OurPets Play-N-Treat Twin Pack Cat Toy,All Breed Sizes

Just got these because my cats are clearly getting a bit restless and I wanted to find ways to stimulate their hunting instincts. These balls were cheap and seemed to do the job, but my cats either haven't figured it out yet or are scared by it, haha. It might take time to adjust, but otherwise (like others have pointed out) you just have to squeeze the midsection to pop it open and align the notches to close it. It's pretty thick plastic so shouldn't be destroyed too easily. Fingers crossed my cats change their minds soon!

The treats I have for my cats are smaller than the hole and they came out too quickly. I used some tape with a plastic confetti circle on the inside of the ball to reduce the hole size.

I have a cat who loves to hunt treats. She has a number of different treat puzzles and balls like this. I've heard these sorts of things are recommended for keeping your cats entertained and because it helps mimic hunting food in the wild. That said, usually my cat is a bit too smart for her own good and figures these kinds of toys out fast and how to get treats out in a matter of minutes.So I was looking for a new treat dispenser to keep her challenged. The price was right. Unfortunately, she just isn't a fan. For a cat who, as mentioned, often learns to exploit these kinds of toys and get treats out quick, I've found treats lingering int the ball a week later. I'm obviously not a feline so I can only guess as far as why she dislikes this one or how it different from the ones she does like. I think there's a couple of main issues here.- The ball is too round. You'll notice other prominent and popular treat based toys here on Amazon and elsewhere tend to have unusual shapes and some, such a the mouse shaped varieties by Friskies and Temptations (two toys she's always enjoyed, toys even my parents elderly and lazy cat enjoys as well) also have weighted bottoms. Without a weight or odd shape this ball will roll far and fast, too fast sometimes for the treats to fall out. It also tends to get lost easily for similar reasons.- The material. The lightweight yet hard, thin plastic of these balls makes them unusually loud and jarring on my hardwood floors. A guest accidentally kicked one and we were both startled and while my cat is not a jumpy or easily startled cat and can be quite loud herself when she plays, I would imagine she finds the sound unpleasant, as would most cats. I can't say I'm fond of it either and would caution not leaving this one out on hard surfaces, especially at night or where it can accidentally kicked by human feet.- Size. Unlike some reviewers I don't think the hole for the treats to come out is a problem. It's only a touch smaller than the Friskies and Temptations mice I've mentioned and for my cat who is so good at these, too large of a hole would be much too easy. I also don't think, given the other issues, a larger hole would really help much. But the ball itself is rather large, larger than it needs to be given how hollow and unweighted it is. My cat also adored balls and chasing them around the house. But this is larger than any she enjoys playing with. It's not her largest treat toy and she's got some of the bigger puzzle toys also but without a weight or perhaps another hole or two on the other side, it isn't easy to roll around for her.So to summarize, there are far better options on the market. I took a chance even having really other reviews because I knew this sort of toy is something my cat loves and plays with daily. Perhaps you also have a cat who loves treat puzzles and toys also and thought maybe the issue was that other reviewers cats just weren't into them. I can't promise your cat will dislike it as much as mine, but it wasn't hit with a cat who otherwise adores this type of toy.If you're new to these types of toys for your cat, I highly recommend trying one of the ones made by Friskies or Temptations (whether you feed your cat those brands or not, both work fantastically with all kinds of treats!) Or perhaps something like the egg shaped "Eggsercisor" found on Amazon.If your cat is already super into these, give those Trixie puzzleboards a try or even those simple brown boxes with all the holes, that one has always been a favorite of my cats and works well with toys as well as treats. So much so, my cat drops toys in there herself to then fish out and is just as happy to fish out treats from it as well.There are so many options out there and it's easy to do better. I've only given a second star because the toy is sturdy. The plastic feels cheap but it's been slammed into walls and even tripped over by humans in shoes and it hasn't broken. Plus you get a set of two for such a low price. But it seems to lack appeal and useability from a feline perspective.

I like that you can use it as a multi-purpose cat toy. I don’t like that the treats din’t come out so easily. My adult cat hasn’t figured it out yet. But the younger one enjoys.

They were interested but didn't know what it was and lost interest quickly.I put treats in the opening where they are supposed to come out b/c its difficult to open and close.Glad I didn't pay much. Not worth it

It’s bigger than I thought and she’s bolts from it if I roll it towards her. Tried catnip in it, treats and her crunchy food, she’s just not into it unfortunately.

My cat likes it and can get the treats out easily.

Pry open. Pry open is possibly producing less "kick it and all the treats scatter". Gotta have the right size screwdriver. My cats want another egg size treat dispenser that works and the screws part is not all worn out! This one is spherical, thinner, pry open, snap shut. Being somewhat disabled, I cannot pry it open, I cannot snap it shut. I need a screw that is easy to fill, easy to close.....I gave it 4 stars as it really is a treat dispenser, as described. Very lightweight. I am accustomed to a treat dispenser that screws. Odd getting used to this.

Its a bit difficult to close, but the hole is big enough for Temptations treats to come out no worries. Very sturdy

You can shove treats again, but they sure ain’t coming out again! This works only if you have very small square treats. Brands like Greenies just end up being a tease for the poor cats.

It's a fun idea if your particular type of treats fit the hole. I buy one of the most popular name brands - they are small but vary is shape, so not all of them will fit though the hole. It was a bit annoying to get the ball apart, but that is what it is. My cat preferred me to shake them out anyway, he wasn't interested in doing it himself. Cats. They do what they want!

Mes chats ont vite appris comment ça fonctionne. En dedans de 5 minutes, les gâteries ont été mangées.

I ordered these for my cats to play with and get some extra exercise. However, training my cats was another story. The little treat balls are well made and are of a solid material, but it's a gamble whether your cats will like them. It's not the fault of the item, just the stubbornness of your cat will dictate the success of the ball.
