5 Stars
Pink is the winner.
Based on the good reviews here and the setting-locking feature on this ball I decided to give this one a try over the others and I am so glad I did! It is very easy to fill, lock on the difficulty setting and clean.I also went to check out videos of the ball in action over on YouTube to get a feel for how different cats might take to it so I knew what to expect when sitting with them to train them how it works. I have observed that if they are accustomed to going directly to a food bowl for the kibble, even the smartest cats have to resign to understand that the new program is they have to work for the food and get used to it. It does take some time and patience.I have two cats. I bought a green ball first for my 3.5 year old to test out since she likes to graze on the dry food a little more often than the other. She eats too fast so this slows her down a bit. She is using it in the easiest setting at the moment, pushing the ball with her nose to dispense the food, but she is using it! At first she wanted me to keep pushing the ball to let the food out for her. Sometimes if she pushed it and nothing came out right away she would think there was no food and stopped trying, but by day 2 while I wasn't looking she emptied the ball on her own. I expect her to use her paws more often as I increase the difficulty from easiest to more challenging.I purchased a second ball so each cat would have one. The second ball is in the color pink (photos uploaded) and I like this one much better for starting out. We (the cats and myself) are able to see there is food in there and how much. My two are more likely to sniff for the food in it if they can see there is something in it first. I believe my 1.5 year old who just started on the ball prefers the pink colored one for that reason. She is also pushing with her nose but with much less hesitation after watching the other cat for two days.I would definitely recommend this ball to my cat-keeping friends! I love the concept, the features and the price of it. Now if they would just make a clear colored one!----Update----My oldest cat who uses the distributor balls most often has already slowed down with eating her wet food after having to take more time to eat from the ball with the dry!Also, originally I had set this on the natural tile floor in the kitchen and I have found that even on the easiest setting when the cats work to push the ball it will skid instead of roll; not allowing the food to dispense. I have since had to place the balls onto some sort of cloth or rug to make sure they understand that the ball WILL dispense their food for them. (I am using an old 6 foot table runner in one room and an old large pillow case in another. Good but still not great.) I find it works best on my short pile rug in the living room but prefer for them to not eat off of the rug in a high foot-traffic area. I will end up getting them their own rug in the kitchen for the balls so their feeding time is a challenging experience and not a stressful one.Still very happy with the purchase overall.
