"Stella gets 10 treats in this toy each day. She really likes it, she gets an automatic reward. The ball has a variety of size openings and you could feed your cat a full meal of kibble if you choose. Stella isn’t food motivated in general but loves getting treats from this toy."
"It scatters too much food on the ground. Even though I tried to close it up to reduce the amount coming out, it is still too much. It has become a toy for Smokey but Bandit, who needed it for diet, does not get the benefit of it."
Bottom Line
It's a solid interactive feeder that can help manage your cat's weight and provide mental stimulation. However, be prepared to adjust the openings to minimize food scattering.
