Why you'll love it: With three durable dispensers, the
Petsafe SlimCat Meal Dispensing Cat Toy makes feeding time fun for all of your cats.
Sometimes the simplest solutions prove to be the best ones, which is the case with the Petsafe SlimCat Meal Dispensing Cat Toy. This toy is easy to use and easy to understand. Just load up the dispenser with your cat's dry food and let your cat have fun. As your cat pushes the toy around, bits of food fall out, making for a gradual feeding experience that also keeps your cat active.
One of the benefits this toy has over other systems is that it requires relatively low-impact activity from your cat to get a reward. If you're working with an obese, elderly, or arthritic cat, this toy is still a practical option that won't push your cat too hard or be too challenging.
It's also arthritis-friendly in terms of loading, too — a small cap on top turns and snaps into place, but it's easy to operate. And with this three-pack of toys, you can use a toy for each of the cats in a multi-cat home.
The Petsafe SlimCat Meal Dispensing Cat Toy has a 4.6 out of 5-star review on Amazon.
One shopper named Amanda wrote, "I don't free feed my cats, they eat wet food in the morning and in the evening. I got these to leave out during the day and overnight. It keeps them occupied and prevents them from eating too fast. They are also dishwasher safe which is convenient. I originally bought 2 but ended up getting 2 more so I can have a couple extra filled and ready to go. One of my cats caught on pretty quickly, the other wasn't too happy having to do extra work but she's started using it. Very satisfied with this purchase!"
I've used these for my two cats, myself, and they've been a big hit. My cats figured out the concept right away, and now at mealtime the eagerly wait as I load up their toys.
If you have a large home, I'd advise having a spare one of these toys on hand — they have an impressive ability to go missing. Then, just remember to watch out for kitties racing across the floor during mealtime.
Pros: Increases exercise and slows ingestion, BPA-free plastic and dishwasher-safe, holds 2/3 cup of dry food
Cons: Only suitable for use with dry food or toys, will crack if you accidentally step on it
