I bought this because my indoor cat was swallowing his food too fast and then throwing up. This toy made him slow down and stop puking. These are the steps I took to make it work: 1- Used treats and catnip to get his attention 2- demonstrated to the cat that by rolling the plastic mouse food would come out 3- left the cat alone (in peace lol) and later checked to see if the mouse was empty. It was!!!! 4- mission accomplished :-)

My cat was a stray I took in about 4 years ago. He always ate quickly and promptly threw it back up in the morning, so I've always had to feed him in small portions throughout the day. Recently he's become quite the scavenger by jumping in the sink and going through the trash, which he still does. However, this feeding mechanism really helps him slow down his eating, he's even chewing the kibbles now! The product looks only slightly different from what's pictured here... those look more like the trainer (the blue one without the mousey jacket). They actually have an adjustable lever that determines how much food is dispensed. When I have it on the smallest setting he gets about one-two kibbles My cat was a stray I took in about 4 years ago.

When I have it on the smallest setting he gets about one-two kibbles at a time--for size reference I feed him Blue Buffalo Wilderness Salmon. He has gotten a little bored of them lately (it's been about two weeks since we started using them) and sometimes some kibbles get left behind, but usually if we drop a few on the ground to remind him he'll nudge it around and eat from it. … more

The cats seem to like the mouse treats but comes apart easy great idea.

I was pretty sceptical about this item. I thought for sure my cats would be jerks about using these. I fill these up at night for them to hunt so they do wake me at the crack of dawn for breakfast. My only complaint is one of those strings came out immediately and I haven't been able to fix it. Definitely recommend :) 4 paws up

My five month old cat enjoys playing/hunting and eating. We don’t hide them because another pet might get to it, but my cat still enjoys eating from the mouse feeders and his bowl. We like to mix it up.

I have 3 cats. One fat. I just put some food in the mouse and let him work on it. He’s smart and understands how to get the food out. I limit what I put in & plan to start hiding his mouse soon. The other 2 are stupid. After 2 weeks, I still have to turn the mice over! Soon I’ll quit helping them, but if they don’t eat enough I have cat fights. Won’t ever be able to hide theirs because ‘Fat Cat’ would eat everyone’s. One mouse has just big holes, so that one is easier. Really great for my situation. My 2 dummies will get better. Be sure to put plastic container in mouse with bigger end forward.

I like the idea of these, but my cats struggle with them and then give up

spills cat food everywhere. cats are not that interested in the feeding system. my dog loves it though. it is well made but not worth buying

I bought two sets as replacements for two sets which needed to be retired. The cats destroyed the sleeves and the dog got to the plastic insides. I've been using the originals for over a year and my cats love puzzles and ball feeders. Unfortunately the new design only has one adjustable opening rather than two open holes so it behaves differently. I can see how the new adjustable design could work for better for some pets and some food but my cats don't care for it--I think because not as much food comes out at once even when all the way open. They used to play until the toys are empty and now they use them but lose interest before they are empty.

I thought I knew what I was getting and would receive the style shown in the photos so I didn't read the reviews. Now I see other mentions of the toys not matching the images. May cats love puzzles so hopefully they will get used to these but in the meantime I am primarily using the "trainer" from these sets an I snapped up two packs of the older style from another seller who confirmed they had old stock. … more

My older cats had no interest but the younger cats loved it. Great way to slow down cats that eat too fast that it makes them vomit.
