for spinning the fish, so I start by tossing treats into the center bowl and they start learning how to fish out food instead of always just eating the pieces out of a bowl. Actually a big deal for the little scamps (I wonder if they feel the pride I do... hmm). I also put food into the holes in the plastic fish. Note: With small pieces, like most kibble, if you want only one or two to fall out at once, don't put more than five or six into the fish. Otherwise like four will fall out. With bigger pieces, like some treats, it should work better. So like this bigger cylinder salmon treat I have takes a long time to come out, by itself. But I guess the idea is to fill the whole fish with larger than typically small kibble pieces and then they will shove out one at a time like that. The other cool thing was how it fit perfectly on my circular-pyramid-toy-with-balls-that-go-around toy (whatever that's called) by a different make! Dig toy makers into universal fittings now. That's what I'm talking about, man.

Since the start the fish has never really spun smoothly and I would need to have it start with the holes closer to the bottom so my cat can make it turn quickly to get treats before she lost interest. I would also need to be holding the toy down since it does not click properly to my tower track. The stand alone design is also not that great since my cat will knock it over trying to make the fish spin when it’s so stiff. So I am always holding it down for her to even be able to play with it and not knock it over

I can see how it would be fun but my cat protests it. The food doesn’t fall out well if it isn’t full. When it gets low, she can spin it around and around and the food won’t come out. It’s also a little challenging to spin so I don’t think she enjoys it. She uses all her other puzzle toys but this one she refuses at this point.
