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.

Oh, count me in, or should I say, count my cat Simba in! What a great idea and hours of fun! Thanks for the great giveaway!

My four girls would probably fight over these! But wait, there’s four rollers in each package so they wouldn’t have to fight! One for each!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:19 am
My two boys would love these! Endless hours of entertainment… and treats…
October 27th, 2010 at 10:19 am
My cats beg for treats before I walk out the door every morning. It would be great to put these out before I leave for work and let them have at it all day.
October 27th, 2010 at 10:20 am
My kitties would absolutely love these toys!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:20 am
A combination of all the things my cats love: treats, catnip, playing, and cardboard! Why on earth do cats love cardboard so much??
October 27th, 2010 at 10:20 am
These cardboard rollers are awesome. I know how much cats love cardboard. I think these are a great idea!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:21 am
These are awesome! I think this is a great present for any cat owner this coming holiday season…they get the fun of putting it together and watching their cats play.
love it!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:24 am
Cool looking product. Our 2 boys (one of which looks exactly like the gray kitty in the above photos!) would love these and our girl cat needs the exercise!!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:24 am
These are adorable!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:24 am
OH! My cat Lucy would LOVE these!! We’ve been weaning her off treats bc she begs for them constantly; we’re about to have twins, so we know we can’t keep accommodating her desires for long. This would be great b/c she could get some exercise (which she needs as an indoor only kitty) AND get her beloved treats! Awesome!!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:27 am
I can’t wait to try these!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:27 am
Ando is a clever kitty! Mimi Cat loves to experiment with new objects, like Ando seems to do–it will be fun to see her puzzling out this treat roller.
October 27th, 2010 at 10:28 am
Great idea! I think once two of my kitties (Jasper & Gizmo) found out there were treats in there, they would learn how to hold onto the toy an shake it until everything fell out!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:28 am
These are so cool, love ‘em!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:28 am
Those are the same treats my cats go nuts for! They like the Milk flavored ones the best. Thanks for sharing a great product!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:28 am
my two girls would just love these, I can see them flinging them and batting and resting it on their tummy’s wrestling with
October 27th, 2010 at 10:28 am
My kitty would love this, even without the treats inside!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:29 am
Well, mine would have more than 1 treat because she LOVES biting into cardboard!
She would love these – thanks for another great giveaway….
October 27th, 2010 at 10:29 am
Kitty energy sapper! yay!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:29 am

October 27th, 2010 at 10:30 am
What a wonderful idea! Exercise and treats all at the same time! I have a couple of heifers who would really benefits from these.
October 27th, 2010 at 10:30 am
Minou LOVES cardboard… I think she is more likely to gnaw on the cardboard even though she loves treats almost as much!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:30 am
A great novel idea — play toy rewards kitty workout!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:31 am
These would entertain us both, I’m sure!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:31 am
These are AMAZING!!! One of my two kittens are lazy so this would be a great toy to keep her moving!!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:33 am
I’m sure that Shackleford and Blue would love to investigate this item. I enjoyed seeing the video of 5 cats checking out the “Amazing Treat Machine.” It could be entertaining for the whole household.
October 27th, 2010 at 10:33 am
OMG, this is such a great idea! I would like to have one for my kitty!!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:33 am
What a great toy, Miss Maizey May would love it as playing and eating are her favorite things to do!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:34 am
What a neat idea….kitties love to claw cardboard and roll around. I can see my new kitty with these now!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:34 am
How Cute – I am sure that my three cats would be playing with them every chance they could.
October 27th, 2010 at 10:34 am
yay! my cat would eat the cardboard too.
October 27th, 2010 at 10:34 am
i like that they’re biodegradable! dang, a treat-toy made out of cardboard. super sweet!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:34 am
Too fun. Mine would be at it for hours. She’s a catnip junkie.
October 27th, 2010 at 10:35 am
So cute. I think my two kitties would love these. They absolutely love their treats and a toy to play with too! Thanks!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:36 am
LOL – I loved the video!! My Rascal would be the treat thief. Looks like a fun toy!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:36 am
These are awesome! I’ve actually been looking for treat dispensing toys and haven’t been able to find any at my local pet stores. My kitty Solo would have a blast with the amazing treat machine rollers!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:36 am
our uncle fred the cat will love this!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:37 am
Our cats love cardboard anything and treats – these would be a huge hit!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:38 am
my kitties would love these! what a great idea.
October 27th, 2010 at 10:38 am
LOL! You’re right, total treat thief! These look like fun, though I don’t know if my cats would fall for it. They’re too used to making sure I stick to the regularly scheduled snack time.
October 27th, 2010 at 10:38 am
cardboard always wins! the kitties will love it
October 27th, 2010 at 10:38 am
So cool!! My Jack wouldlove it!!! =)
October 27th, 2010 at 10:40 am
Genius! I’ve seen these type of toys for dogs but not cats. I know a Siamese that will dismantle these toys to figure out how they manage to dispense treats. Better that than having her rearrange my furniture….
October 27th, 2010 at 10:40 am
My cat is always looking for something new to do !
October 27th, 2010 at 10:41 am
Haha….he is such a treat thief! Too funny.
October 27th, 2010 at 10:41 am
my cats (fosters and personal cats) are all treat addicts! this would just make their addiction more fun to watch
October 27th, 2010 at 10:41 am
So clever. My kitty girls would have a great time with this.
October 27th, 2010 at 10:42 am
These are absolutely fab!! Our cats will go totally crazy! Make that crazier than they already are around catnip!
