I’m absolutely fascinated by cardboard design and these new toys are one of the coolest designs I’ve seen. The Amazing Treat Machine Rollers are little cardboard toys that you put together from pre-punched cardboard. Each one holds a catnip packet (comes with the toys) and has a compartment for placing treats. When the toys roll across the floor, the treats fall out, enticing kitty to keep playing (at least until all the treats are gone).
The rollers come in a set of four in a cool little box that would make a great gift for any cat lover. You punch out the pieces and assemble the rollers. The design is truly brilliant and the instructions are pretty easy to follow. There’s even a video showing you how to assemble the rollers.
They sent us some rollers to test out and the cats like them as much as I do. Ando and Theo were the first to give them a sniff:
Then I made this little video. As you can see, Ando is the worst treat thief ever! I didn’t realize just how bad he is until I saw all the clips of him stealing treats. He’s terrible! And, yes, he did throw up promptly after making the video. Too many treats. (If you can’t see the video below in your email, click here to watch it on the site.)
The Amazing Treat Machine Rollers are $9.95 for a set of four and can be purchased online at AmazingTreatMachine.com or at Amazon.

Not only a creative treat toy, it’s also a crunchy toy to fang in its own right…says Thor the Cat.

October 27th, 2010 at 3:59 pm
Those are too cool – I bet my kitty would love playing with the roller to get a treat!
October 27th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
That cat stealing all the treats cracks me up.
October 27th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
Cardboard, catnip and cookies – cat heaven.
October 27th, 2010 at 4:03 pm
Great video! My cats need these for their “treatie time”, which is 7pm EVERY evening.
October 27th, 2010 at 4:04 pm
My cat goes nuts for cardboard and of course, if it’s a small card board toy, she will likely bat that thing around for hours on end… up the stairs, down the stairs, across the dining room table, and repeat. Fabulous kitty toy.
October 27th, 2010 at 4:06 pm
What fun we will have rolling these around!
October 27th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
How cool is that…and the cats appear fascinated. I know my four rescues would get a kick out of one….
October 27th, 2010 at 4:11 pm
YES my cats would go CRAZY over this!
October 27th, 2010 at 4:11 pm
These are fantastic. They look like they were designed with one of my cats in mind.
She can’t wait to play with’em.
October 27th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
Very clever!
October 27th, 2010 at 4:21 pm

October 27th, 2010 at 4:21 pm
These are great!! I know my cat would have a ball with these…
October 27th, 2010 at 4:23 pm
I love the design. I’m sure my cat Nacho would love ‘em too.
October 27th, 2010 at 4:30 pm
What fun! These would be shredded quickly, but enjoyed thoroughly!
October 27th, 2010 at 4:31 pm
Ha! Ando is like my little black piggy, Gryphon (who would enjoy these so he could steal food from his brother).
October 27th, 2010 at 4:31 pm
Great idea. Now, maybe my girl can get her share and her “big” brother would have to work for his! Like I do.
October 27th, 2010 at 4:34 pm
Love them!!!! congrats!!! Umma My white cat will love them!!!
October 27th, 2010 at 4:35 pm
Go Ando! We kitties are just like you! We would play ALL day for kitty treats!
October 27th, 2010 at 4:38 pm
love! especially since my dog at the plastic treat toy my kitties used to have
October 27th, 2010 at 4:42 pm
The kittyboys are treat pigs, and at least they would have to work for the treats.
October 27th, 2010 at 4:55 pm
My new kitten will love these. Glad I found this amazing site.
October 27th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
Some of our crew are real treat hogs so these would be a hit around here.
October 27th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
Those look cool- but I wonder if Tikka the polydactyl cat will just cheat, like she does with every other toy I have given her. She just picks it up with her nearly opposible thumb and shakes until the treats fall out.
Still fun to watch!
October 27th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
Fantastic! My girls can’t have treats but I bet it would work with kibble too!
October 27th, 2010 at 5:04 pm
your video is hilarious. my kitty looks like ando and i can totally imagine her being a little treat thief too.
October 27th, 2010 at 5:15 pm
Awesome!! my cats would have a blast with these! And I think I would be quite entertained watching them!
October 27th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
What fun and “green” too!
October 27th, 2010 at 5:28 pm
These are awesome. This toy would keep our young cat from bugging the old lady for hours!
October 27th, 2010 at 5:38 pm
This will be perfect for Grendel Marie! Now that I had to close up access to the porch for the winter, she needs an outlet for her excess energy!
October 27th, 2010 at 5:41 pm
This is the best, my cat is always hungry and bored, so this will be perfect.
October 27th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
Kitty says – “I hope I win.”
October 27th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
Absolutely love your “Amazing Treat Machine”. We have 7 rescue kitties and they would adore these new toys!
Gratefully Yours
