When I fill the ball with delicious things, then so is also played diligently .. well, as long as the treats are also in there .. Unfortunately, my cat gets the always too quickly out again, so that the pleasure lasts only a few minutes. But the ball is great even for cats employment, I have 4 cats and 3 of them always fighting over ball, so I'll have to get another 2. Only a (small British Healing, which by nature are very quiet and slow when not necessary is) cat cares about but that does not play too big probably for you.
