I bought one of these years ago for a friend's older cat, who refused to use it. However I bought another for my kittens recently, they picked it up right away and both love it. It slows down their eating, and turns what is usually a mindless activity into enrichment. Absolutely no downsides to this product.

Had this for a couple of weeks now. 2 of our 3 cats use it regularly, even when they have a bowl of food available. It has helped with the food gorging. We did start off by only putting a couple of treats in wtihout the cups, then switched over to cat food. The one cat (the one who over-eats) does like to roll the cups around on the floor so we also put some of his food into a cup, put it on the floor, and let him roll the cups around until the food comes out. The third cat isn't interested in it at all, but he isn't an overeater. I think if he were hungry, he would use it too.

I purchased this because my adopted kitten tends to overeat, a lot. After being spayed, she really gained a lot of weight very quickly. With the Catit Senses 2.0 Cat Digger Toy, I find that her starting to eat less. I measure her food, according to the kibble feeding direction for her size and divvy it up between the tubes. Since everything is a game to her anyway, this is a natural way to slow down her eating. She still can eat as much as she wants, I measured before too, but now, since she has to “work” for her food, it gives her body time to catch up to her quick eating and she realizes she’s full. It’s only been a few days, but I can already see that it’s working and she’s actually having fun, playing with her food, while eating. I love this product!
