catit 51282 Treat Ball - cat treats ball

This ball is great to help your cat work a bit harder for their treats and keep them busy. I have a new cat in the house and while he isn't allowed outside yet, this is great at keeping him busy finding treats. Although I have to hide it so he has to find it as he's getting too good at it and will empty it rather quickly. But its robust and works as intended, really glad we got it.

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.

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.

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...

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

My chi loves pushing this to get treats out. Wish the main ball twisted open to make it easier to clean and subsequently dry. Water gets trapped and takes a while to dry out. Otherwise very robust and provides good enrichment and activity to a dog who doesn’t play with toys and it’s very anxious outside the house.

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!

Of all the toys and feeding gadgets we've bought - this is my favourite! He gets treats in it during the day. 3am he used to wake me to go look at his food bowl while he ate, now I hear him softly rolling this around "hunting" his food and leaving us in peace. The opening is wide enough for easy filling of even the larger treats, but can be rotated smaller when I want his food to last. Truly the first hands off "toy" he has.

Gioco divertente per gatti :)

Jag måste stimulera min gammla kat att äta mer, och detta grej fixa det 😻

this fell apart on opening it and its broken now, cannot use at all.

I bought this for my cat who doesn't play with any toys EVER!, but I figured since it dispensed treats he might be at least into that part. First couple of days I literally had to teach him how to play with it lol, yup got right down on the ground and batted it around (the things we do for our fur babies) ... now 2 weeks into him having his new toy, he a pro soccer player lol..... he's kicking this ball around the house like Beckham. I love that it doesn't dispense the treats very easily and makes him actually work for it. Although I think that might be what he doesn't like and he tends to smack it around really hard lol..... Great product, love and makes my cat happy and physically active :)
