Cats love tasty treats and this snack ball is a great way to make a tasty treat even more fun and to turn meal times into a game. Your cat has to work out how to get at the food by rolling the snack ball around. It will enjoy the food all more because of the effort it has put in to getting it. The snack ball is based on a very simple but effective idea. It is made from sturdy, durable plastic with a spiral inside and an opening on the bottom where the treat will fall out. Fill this opening with dry food or treats and shake the ball so that the spiral moves to the top. Then give it to your cat and watch how it discovers how to roll the ball in such a way that the food moves down the spiral and falls out. The snack ball has two levels of difficulty, so you can make it easier or more tricky for your pet to get at the treats. Simply turn the red cover to change the size of the opening.

Good to know
- Finish laser play by landing the dot on a toy or treat, so your cat gets something to catch.
- Rotate toys: keep most of them out of sight and swap a few in each week to keep them interesting.
- Move toys like prey, away from the cat and along the floor, not straight at its face.
Common questions
Why does my cat not react to catnip?
Sensitivity to catnip is inherited, and around a third of cats do not respond. Kittens usually show no reaction until about three to six months old. Many cats that ignore catnip do respond to silver vine or valerian, so those toys are worth trying.
Are laser toys bad for cats?
They are fine in short sessions if the beam is never pointed at the eyes. Because the cat can never catch the dot, finish each session on a physical toy or a treat, which avoids frustration.
