catit 51282 Treat Ball - cat treats ball

I got this for my chihuahua, as he is obsessed with food puzzles, but finds all the regular dog ones too easy & gets bored with snuffle mats. It's perfect to put some kibble and treats in, and the smaller opening makes it more challenging for him, which keeps his interest and excitement up. It was a hit straight away, and he's loving bashing it about. It seems well made, and it's withstanding being bashed and nuzzled all over the hallway. A great buy!

My greedy cat sussed this out in seconds. She's on a strict calorie-controlled diet so it's a good way of ensuring she eats her dry food slowly, plus it keeps her amused. My only complaint is that the twisting mechanism has loosened up. As she bats it around it shifts and reveals the larger hole, meaning the food is released much too fast. So as a cat toy it is fine, but after 4 months concentrated use as a feeder it's a write off. If you're looking for a long-term feeding aid I can recommend the Catmosphere which is similar. Slightly larger and heavier, more expensive than the Catit but it can withstand a large and/or determined cat for years... The Catmosphere I bought 3 years ago is still going strong and has the added advantage that unlike the Catit, it comes apart for washing.

This cat treat dispenser and toy is nice. It's a fantastic way to keep a cat entertained. It has a simple design, it's easy to use and it turns snack time into a fun challenge. Our cat loves it! Unfortunately the quality is not that great...We had to tape it to hold the pink part and the clear part together. Now we have to refill the dispenser through the hole. Don't think I would buy it again though...

We have 2 kittens who, despite being fed the correct amount of dried food, are thieves and will poke their noses into everything! As such, cooking and meal preparation can be a real problem, unless they are banished from the kitchen at every meal time. This cat treat ball - which we use with their regular Royal Canin cat food - makes a huge difference, making our meal times both pleasant for us and entertaining for the cats. As the cats tend to be fed just before us, we merely put most of their food in their dishes and the rest into the ball to allow us to get on with cooking/eating in peace. The ball is of sturdy construction and the holes where the food/treat comes out can be adjusted, by minuscule amounts, by a simple twist of the coloured plastic base. This makes the ball suitable for a wide range of cat foods/treats. We also purchased a PetSafe SlimCat Feed Ball at the same time as this and have found this to be better, as the 'spiral maze' inside delays the food dispensing for longer than the open ball construction of the PetSafe, giving us more peace! In the video, you'll see the ball being used with a relatively large opening but, with fine adjustment (and possibly the marking of the optimal opening size with a pen), you can make it far more challenging than this. All in all, this is a great product. It is cheaper than the PetSafe SlimCat (46p at the time of writing!), can be made more challenging and can be used for slimming your cat or as a superb distraction for inquisitive or greedy cats, allowing the human in the house to be more productive! Highly recommended.

Catit Treat Ball, Blue A really good cat treat ball, Its easy to fill the size of the ball is also good i like the fact it has a maze inside so it does make the cat work for their treat. The opening can be either fully opened which i had to use for the first couple of days in order for the younger one to understand how to get the treat out once that was figured out and it became easy i closed it up slightly to make it more of a challenge. I have bought one of these for each off my cats. my only complaint is for some reason the cat seem to go room to room with the ball and then you end up kicking or stepping on the thing and breaking it so that i would be more aware off. So far Ive used these for a while and none of my cats have broken one yet, myself on the other hand several. being plastic once broken you ill need to replace it. Overall a good treat ball for cats, Even my oldest cat still uses her treat ball so i found this a good way of keeping her active in her old age.

Love this treat ball. Brought this for Christmas, very easy to use. The treats we use are the dreamies and they fit fine. The cat has to really roll the ball to get the treats rather than scoffing them all at once. This is really good value for money and has been thinking about buying another (as we have two cats) once we twist the ball it seems to lock in place, maintaining safety. It looks sturdy. I’ll admit I haven’t had to clean it yet, doesn’t really need it- not too sure how easy this would be though. Clean

Great at keeping my kitten entertained. He kept eating his dry too fast so I use this to slow him down and it works great. The only issue is that over time the part that you twist to change the size of the opening lossens over time so sometimes it closes itself which frustrates him. Other times it opens fully and the food pours out which makes the ball itself pointless. I am going to purchase another one though because he loved it when it worked and it did work properly for about 5 month which isn't bad for £4

My kitten tried this but it was too big for her, definitely it would work with bigger cats, example 2-3kg. Mine was interested in the treats for sure but it was too heavy to poke around without making a scary loud noise and then she drop it and got distracted with something else. I have to say also that it went downstairs for 4 steps on day 1 and it cracked open on one side.. the internal blue spiral was missaligned and some treats got stuck. I had to force it open to release that and assemble it again but i notice the transparent and blue part were glued so i ended up adding tape. This did not make it more attractive to the furry pet, hence the three stars.
