    Anyone else try one of these?

    We got one for out cats for times we are away for short periods but our (not very bright) ginger boy took about 30 seconds to work out that if he got his paw right up the shoot, he could get a few biscuits out at a time.
    I wonder was this machine product tested on cats at all??

    I always imagine that a group of engineers dream up these things figuring animals don't have a lot of problem solving intellegence :D

    I had the same thing with one of my dogs and a fly ball machine. She figured she could just go behind the machine and grab a spare ball out of it instead of having to bother triggering the mechanism and catching the balls! :D Made me unpopular in the flyball training :o

    I used one with a lid that would raise up at a set time. My cat figured out how to stick her paw in and then her head and get the thing open. Might as well have just left extra food in her bowl!
