   I bought this thinking it would be a big hit, ball + treats = win, right? Neither of the treats my cat likes work really well with this thing, though it would not really matter if they did, the cat was completely unimpressed.
   
   Maybe it’s just my cat’s toy preference, but this was a waste for me.

   She likes strings, but I thought I’d give ‘em a try.
   
   I put dry cat food in one, but first I gave her one filled with catnip. She liked the catnip one for a minute, but she’s not interested in the food one. We’ve tried, believe me!
   
   I think that a kitten would get it, but my 9 year old fat cat just looks at like, “You roll it, I’ll pick up what it drops….”

   As for the design, a screw mechanism on the inside of the ball would help: to OPEN, squeeze at just the right spot along the seam of the the 2 halves. To close is a bit harder, especially when full of kibble/catnip: squeeze together HARD….I imagine you have to get it in just the right spot to close as you do to open. There are little teeth along the inside rim of one half that after a few minutes of trying to get it back together, look like they’ll be snapping off pretty soon.
   
   But my cat isn’t interested anyway, so I may give them to the Goodwill or something. My cat is too lazy and not inspired by this, but I’m sure there are rambunctious cats out there that would like these.

   to open these hard plastic balls since they need to be pried open to fill with treats. they are made of such hard plastic that my cats wouldn’t even touch them. i am returning them.

   Once our kitty figured this one out, it would keep him happily entertained for 20-30 minutes. Dispensing is affected by the type of cat kibble put inside – small round pellets work best. Larger or “X” shaped pellets will tend to clog in the opening. [...]
