Let’s face it: sometimes our pets do gain weight–too much weight. Just as in people, obesity in pets takes years off their lives. Anything an owner can do to help slim down Fluffy will add years to their time together. Enter Slim Cat.
Slim Cat is a unique toy/feeder that not only encourages weight loss by play, but also stimulates your cat mentally. It challenges your cat. The concept behind it is simple. Fill the ball with a bit of your pet’s dry kibble. When your cat scoots the ball around, food drops out. The more play, the more Fluffy is rewarded with more food.
Of course, there is a learning curve. At first, the holes can be set to the large size to give your cat time to figure out what the ball does. Once your cat has mastered it, you can make it more difficult by decreasing the hole size and thereby increasing your cat’s activity to get rewarded.
We tried this with Sophie. She caught on fairly quickly to the concept. We feed her both dry and canned food. The dry goes in the ball. She pushes it around, claiming her reward. I think she prefers snacking throughout the day. From an owner’s perspective, I must all tell you that it is a bit messy though Sophie is getting better about cleaning up after herself. This is one toy I know she won’t get bored with.
