Cats LOVE these toys!
I don’t free-feed my cats, they get a can of wet food each. One of my cats had decided this is not enough, and bothers me all day to be fed. She is, indeed, on a diet, because she got a bit porky. With this ball filled with Purena Weight Control (tiny pieces, perfect for “hardest” setting) and a few bits of bigger food that doesn’t fit through the holes (to make it harder, and to make sure it’s never completely empty, so they never give up on it) she can play all day, and never eat more then half the recommended portion, which is prolly even fewer calories then she spends batting the thing around trying to get foods. It’s a great addition to the wet food I give, as one can doesn’t offer *quite* enough calories for a cat of her size, nor, in the case of my other cat, enough calories for his activity level. With this, it’s occupying all day, reduces the urgency of getting the next meal, and rounds off the calorie count nicely. And for a very reasonable spend.My cats love this thing enough that I have no choice but to buy at least 2 more (1 for each cat +1, same rule as litter boxes 😀 ) but it really keeps them from being destructive and obnoxious when they are bored and/or want food.I doubt this will work for people who allow their cat to eat whatever/whenever or who frequently give treats/scraps, as those are full of way more flavors and, in the case of treats, chemicals, which makes them more appealing… If, however, you don’t free-feed, if you wet feed or portion control, even if you don’t use this toy as a meal server, it’s great to keep idle paws busyIt’s easy to switch settings, although I honestly think it’s a bit too easy, even on the hard setting -being that it’s intended for meals, not treats, though, this is a very very small complaint, and not even a big deal. It holds about maybe a cup of food at a time, and the holes get down to about 1/4 inch across or so, and are shaped like this –> () so you don’t need round food, round-ish flattened foods are good, but X shaped or larger foods are no good, they catch too easily.For a treat ball, there are a few round ones with a single hole that look much harder then this (also on Amazon, in several colors -I ordered a few, and will be reviewing them when they get here ^_^), but it does what it says, my cats love it, and it certainly keeps them occupied

Fantastic value; great design; even my 17 year old cat loves it
My three cats all figured it out quickly. Since it’s adjustable difficulty I started them on easy to help them learn and then made it harder to keep them challenged. Easy to load food – I put my cat’s entire meal in it; some other products you have to load one kibble at a time. Lightweight and simple – similar toys come with unnecessary frills and decoration that cats don’t really care about. Fits large kibble.

Fun for cats@
Really fun for cats & a way to make the chubby ones WORK for extra kibble.

Compré este producto para reemplazar otro muy parecido (en forma de pelota) que me duró alrededor de un año. Mi experiencia con el producto anterior fue muy buena ya que le ayudó a mi gato a bajar de peso y a hacer más ejercicio, y esta versión también cumple con su función. El diseño es más divertido y llamativo, y la forma ovalada hace que sea un poco más difícil hacer rodar el juguete. Lo que más me gusta de este producto es la posibilidad de controlar la dificultad ya que se puede usar tanto con tres como con dos o con tan solo uno de los agujeros abiertos. Por lo tanto, se adapta a las necesidades de cada gato y es muy fácil de usar tanto para los pequeños felinos como para los humanos. Por último, el precio es muy asequible y el producto lo vale totalmente.

Article reçu dans les temps.Correspond à la description, en revanche, la forme de l’objet permet à la nourriture de s’échaper un peu trop rapidement malgré les différents réglages. L’effet « jeu » est donc très bref.Je vais essayer avec des croquettes un peu plus grosses.
