Questions & Answers

11 Customer Questions


How do you open this thing? Trying to figure out how to get the 2 halves to come apart?

Answer by ChewyAug 06, 2018
This interactive cat feeder does not open into two halves. This opens by turning and releasing the compartment lid. Adjust the hole size to allow one piece of food to pass through easily. To adjust the hole size, slide open the small lock mechanism conveniently located on the side of the SlimCat, and rotate the top of the SlimCat to the desired hole size. Then slide back the lock mechanism.

my cat's food is blue buffalo which is very small pellets so what's the smallest you can make the hole(s)

Answer by ChewyOct 15, 2020
The opening for this product will measure approximately 1 inch when fully adjusted. This product is compatible with most dry foods in all sizes and hold up to 2/3 cups of dry kibble or treats.

What's the diameter?

Answer by ChewyJul 23, 2018
This interactive cat feeder has a diameter of 3.25 inches.

Is this ball easily lost? I imagine I would have a tough time finding this wherever they last left it.

Answer by ChewyJul 19, 2019
Locating this feeder would depend on a few factors. Such as the size of the home or area the cat is playing in or the cat themselves. Since all cats play differently, we wouldn't be able to determine how easy it is to find the feeder. This feeder measures 3 ¼ inch in diameter.

Good product for enrichment and to make her have to work for some of her food

my young adult cat loves to eat! I have had something similar before when I owned labrador retrievers. She is food motivated like one ofthose, so I was glad to find this product. As suggested, we decrease the amount of food she gets from her automatic feeder so that she would show more interest in this ball. Shedoesn't exactly chase it all over the house the way my dog used to, but she does interact with it several times a day to get the foodout. She is a smart girl and does a good job rolling it around so the food comes out. If you don't want to have to vacuum up crumbs and don't want to deal with a toy that is going to make a mess if you it, this is not the product for you. Both my husband and myself have accidentally done that multiple times and then have to pick up cat food that has scattered in its path as it . I suppose we could leave it there for the cat to take care of, but we just put it back inside the ball. You adjust the size of the holes And I think this toy is an excellent enrichment item that engages more natural cat behavior.

My cat is puzzle feeder expert, and this thing is no exception. Not content to simply bat it around and let it dispense the food at the difficulty I've set, she has figured out how to open it and dump it all out at once! While not its intended use, it still keeps her getting into "good touble" instead of getting into things she isn't supposed to... so it doesn't so much work as a slow feeder for us, but it does force her to use her brain and work for the food at least a little bit. I use this for smaller portions of her meals, and other puzzles for the remainder.. so she doesn't eat too much at once, no matter how ornery she's feeling that day!

I had high hopes for this. I also really like the two different size holes so you can adjust for difficulty and for the size of the kibble your cat eats. My cat likes this toy well enough as well. It does slow down her eating but it doesn’t provide her much exercise. She make sure it’s up against a solid surface so she can bat it around without moving and have thr kibble fall out. Unfortunately my cat is really smart and I came home from work and she had taken the lid off. There is no bell so it’s quite to use after you go to bed which has decreased her complaints at 4am for food.

My cats just don't find this interesting. And i really am not willing to starve them enough to get them motivated to use it. But the design is pretty good... unless you use kibble that's the 1/4" size nuggets. Those just fall out really easily even if you have the holes set to the size to allow them to fall out, they either don't come out at all or they come out really fast. Oh well.

Should be called Fat Cat

Is there a thing called quality control anymore? This ball provides way too many treats at a time so you really need to tape up one of the holes. The size is better

Is there a thing called quality control anymore? This ball provides way too many treats at a time so you really need to tape up one of the holes. The size is better suited for a German Shepherd rather than a cat. Slightly smaller would be better. My cat barely taps the thing. I have to roll it for her.

Cute Idea, but the holes aren’t very great

I think that this toy would be more interactive for my cat if there were more holes and variety to make the treats harder to get out. They kind of just fall out

I think that this toy would be more interactive for my cat if there were more holes and variety to make the treats harder to get out. They kind of just fall out and they aren’t that small of a size if treats so I don’t think it’s user error.

My cat was gulping down the food in her bowl. This ball does a great job of slowing down the feeding and gives her a little exercise at the same time. I have to make sure she doesn't push it under things, but overall, I'm delighted with the way it works.

I got this to keep my cats preoccupied while I'm busy. At least it's better than the handmade cardboard puzzle "ball" I made that wouldn't roll LOL. Easy to use. I just wish narrowing the small holes didn't also enlarge the large holes, and it could use one fewer hole for each size. And the lock isn't very sturdy; I was able to easily shift the difficulty even with the lock engaged. But at least my cats like it. I got two balls: the green one to hold dry food, and pink one for treats. I'd recommend keeping them confined to a large box so they don't roll under the couch or whatever.
