"This is a great product! My cats love it and it was well worth the money. It is challenging and fun to get the treats out, but the quality of it is important and not fully up to their standards "

— JenzKatz

"Before I typed the original review, I didn't mind losing weight from the cats, but now I just don't treat them entirely to this because it is so cheaply made I can't believe I payed alot of money for it."

Bottom Line

If you have a food-motivated cat that enjoys puzzles, this toy could be a great addition to their playtime. However, be aware of the weight issue and the potential for kibble to come out all at once. For cats that are lightweight, you might want to look for a lighter alternative.
