Entertaining cat treat toy
I received the toy three days ago, and we have used it twice since then. We have only used the 4 games associated with the solid cat treats as we don't have any liquids that would interest our cats. We have 4 cats, all of which are ragdolls, the largest being around 9.5 kg (almost 21 lb). Our largest cat, who is also the most intelligent of the four, has been the most interested in this toy. We put cat treats into all 4 games at once, and he chose which games he tried . He worked out the alley game first, followed by the tunnel, the peg, and then the globe. Of the other 3 cats, the smallest has worked out the alley game and has almost worked out the peg game. The game is very well designed, for example while paws easily fit in the alleys and between the pegs, the cats are unable to get their faces into those areas (and then cheat by licking up the cat treats - they have tried!). I was worried that the toy would not stand up to the rigors of a 9.5 kg cat, and that his paws and legs would be so large that the toy would be too small for him. I was pleasantly wrong on both accounts. While he has massive paws, they easily fit into the alley, and between the pegs, and into the globe. He has no problem hooking the cat treats out of the globe. Hi arm fits well into the tunnel, and this space is relatively large compared to the other leg-based games. The toy is also quite weighty, and has stood up to his entire weight on it, while he angles himself for the peg or globe games. We have also found that the toy sits well on the carpet, and when he wiggles his paws around it, the toy does not move - so the toy is working as intended. We are using the toy on nylon carpet, so I'm not sure if it would stay as firmly in place if it was used on a more slippery surface such as lino or tiles. The only problem is that our big boy thinks it is "his" toy. We will need to purchase a second so our other cats get a look-in. Currently, we are having to bribe him away from the toy to give the other 3 a chance. This may be one reason that the other 2 cats are not giving the toy much of a go: too many cats, insufficiently small number of cat toys.
