This ball is excellent, I put all of my (slightly plump) cat's meals in there and it means it takes her about 10 minutes to consume the meal rather than 30 seconds! Therefore by the time she has finished there is time for her body to recognise that she has eaten and she doesn't immediately request more food!

It is such a neat toy but I just can't seem to get my kitten interested! I will keep trying!!!

I use this ball not as a "slimming aid" but to keep my cat busy. I don't use it every day. My cat (I have 2, one is quite fat and totally indifferent to this product, the other is very slim and loves this) always asks for food and can sometimes be very noisy and gets quite agitated, so I give him this ball to roll around with 6-8 tiny treats inside and it seems to calm him down. I think this is a brilliant product, you can use it with any kind of dry food because you can adjust the gaps to adapt to the size required. My fat cat is not interested in the ball, probably thinks it's too much hard work!! I bought a second one for my mum's cat who is old and needs some indoors activity.

Thoroughly recommended if your cat eats too quickly or is putting on weight - my two Siamese eat like vacuum cleaners and will sometimes even eat so fast that they make themselves sick (apparently this is a common Siamese trait - nice). This ball slows mealtime to a crawl as they bat it around the kitchen floor releasing a couple of pieces of food at a time. In fact, it's saved me a fortune as I used to buy pricy Royal Canin Siamese food which is specially shaped to be awkward to eat. Now I can fill this up with ordinary cat food and watch them eat it it slowly.

My kitten piled on weight after being neutured and had to become more active to loose it again. He now has to work for his food and loves his ball. Great for balancing feeding with activity. Easy to take apart and wash the fat & dust from kibbles off. Also been stood on a fair few times but still going strong!!! Another fantastic product.

Our cat loves this, and will play with it for hours. The only drawback is that bits of food sometimes get lodged in awkward places where he can't reach them - he then spends ages trying to get at them! But at least it keeps him out of mischief elsewhere.

My cats love this and will play with it for ages. They are indoor cats so this is brilliant for keeping their minds and paws active without too much effort on the part of the owner! The only downside is that crumbs from the treats can escape through the holes onto the floor.

I got this to try and slow down meals and it does indeed work. Catus finds the smaller holes a bit frustrating so I have to compromise by making the larger holes half-size but he is happy to get his meals this way.

This ball gives a little bit of added stimulation for indoor cats. I never feed kibble simply left in a bowl. My cat always has to work for her kibble by pushing this ball and by using her activity board. Although she doesn't need to roll it far (don't imagine they'll be playing football for their kibble) at least it ensures she paces herself unlike other cats I've met who make themselves sick wolfing down their food.

A lovely idea but depite all my encouragement my young cat is terrified of the ball and won't go anywhere near it. I make sure I put his favourite treats in it too! I'll keep persevering!

I've never seen our cat play with something as long as he plays with this treat ball - well, he plays until he's determined that no food remains anyway, haha. Not sure how much exercise he gets but it certainly keeps him from inhaling his food in one go (which can't be good for him) and I'm sure it provides some amount of entertainment for him. The ball itself is sturdy enough, and it has a clever mechanism through which you can adjust the size of the holes to suit the size of the food.

Currently teaching my cat how to use these! They are a great idea and the adjustable holes mean you can easily control how much food comes out. Fun way for the cats to get food.

i found this was a great way to increase the activity level of my two cats. the size of hole in the treat ball is adjustable so you can make it easier or harder to release the food and use it for different sizes of cat biscuits. i have previously tried giving my cats kong toys to fulfil a similar purpose but my cats destroyed them - the slim cat ball has proved indestructable so far...
