Catstages Hunt 'N Swat Treat Tumbler Treat Dispensing Cat Toy

I bought this for my cat as I couldn't find her Dreamies mouse. I found that in the christams decorations after buying this. I think this mouse is too big and heavy for her and the treats do not fall out as easily as the smaller Dreamies mouse. I considered using it for her actual food. That comes out easy enough but I don't think I will. So it'll probably sit there unused.However, the mouse is good quality and cheap enough.

The mouse is really sturdy which is good but it’s far too difficult to get the treats out. My cat gave up instantly.

Cat showed little interest aa treats were very difficult to disperse toy appeared robust would not recomend

The media could not be loaded.  No complaints! This is an effective treat dispenser. Took off the feathers because she was eating them. For reference, this is a small sized dry food (purina one bifensis). I use the biggest setting which makes the crunchies fall off easy, otherwise she wouldn’t bother if she had to work harder for it!

The levels are not great it really only has 1 as the treats don't come out of the others

Much loved by all 3 cats, they really enjoy playing for treats

Definitely not new

The media could not be loaded.  I've had this treat dispenser for 4 months and I'm very happy with it. As you can see in the video, my cat is too! Besides the fact that my cat was able to pull out some of the feathers, I don't have anything negative to say about this toy.Some tips:- You can pop the tail off to refill treats. I couldn't figure out how until a few months in. You need to turn the tail counterclockwise. It might feel stuck at first and may take a bit of effort to open.- If your cat doesn't know how to play the game, you may have to teach them. My cat initially tried to retrieve treats by pushing it around with his face. I had to grab his paw and use it to swat the toy until a treat came out. It took some time, but he eventually figured it out.- When first introducing this to your cat, do not overfill the toy. If you overfill, depending on the size of the treats, it may make it more difficult for your cat to swat out treats and discourage them. Now that my cat is a seasoned treat hunter, I fill mine with ~1/3 cup of Hill's Science Diet for adult indoor cats. Each kibble is just a bit smaller than the dispenser hole, and it can take a while for him to swat the first couple out. As the toy empties, it will be easier. Once your cat gets the hang of it, overfilling may help keep your cat busy for half an hour or so.- Make it into a game! I like to hide the toy somewhere easy for my cat to find as a nice surprise while he's wandering around.

Hole too small to release treats.

Cats will play with it once in awhile but don't seem very impressed. It seems kind of awkward for them to move around

The media could not be loaded.  As a cat owner who is always on the lookout for engaging toys for my furry friend, I recently purchased a mouse cat toy that initially caught my eye due to its attractive design. The toy featured a cute mouse shape with feathers attached, which seemed perfect for stimulating my cat's hunting instincts. However, while the toy looked good, I was disappointed to find that the feathers came off easily, diminishing the overall durability and enjoyment of the toy.Upon receiving the mouse cat toy, my cat was immediately intrigued by the feathers and began to play with enthusiasm. The toy's design was visually appealing, and it seemed to capture my cat's attention effectively. The feathers added an element of movement and unpredictability, which encouraged my cat to engage in active play. In terms of initial impressions, the toy appeared to be a promising addition to our collection of cat toys.However, my enthusiasm quickly waned as I noticed that the feathers started to come off after only a short period of play. Although my cat is a gentle player, the feathers were not securely attached to the toy and began to detach easily. This not only resulted in a decrease in the toy's visual appeal but also posed a potential hazard to my cat if she were to ingest the loose feathers. The lack of durability was disappointing, as it limited the lifespan of the toy and failed to provide the engaging play experience I had initially anticipated.

Don’t make the same mistake I did and put soft treats in this. They definitely don’t work lol! Once I used the right (crunchy) treats, it was great! My cats are semi interested in it but are also lazy bums so…Overall, works great with the proper treats (or even regular cat food). My kids also love it and probably have played with it as much as our cats. No complaints thusfar!
