FAQs
Can I use wet food in the SlimCat?
No, the SlimCat is designed specifically for dry kibble. Wet food will clog the mechanism and is difficult to clean.
Is this toy dishwasher safe?
Yes, you can place it on the top rack of your dishwasher for easy cleaning.
Will this work on thick carpet?
The SlimCat performs best on hard floors or low-pile rugs. Thick carpet may prevent the ball from rolling easily.
What is the maximum amount of food it holds?
The SlimCat has a capacity of up to 150g of dry kibble.
Is it suitable for kittens?
Yes, it is suitable for cats of all sizes, though you may need to assist kittens initially so they understand how to use it.
Troubleshooting
Kibble is not coming out during play
Check if the kibble size is too large for the current opening setting or if the food is jammed; shake the ball to clear the passage.
The ball is too difficult for my cat to figure out
Start with the holes set to the widest position to ensure an immediate reward for every swipe, then narrow the holes as they gain confidence.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the feeder, simply unscrew the two halves of the ball, fill it with your cat's favorite dry kibble, and twist it back together until secure. To adjust the hole size, rotate the collar to align with the desired opening.
For care, the SlimCat is top-rack dishwasher safe. Regularly inspect the plastic for any cracks after heavy use to ensure your cat's safety. Ensure you are using kibble that is small enough to pass through the adjustable openings to prevent clogs.
