Kong Cat Wobbler Treat Dispensing Toy Review

KONG Cat Wobbler it’s a treat dispenser toy that provides your cat mental and physical stimulation during treat or meal time. With its wobbling action, the KONG Cat Wobbler gives your cat fun playtime with yummy rewards by dispensing small treats as your cat wobbles the toy over.

TIPS & TRICKS

• Don’t feed your cat other than with the toy, this way your feline friend will be hungry enough to make him play with the Kong Wobbler to get the food from it.
• If your cat is having trouble getting the hang of this toy you can try filling up the Kong more (about half full) as the pellets or treats will fall out more easily that way.
• If you want to increase the challenge of the Kong Wobbler or if you want your cat to eat its meal more slowly, you can tape the opening half way so it will release less pieces at a time.
• The Kong Cat Wobbler is made of hard acrylic and it doesn’t bounce so if the toy falls from the table to a hard floor, it may crack.

CONCLUSION

The Kong Wobbler treat toy dispenser will work great or it will be a fail depending on your cat. All cat treat dispensers toys work the same way; some cats love the toys while others hate them.

The Kong Wobbler toy requires a learning curve from your cat to get the hung of it. In this learning process your cat will need some input from you, which is not a bad thing. Encouraging your feline will establish a closer relationship between you and your cat. However, some cats can learn right away.

BOTTOM LINE

The Kong Cat Wobbler demands determination from the cat. If your cat is not very food oriented, it may get frustrated easily with this toy because the treats don’t come out that easily. Also, if your cat is a beginner when it comes to treat toy dispensers, you may want to start with a less challenging toy. Once your feline friend masters the techniques how to get treats from different toys, you can get this one. As a bottom line,

X I would not recommend this toy for:

• Small kitties
• Cats that are not aggressive to get food
