Product Description
Product Description
Today's modern cats seldom get a chance to hunt for their food. As a result they sit around and wait for their food bowl ! This is one of the root causes of obesity in modern cats.
The Pestafe Slim Cat ball was designed to make meal time more challenging and more interesting for your cat. Fill the ball with your cat's daily ration, and let him work it out ! Holes in the ball will allow dry food to fall out progressively as your cat plays with the ball. A simple twist will make it more or less challenging depending on your cat's personality.
With the Petsafe Slim Cat ball, your cat will eat slower and exercize at meal time, improving digestion and keeping him at an optimal weight.
Product Description
The Petsafe Slimcat Treat Ball offers a fun yet healthy way to provide your feline's food helping him to remain both mentally and physically stimulated!
The Slimcat treat ball has an adjustable opening for different sizes and amounts of dry cat food or treats which will be distributed as your cat plays with the ball, rolling it around. Smaller portions of food during the course of the day will help your cat to maintain an optimum weight as well as promoting healthy digestion.
The treat ball is perfect for all cats, and is particularly useful for overweight cats who will benefit from the activity.
For helping cats to shed the pounds, simply fill the treat b all with a healthy amount of dry cat food and watch him get to work with the treat ball, slimming down as he has fun!

I read the other two reviews and was a little worried that a)I would not be able to work out how to open the ball and b)the cat would not be able to work it out!
never fear, it is easy to open the ball, just turn the bar on the bottom of the ball. The ball itself has ajustable openings so different sized food is not a problem, and as your cat gets used to the ball, you can adjust them smaller to make it more difficult for the food to drop out and therefore make your cat work harder.
Bailey had no trouble with the ball once she got over the pride issue of having to work for her food (she used to wait until you had left the room before patting the ball!).
For the cost it is worth giving it a go.

This is a great little product and easy to use for the human. The bottom of the ball just twists off, you place the dried munchies inside the ball, twist the cap back on, decided how big the holes in the ball need to be to allow the muchie through and then lock it in place. Couldn't be simpler. My two cats were bouncing up and down to be fed so I rolled the ball towards them (little munchies falling away from the ball as I did) and cats did a bunk out of the cat door! They came back in, sniffed the ball, decided it was no threat then settled down for a kip. Lesson to human, they are as conditioned as I am in that when they hear my car pull up, it's feeding time, hungry or not. I decided to leave them to it and not put food down, after all, a 7kg cat who can work out that the pack of dried food is kept in the top cupboard and manages to open the door, knock the huge bag to the floor and tear through it for a midnight feast for him and his brother can definitely work out how to knock a ball around, right? Wrong!
I have decided that my 6 year old moggies have become too used to silver service and that's why they are so overweight and idle. The product is good, it rolls with the lightest of touch even when filled with food and it seems sturdy enough. I can't blame the Slimcat ball - one of us is burning calories chasing it round the carpet and two of us are looking on bemused. Meanwhile, it's a waiting game to see who caves in first . . . .
Follow up to my review: Last night I made the moggies go hungry because they turned their noses up at their usual good quality dinner and hey presto! In the morning the ball - which had been hanging around since last week - was empty! So I haven't got moronic moggies, just lazy ones, the ball works.

This slimcat ball is so easy to use my cat loves it, didn't take him long at all to figure out how to use it. It holds just the right amount of food, and being able to adjust the size of the holes is a great idea. very clever product. only downfall is I expected the ball to be slightly bigger in size.

Clever cat
I got this for my mum's overweight cat. Although the idea is good, he has managed to figure out a way of getting his food out of the ball without doing too much exercise. Read more

Erica is a fussy eater and an old lady that still loves to play with rolling toys, so we thought to give this a try. She lost interest in this ball within 2 days. Read more
