FUNKitty Egg Cersizer - Cat Slow Feeder - Interactive Cat Meal Dispensing Toy - Great for Portion Control and Fast Eaters - Improve Digestion - Cat Enrichment and Exercise Toy

Thank you for 10+ years of service! This thing held up like a champ with my cat. We originally used it to slow down his eating to avoid the “snarf and barf” situation. We used a successfully for years. Then as he got older, we realized that he was dropping weight and needed a little extra so we put a higher calorie food in it just to give him a little help. This has worked out great for us as we continued to feed him his regular “older cat” food and at the same time are able to keep weight on him in a slow and steady way. Plus, it’s super fun to watch him knock that egg over and roll it around and figure out how to get something out of it. In 10+ yrs, he hasn’t gotten bored of it yet! I really went ragged just the last month or so. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with this Egg-cersizer and I was very willing to replace it. The new one came super quick. It’s nice and shiny and not beat up and I’m happy to have it back in the family.

I liked this little treat dispenser. It seems durable since my cat has really tossed it around. The holes are adjustable but I didn't like that I couldn't get them small enough & had to cover the hiles with scotch tape to keep the treats inside & make it more challenging for my cat. Thos is not great on bare floors. Besides skidding all over the place the sound on bare floors will drive you crazy especially when you're trying to watch tv & the cat decides he's interested in it in the middle of a good movie. It comes apart easily for cleaning. I use a little Dawn because his treats leave fish smelling residue. Even with the holes patially covered with tape it was not much of a challenge for him. He grew bored within a week. The price is fine. In the end my cat liked a paper towel roll with holes cut into it & taped at both ends. He finds it more challenging as he has to work harder for the treats & it doesn't fly across a bare floor. I just though this dispenser would be more like a Cadillac compared to the paper towel role. It's a cute little treat dispenser & a good price. It's just not as challenging because although adjustable the holes are still to big & the treats came rolling out without much effort from my cat.

I have 2 cats. One is a glutton and the other is a puker. The glutton got really overweight and was unable to clean herself properly. I had to give her bathes to help her. The person I live with would feed her every time she meowed at them begging for food even though she was not starved and it was terrible for her. Before this I tried using a scheduled portion controlled automatic feeder for my cats to get them to stop begging people and told people to not feed them at all anymore. Sadly people continued feeding them so it really did not work out and that was a lot of money down the drain for me. Very frustrating! The puker would eat too fast and later throw up some food. Not often but it happened more than I want it to because I don't want it to happen AT ALL. As a result of this toy... My glutton has lost enough weight in one months time to be able to clean herself. Yay! She must have lost 1lb at least!? I didn't weigh her so I don't know but you can visibly see it regardless. I did supplement this with playing with her more as well so probably not all credit goes to the toy but it has definitely LARGELY contributed. My puker no longer throws up! Double yay! Some people just simply do not understand how this toy works so if you're considering it, please don't be discouraged by the people who think it doesn't work. Let me just clarify something... If you twist the settings at the top so that each hole is less than about a quarter inch open.... Your cat will have to work for it. The food does not just fall out. However, if you completely open one hole on the thing then obviously food is just going to fall out... It shouldn't be hard to figure out but for some, it is. My cat gets at most 3-4 kibbles to drop out of it in a single bat. That's being generous. Normally it's just 1-2. The kibble I feed my cats are very small as well. So they really have to keep batting the toy to get a full meal which is better than just scarfing it down out of a bowl which is effortless and requires no energy at all and contributes to eating too fast and/or gaining weight. And because it takes time for them to get a meals worth, they eat slower which is healthier for a puker. Because it requires work, THEY STOP either because it's empty or because they are no longer hungry enough to keep playing with it! This is good. Especially for a beggar. They can simply come back to the toy later when they're hungry enough to play with it again and work their food out. My cat took some time to get used to the new system but now she doesn't beg me for food unless the toy is empty so it really does help throughout the day if she isn't pestering me or people I live with for food because she ate it all at once. It's also very very easy to wash and clean! I don't think I'd trust it in the dishwasher even on the top rack... I'd suggest giving it a good scrub with soap and water by hand and letting it air dry. Literally the only con to this toy... I should have gotten 2. That way I only have to fill each one up once a day and each cat would have their own. My cats did develop some behavioral issues towards each other because they were forced to share. My puker is part feral and has always had attitude. She has attacked my glutton in frustration. Nothing damaging but enough to get the point across that she doesn't want to share lol. But I just ordered a second one so that issue will be mended soon. I highly suggest this toy for overweight cats! It's SO good!

This definitely has helped my cat eat slower. I only gave it 3 stars because it is a pain to screw together--takes numerous attempts for it to line up. Otherwise, it works well and so far (about 2-3 months), it has held together.

Keeps my cat busy rolling the ball for treats

Compré este producto para reemplazar otro muy parecido (en forma de pelota) que me duró alrededor de un año. Mi experiencia con el producto anterior fue muy buena ya que le ayudó a mi gato a bajar de peso y a hacer más ejercicio, y esta versión también cumple con su función. El diseño es más divertido y llamativo, y la forma ovalada hace que sea un poco más difícil hacer rodar el juguete. Lo que más me gusta de este producto es la posibilidad de controlar la dificultad ya que se puede usar tanto con tres como con dos o con tan solo uno de los agujeros abiertos. Por lo tanto, se adapta a las necesidades de cada gato y es muy fácil de usar tanto para los pequeños felinos como para los humanos. Por último, el precio es muy asequible y el producto lo vale totalmente.

Love this and there is a pink round one. Prefer this one. You have many settings 3 holes and you get to chose if u want 1 hole it all 3 holes open. One of the better one like my top 3 from the ones I have. Also easy to clean as it opens.

Do your cat a favor and get this! It's not any better than other food balls I've tried, but it's good to give cats some variety with different kinds. My cats eat dry food exclusively out of food balls, and they figured this one out pretty quick. It really helped with one of my cat's tendency to binge eat. She is just too lazy to hit the ball if she isn't actually hungry and it makes her eat slower. Highly recommended by our vet as well.
