Review: Perfect for my senior indoor cat - I purchased this for my senior cat as an enrichment activity for him. I have been putting treats in it before I go to work, and at night when he’s just waking up for the night as cats are nocturnal. As far as functionality, it’s perfect! You can adjust the size depending on the size of treats, and for how easy or difficult you want it to be for the treats to fall out for them. It has been a very safe toy for my cat with no issues. My senior cat does not typically enjoy playing with toys, but since this one involves treats, he loves it and it keeps him occupied and happy. The ball is easy to spin in the middle to change the size of where the treats will fall out of and does not stick at all. Someone with lower mobility in their hands would still be able to adjust it. I would recommend this as it’s great especially for the price!
Review: Detailed Success Story of the Slimcat Ball - Stop the Sad Cry for Food - Background: This is a longer background story than most reviews but I felt it necessary so you could see why we trained our cat with the SlimCat ball in the manner that we did and why we were so successful. The story provides a baseline of where Ashe was before and after the Slimcat. We had recently switched Ashe our 12.6 pound Maine Coon mix to a new brand of cat food. It turns out most cat food on the market has wheat in it, and I could not risk her food sending me to the hospital. None of the Blue Wilderness food contains corn, wheat or soy so I don't have to worry about cross contamination either! The only concern was that her new food was much higher in calories per ounce because it didn't contain a lot of filler. Good Stuff: She is already more active and jumping more. Her hair is shinier and growing longer. She defends us from the goblins during the night now. (active play) She loves the taste of it. Her poops are smaller (because she doesn't have all of that unnecessary bulk going through her digestive track? Great for my cleaning and hopefully more comfortable for her.) Concerns that led to us looking at the SlimCat Ball: It is a higher calorie food so we contacted our Vet so they could tell us given her ideal weight how much of the new food she should be fed each day. Most vets offer a free service where you can call in with the name of the cat food and they will tell you how much your kitty should eat daily, since each cat and food type is different. She went from being fed 3/4 -1 cup of her old food per day to half a cup of the new stuff. (1/4 cup in the morning and 1/4 cup in the evening). The kibble isn't something that you can level in a measuring cup so we ran the conversion of how many calories were per gram and measure her food out each morning and evening using the kitchen scale. This way she is fed exactly the same amount each day. With the change in the mass of food, she started to cry for her food hours before dinner time and it was heartbreaking. The food may have the same caloric intake but her little tummy was used to twice the bulk each day. As hard as it was on us though we were the good parents and per the vets instructions fed her only what she should be fed and kept the same routine. Pink Kitty Cat Balls to the rescue!: I picked these up with the following goals in mind. 1. She would slow down her eating, making her full faster and eventually shrinking her tummy, eliminating the crying. 2. It would increase her interaction with the world so she would think and move a little more while she ate. When fed from a bowl Ashe actually lays down on the floor like a log and within five minutes she has finished all of her food. The first day we shook the ball like we do with the food bag to signal that kibble was in there. We placed it on the floor and my husband tipped the ball with his finger so she had a demonstration of how it worked. She promptly ate the food, then stared at him with a look that said "Ok Dad, thanks for that, please tip it again so I can get moar foodz". (Smart Cat, right!? why do the work when you can get Dad to do it for you) For a second demonstration we did the same but this time with her own paw, then we stopped helping her. I made the mistake of getting up and walking past where her food bowl used to be and she went into Vespa Kitty mode. (sounds like a little Italian bike on a rough road when she purrs and runs at the same time) I heard the little scooter just before she could sneak through my legs and trip me. Not wanting her to get the wrong idea I promptly turned around and went back to the kitchen to stare at her new pink food ball with her dinner. Lo and behold she followed me back to the kitchen and started sniffing the ball; then she started playing with it on her own. Day one it took about 45 minutes for her to complete her meal. We had the ball set to the smaller holes but open all the way so the kibble came out easily. The larger holes seem meant for larger treats. Day two it took her 25 minutes to eat all of her food. This told me she was learning and actively using her mind to solve puzzles, something she doesn't do as a lump in front of her food bowl. Day 3 - 10 minutes but with a new development, she didn't eat all of her food! Ashe always finished all of her food within five minutes, occasionally leaving one lonely kibble which we would joke "one kibble for her, one kibble for her homies". This is the first time she hasn't eaten everything since changing to the new diet. While she doesn't run around like in her goblin chasing nighttime romps while playing with the ball she certainly does get up and move a lot more than she did with the bowl. That movement should add up eventually for a slightly healthier cat. After one week at this hole size setting we reduce it slightly so we can keep her eating slowly and playing longer. The full week at the first size is important so that she feels comfortable with using the ball. The goal is a long term feeding solution that will keep her happy, so no extra frustration in that first week just learning the basics. Conclusion: With this success I am giving this product the five stars it deserves for a great price and it working perfectly as intended! The success of the product rests heavily on the cat owner to be feeding the proper amount of food and to not help the cat out too much. Cats are smart and because of how you have fed the cat all these years they are used to being totally dependent on you for food. Let them learn and think about their food, feed them the proper amount as directed by your vet and you should be very pleased by this product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the dimensions (outer diameter)? Less exciting if I have to fish it out from under the couch every morning.**
A: It's 3.2" in diameter.  Slightly larger than a baseball.

**Q: Are any of the colors transparent?  I have the pink & want a 2nd color that lets me see how much food is left inside.  The blue looks too dark.**
A: The green is very light.  You would be able to see darker colored food or treats through it with no problem.  The orange would also be similar to the green.

**Q: How to you take it apart if it becomes full of ants?**
A: We had a similar issue (not ants, but crumbs, and it made me cringe). We called the manufacturer and got one rep who was clueless, and another who said they don't come apart but for the small hole at the top. So we mixed dawn, vinegar, and water, and used pipe cleaners. We'd shake it, rotate the top to make the feed holes bigger or smaller, and continue to shake, and detail the spaces we could reach with a pipe cleaner.Then we ran it through the dishwasher with a 'sanitary' cycle.They looked (and smelled) like new.I hope this helps!

**Q: Can anyone who has had success w/ their cat and this ball recommend specific cat food brands that work with the design?**
A: I absolutely love these for my fat cat Samson! We use Kirkland brand from Costco. It's perfect for the small setting and doesn't feed too much even at the biggest setting. It's grain free also ...makes for some healthy kitties.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great little product
*by B***N on September 21, 2011*

One of my cats is obsessed with food, and she is the main reason I bought these (I got 2 of them). When it comes to eating, she is like a dog, she practically inhales her food, then looks around for more. I got this hoping to slow down her eating get her to eat less, and entertain her in the process. It didn't end up being a perfect solution, but it works pretty well. It definitely slows down her eating, which i am sure is good by itself, but her obsession with food doesn't allow her to eat less. If I completely fill the ball, she will stick with it until it was empty, so I still have to space out her meals throughout the day with smaller amounts. It also fulfills the entertainment part. She loves it. Granted, she loves it because there is food in it, but she becomes completely engrossed with it, and it is fun to watch. I have it set to release food slowly, and she may have to push it a few times to get a piece out, and she immediately pounces on it. It's really funny if two pieces happen to come out at once on different sides. :-) It's important to note that this is not much of a toy for them without the food in it. The food makes it interesting. It won't be interesting if you also have a full dish of food waiting for them. It's easier to eat the food out of the dish. You really need to use this as their food dish, not in addition to a food dish. That said, my cat took to it immediately. Initially, you need to leave the holes open a little more so that the food comes out easily. It is also a good idea to put a few pieces right next to the ball the first time. It may not be necessary, as my cats seem to be able to tell there is food in it just by sniffing it. Once they realize they get food out of it when they push it around, you can adjust the size of the holes to reduce the amount of food released. My only real issue with this is that the holes could have been done better. You can adjust the size of the openings by twisting the top and bottom sections of the ball. There are oval holes in the sides, but the shape of those holes allows smaller pellet foods to come out too easily (for my needs) or not at all. The round holes at the top might work better for those types of foods, but you can't open those by themselves. To use those, the oval ones on the sides are completely open, which would allow way too much food out. I think it could use a little design tweak. Still it works pretty good. I was using Iams Indoor formula, which is small pellets, and food comes out with every push. I wanted it to come out less often for my food obsessed cat, so I switched to Iams multi-cat formula, which is various shapes. That allowed me to set it so that she can push/bat it several times before a piece comes out. Overall, I highly recommend this product. It was effortless to get my cats to use it. I mainly bought it for my one cat, but my other took to it on their own, without any prep. Just keep in mind that it is a food driven toy. If you have a dish of food sitting out for them, and they are always full, they will likely ignore this.
