SmartCat Peek-a-Prize Toy Box

One of my cats is a probable bengal mix and her personality shows it. After I unwrapped this, I stuck a bunch of other toys into it and set it on the middle of the living room floor. Cat walked over to it, stuck her paw in the holes and flung every toy out of the box, then looked at me like "Is this all there is?" I thought I had a reject item on my hands, but decided to keep it against a wall with a bunch of toys stored in it. Well, my cat now loves taking things out of the box to play with and rediscovering her old favorite toys, choosing what she wants to play with. (I also switch them out with new toys and those from their other secret supply box.) When I notice a bunch of small cat toys One of my cats is a probable bengal mix and her personality shows it.

So it's worked out great. I should also add that this box is high quality, solid and heavier than one would expect. … more

I was really hoping my girl who loves to play by herself and loves to play with these types of balls (or anything she can pick up with her teeth) and hide it from herself under the closet door or other places...I was hoping she would love to work to get things out of this (I put some mice, other balls etc in it too) but she doesn't really seem to care to try. Her brother played with it a bit at first, but not much since then. Once in a while I'll walk in the room and there will be balls pulled out, but it definitely isn't the exciting toy that I thought it would be for them for the price.

This was the first puzzle feeder we introduced. Cat likes it but looses interest unless a human stays nearby and encourages him to play (points out treats inside etc). Maybe it's because he can't see the treats as easily as the Trixie Activity Fun Board which definitely holds his interest longer.

I know my cats really enjoyed this toy while it lasted. The holes around the sides of the toy were the same size as the top, which allowed for the interactive balls to fall or be pushed out. It’s a great toy my cats love, but that’s a major concern or issue that I have with this toy. Perhaps smaller sizes for the edges or a using rope/tape to prevent the fall out.

I have a Tortoiseshell-Calico cat. She's about eight years old or so, but very active and playful. I thought this might be a good pastime for her. The box is well-constructed and solid, and comes with two balls. She had the balls out in about twelve seconds. I've put other toys in, and she has to work a little harder because they aren't all round. I might suggest they reduce the number of holes on the *sides*, so it isn't SO easy to retrieve the balls. She likes it, but not quite as well as I'd hoped. She's too smart for it.

Thought the cats would love this, they mostly were disinterested. I sprinkle some Temptations inside every now and then to get them to use it, at least that keeps them busy for a bit. Maybe other owners have more success with it, but we seem to get more mileage out of a pack of hairbands or some other inexpensive things for them to play with

Very poor design. I spent 25 dollars on this thing. It consists of holes on the top and sides with balls inside. The side holes are large enough for the balls to be knocked out of the box. So, in 2 minutes my cats had the balls out of the box and lost in the house. I wasted 25 dollars for 2 minutes of play. Why wouldn't you make the side holes smaller so the balls will remain inside and in play?

All holes are the same size so my cat pushed the balls out through the side holes in less than a minute ending his fun and making the toy useless. IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAT DO NOT BUY THIS TOY.

My cats love this toy box. It keeps them busy and it doesn't make any noise which is always a plus! I put some of their other small toys, like mice and balls in there and they have fun getting the toys out. I would recommend.

I have 4 rescue cats. Two with claws, with without. Only one of the cats with claws is smart. She plays with this for hours. The boys sit and watch her. I guess that is entertaining enough. Also it is very well made.
