Pierre: Oh, that smells good!
Newton: Don’t worry, I’ve got this. Those treats will be out of there in no time.
Pierre: Go! Go! Go! I don’t see any treats falling out yet.
Newton: Give me a minute here. It’s going to happen: treats everywhere.
Ashton: Did someone say treats everywhere?
Pierre: Newt is going to get the treats out of the dispensing ball for us. He’s being a little slow about it, though.
Newton: I don’t see YOU being a lot of help. Why don’t you go watch a bird or something? I’ll tell you when it’s ready.
Ashton: You can’t fool me. I’m keeping my eye on you and those treats. I can smell them all the way over here.
Newton: You’re supposed to be on a diet, remember? I’m pretty sure that Cat Watchers says you can’t eat treats between meals.
Pierre: Did you get a treat out? Are you eating without sharing? Newton!
Ashton: I’m watching. He’s just faking it.
Pierre: Faking treats?
Newton: It’s so embarrassing to not be able to get any treats out of there. Something must be wrong with this toy. One of you can try it.
It’s true! We finally found a treat dispensing toy Newton couldn’t immediately conquer. He actually gave up without getting any treats out of it, much to Ashton and Pierre’s frustration, since Newton is the designated dispenser operator. We have shown photos in the past of how he has gone as far as breaking open treat dispensing toys to get at their contents, so the humans are pretty excited about this find, even if the cats would like something with easier treat access.

That’s pretty amazing… although I bet it’s not Binga proof!
Wow, that looks like a tough one! We got a difficult one recently too. I modified it because they were giving up on it. I figure what good is it if they never get the prize? We’ll be posting about ours before long, probably this week. I hope your kitties eventually got some!
A treat dispensing toy? Isn’t that what our Mom is?

Don’t worry Newton, I’m sure you will figure it out eventually!
Put your heads together and work out how to break into that stingy toy and eat all the treats.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
I’m sure Newton will soon figure out how to take the treats out! I should also get a more challenging treat dispenser. My cat totally mastered the art of taking treats out from the one I have 🙂
dang….that seems a little unfair 🙂
That just looks like torture!!!
Ummmm I’m wondering if you whack it hard so it hits the wall if all the treats will come spilling out? MOL
Hugs madi your bfff
I got this same treat dispenser for my three cats, and they actually lost interest pretty quickly. I think it’s TOO hard for them to get any treats out.
I stick with the human as my treat dispenser. They have tried to get me toys to get treats from, but I see no point in working for my food. MOL
Whoa, a treat dispenser Newton couldn’t conquer?! Jewel was really smart and could figure out treat puzzles really fast. I got a treat dispenser for Lita, and she just looked at me like I was nuts, MOL.
That would piss off Emma and Buster; they don’t like working for their treats 🙂
Poor Newton must be very frustrated.
guys….that must be a trix dizpenzer…..
tell yur mom & dad itz KNOT april foolz yet….
♥♥♥
Jack would just take that thing over to the stairs and throw it down
That’s not fair Newton, those treats are supposed to fall out!
That dispenser must be defective!
How frustrating ! Don’t you have any stairs in the house to help you to open that treats dispenser ? Purrs
That must be frustrating to not get that toy open. Especially with everyone watching you, nothing like peer pressure! – Katie and Sneakers
What kind of sadistic “toy” is this?
My Sister Gracie needs one of those MOL!
But if nothing comes out, it just becomes a frustrating rattly toy.
We hafta say that we prefer our simple “egg”. It releases a few treats with some effort and it keeps us busy fer 10-15 minutes. A harder one would be a bit frustrating…
We are reading backwards, and think it was great that the girl in the house had to show the boys how to do it. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Those treat spectators crack me up. Why do all the work when you can just sweep in and run away with the awards, right?

These toys never worked with my cat. She would just walk over to me and say, ‘get me a treat.’
