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.

What a cute idea. Gizmo would love it!
October 27th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Yes please, my baby would love one.
October 27th, 2010 at 8:50 pm
My cats will love these – even the lazy one!
October 27th, 2010 at 9:00 pm
Maybe these would help my 3 kitties to bond a bit more!
October 27th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
These are something that I would like to try with my cats. Would be interesting to watch them and see who gets what.
October 27th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
Great idea, making the treat machines out of cardboard. Makes them cost effective. My cats would love them, and would get some exercise in the process of “recycling” them!
October 27th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
I like trying new things with my cats. They go wild for catnip. Send them our way.
October 27th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
My two would love this.
October 27th, 2010 at 9:07 pm
This could be the incentive to get our cats to play a little.
October 27th, 2010 at 9:15 pm
looks like fun for all–great holiday treats for all of my kitties’ friends.
October 27th, 2010 at 9:30 pm
Sounds like something my 7 kitties might like to try!
October 27th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
What a smart invention….the cats will love it! Where can we buy it if my 3 cats don’t win it?
October 27th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
Awesome idea! Cardboard which my kitty loves and treats too!
October 27th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
This looks like such a nifty idea! I also love cardboard designed cat toys. You can recycle afterwards too!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
Looks cool… I bet my cat would also eat too many and throw up.
October 27th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
I tried to make something like this for my kitty by gluing yogurt containers together and cutting holes in them. This is definitely an upgrade, design wise!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:30 pm
These are the best as it keeps your kitty active getting their treats! I try to throw the treats for my cats so they can get a little exercise for their treats! Thank you for the opportunity!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:38 pm
Interesting product. I’ve been wanting to try our some rolling toys that dispense treats.
October 27th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
Oh please please please please! This is so smart!
October 27th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Simply brilliant!
October 27th, 2010 at 11:11 pm
This looks pretty fun! I know my kitty will love it! Play+treats are the best in life!
October 27th, 2010 at 11:21 pm
Very clever-great idea!
October 27th, 2010 at 11:33 pm
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!
October 27th, 2010 at 11:39 pm
I love this idea! (especially since Munji’s getting a little chubbier nowadays) I wonder if this could work with regular food as well?
October 27th, 2010 at 11:46 pm
A winner is me?
October 28th, 2010 at 12:40 am
funny idea!
October 28th, 2010 at 12:47 am
What a wonderful idea for a cat toy!! My boys would love this!!
October 28th, 2010 at 12:58 am

October 28th, 2010 at 1:26 am
I’d love to try it…
October 28th, 2010 at 1:29 am
These look like much fun – my kitties will do almost anything for treats!
October 28th, 2010 at 2:01 am
That looks so fun! You’d think the ‘treat thief’ would learn his lesson after throwing up, but somehow I’d be surprised if he did;)
October 28th, 2010 at 2:35 am
I just added these to the wishlist for my cats. Yes, they have their own wishlist.
October 28th, 2010 at 3:17 am
I am so excited about these – most of the treat dispensers I find are really made for dogs, but not this one! Also, I love that these are made out of cardboard because my cats love to chew on cardboard. And a package of four is perfect because I have four cats!
October 28th, 2010 at 3:18 am
how cute! i just rescued a new little black kitten and she loves to play and loves to eat…this is exactly her kind of toy!
October 28th, 2010 at 3:22 am
My family would just love these. Thanks
October 28th, 2010 at 3:25 am
How cute!
October 28th, 2010 at 3:37 am
My kitties would love these!!
October 28th, 2010 at 3:56 am
Stanley and Ollie would sure love to try their luck at these. I have some homegrown catnip that I just harvested and I can only imagine the fun they would have….
October 28th, 2010 at 4:25 am
I think Salem would eat the cardboard.
October 28th, 2010 at 4:45 am
What a nea little idea. Vincent Morgan loves catnip and this would be perfect for him. Hope he is one of the lucky winners!
October 28th, 2010 at 4:57 am
so cool and can be recycled
love cardboard
October 28th, 2010 at 5:12 am
These look great! We’ve just moved house and our two cats are stuck inside for the next few weeks, these would be perfect to keep them busy!
October 28th, 2010 at 5:25 am
Very cool!
October 28th, 2010 at 5:25 am
Boom!
October 28th, 2010 at 5:44 am
Spike & Buff would love to play with these.
October 28th, 2010 at 5:58 am
Cool idea! I can’t believe how calm your kitties are about this – mine would be bonkers batting the roller across the room to get the treats as fast as possible. (She’s highly motivated by food.)
October 28th, 2010 at 5:59 am
Gracie loves cardboard, she would have a ball with these.
October 28th, 2010 at 6:03 am
Very Smart Idea ! Fun for us too when we watch our cats play with such shapes.
October 28th, 2010 at 6:15 am
Some of the simplest toys are my cats’ favorites. Already on my holiday list
October 28th, 2010 at 6:27 am
Ooh, ooh, me!
