"All 3 of my cats seem to be a fan. It's a great way to slow them down and make them get a little exercise for their food. I will be ordering 2 more so they each have their own, and may try feeding with these, since they hold 1/4 cup and that's how much they each get at a time."

— Apryladdia

"The light would not work and all the batteries were ok. Plus the holes on the sides are so big that the average cat treat just falls out easily. I would like a refund."

Bottom Line

The Mad Cat Batty Bulb Slow Feeder may serve as a fun toy but not the best feeder. Users should expect frequent battery replacement and design flaws. Users are advised to source alternative feeders if long-term use and value are prioritized.
