Catstages Hunt 'N Swat Treat Tumbler Interactive Treat-Dispensing Cat Toy, Pink

These are great fun for your kitty. Holds about 4-5 meow mix irresistables; I didn't think my cat would be able to get them out, but he surely did, with a quickness! They are a little fragile (if you step on them they will break)!

Because of the smaller size of the openings, kibble does not dispense from these toys as easily as it has from other kibble-dispensing toys I've used in the past (from a variety of manufacturers), so it took a few days for me to train my cat that there was food inside these plastic mice and how to bat at them to get the kibble to come out. (Training entailed my repeatedly getting down on the floor with her, pushing the mice with my own hands and also holding her paws to push the mice with her paws, and showing her that food was being dispensed.) Since she caught on, she has kept at them (I use all three mice for every meal, put in a variety of locations) until they disgorge all of their kibble. She seems to be getting more efficient, but it can take some time, and the owner must have the strength not give in to meowing that pleads for an easier option. :-)I don't know that all of the decoration on these mice makes any difference. Given that my cat also readily uses other kibble-dispensing toys that are quite plain, I don't think the decoration on these is making them more attractive to her. At the same time, I do appreciate that the fabric covers and the irregular shapes slow the dispensing process, as compared to plain balls.One small quality-control issue with the set I bought was that the fabric cover was misaligned on one of the three mice, so the opening was partially blocked by the fabric. I had to manipulate the tightly attached cover to unblock the opening; otherwise, it was quite difficult to get the kibble in or out.On the whole, I'm very happy with this purchase, as it adds effort and play to the feeding process.

I originally purchased this at my local Wal-Mart years ago and my cat loved it. So much so, she stretched the rubber band out and treats wouldn't stay in it. My cat is super picky and I have purchased her many toys over the years that have been nothing but a waste of money. I tried finding it again at Walmart for a while and then stumbled across it on Amazon thankfully and I bought two of them. She has already pulled the feathers off and has started to stretch the rubber out, but I put it away when I'm not there just in case. She knows exactly where it is and meows for me to take it out when she wants to play with it and will play with it for a while. The whole is a little small so I have to break the treats in half so the can come out. Not the most quality made cat toy but definitely worth it for my finicky cat.

No way to load the treats into this, very difficult to get them out. Not sure why they ask about "suction power" there is nothing with suction on this. It is very cheaply paid, and was broke with in 10 minutes. You have to force tiny treats into it, and it would be a miracle if the cats were able to get any to come out. The cheap elastic string holding the tail and head on didn't last at all.

The media could not be loaded.  I've had this treat dispenser for 4 months and I'm very happy with it. As you can see in the video, my cat is too! Besides the fact that my cat was able to pull out some of the feathers, I don't have anything negative to say about this toy.Some tips:- You can pop the tail off to refill treats. I couldn't figure out how until a few months in. You need to turn the tail counterclockwise. It might feel stuck at first and may take a bit of effort to open.- If your cat doesn't know how to play the game, you may have to teach them. My cat initially tried to retrieve treats by pushing it around with his face. I had to grab his paw and use it to swat the toy until a treat came out. It took some time, but he eventually figured it out.- When first introducing this to your cat, do not overfill the toy. If you overfill, depending on the size of the treats, it may make it more difficult for your cat to swat out treats and discourage them. Now that my cat is a seasoned treat hunter, I fill mine with ~1/3 cup of Hill's Science Diet for adult indoor cats. Each kibble is just a bit smaller than the dispenser hole, and it can take a while for him to swat the first couple out. As the toy empties, it will be easier. Once your cat gets the hang of it, overfilling may help keep your cat busy for half an hour or so.- Make it into a game! I like to hide the toy somewhere easy for my cat to find as a nice surprise while he's wandering around.

Hole too small to release treats.

My cat adores this toys, however she likes to throw them around to like.. see them fly or something and they don't last that long if you do that hahah. But the thing that breaks is the ball inside.Also, if the ball comes out it is a little difficult to put it back in (just so you know) but overall they are good toys, and I will surely keep being them.(because I don't want my cat to be sad.)

Cats will play with it once in awhile but don't seem very impressed. It seems kind of awkward for them to move around

I bought this for my cat as I couldn't find her Dreamies mouse. I found that in the christams decorations after buying this. I think this mouse is too big and heavy for her and the treats do not fall out as easily as the smaller Dreamies mouse. I considered using it for her actual food. That comes out easy enough but I don't think I will. So it'll probably sit there unused.However, the mouse is good quality and cheap enough.

The mouse is really sturdy which is good but it’s far too difficult to get the treats out. My cat gave up instantly.

Cat showed little interest aa treats were very difficult to disperse toy appeared robust would not recomend

The media could not be loaded.  No complaints! This is an effective treat dispenser. Took off the feathers because she was eating them. For reference, this is a small sized dry food (purina one bifensis). I use the biggest setting which makes the crunchies fall off easy, otherwise she wouldn’t bother if she had to work harder for it!
