For cats who need more stimulation than a basic treat ball can offer, the RuiDay Cat Ball Feeder is a step up. It combines slow feeding with sound cues — a cheerful bird-like tweet whenever it’s moved — tapping into your cat’s predatory instincts.
At KK HQ, Wilfred loves it. It’s a bit trickier than the Catit ball, so it keeps him occupied longer and gives him a satisfying “hunt” before the reward. Billy, meanwhile, prefers the simpler option.
Using the RuiDay Feeder
The top screws off to reveal a wide opening for filling — much easier than some other designs. The adjustable dispensing hole has two size settings, so you can match it to your cat’s kibble or treats. The tweeting sound is optional via a small switch, and the battery is securely stored behind a screw-fastened cover.
Like all puzzle feeders, this one works best when cats are slightly hungry and motivated to “hunt” for food. It’s ideal for tackling common causes of fast eating such as boredom, food competition, and over-enthusiasm. The movement is slightly more circular than random due to its shape, but the sound element keeps interest high.
Cleaning & Maintenance
The detachable top makes cleaning easier than closed-design feeders. The ABS plastic is safe to wash by hand with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. As with any food-dispensing toy, regular cleaning is key to keeping it hygienic.
