This does what it's supposed to do. I just wish it was a bit more difficult to get the treats out. The cat is usually able to get everything out of the ball within a minute or two. It is not challenging at all. Perhaps a kitten under 6 months may experience more of a challenge. But a cat of one year just has to tip this over and essentially everything just dumps out.
Do not get me wrong! If you put a little bit larger treats or dry cat food, it would work out very well.
However, if you're a multi-pet household, and have a large dog, this may not be ideal unless your dog is very well trained to leave the cats toys alone. The size of the ball and the fact that it has food in it, can be very tempting to the dog. And as this ball is so small, a large breed dog, could easily get this ball stuck in his throat or quickly chew it apart because the whole thing will fit in his mouth.

Kong could definitely improve the design to make it more challenging and fun for kitties.

I'm always on the look out for new toys that our cat Jack may enjoy, he can be very finicky. In combination with this toy, I hide treats around the home in order to appease his scavenger instincts. Happy kitty. For those interested the ball weighs 31 grams and has a circumference of 22 cm.It took him a few days to understand what was going on, in fact, the first few days had me swatting around the ball to get treats out myself (I didn't eat them!). He learned within a few days to swat at the ball when he sees it to see if he can hear treats. Now Jack has become an old pro with this toy and can get the treats out in about 2 minutes. I can extend that time by shoving a tissue into the dispenser to make it a little more difficult, pictured below. It's not a bad toy, but Kong could definitely improve the design to make it more challenging.
