Benefits
- Promotes Physical Exercise: It gets cats moving more since the rolling, random movement makes them chase and bat at it.

How to Use
Usage Instructions
- Fill with Treats: Twist the ball apart at its center seam, add your cat's favorite dry treats or kibble inside, and twist the two halves back together securely before placing it on the floor.
- Introduce Gently: For first-time users, start with easy-to-dispense, smaller treats so your cat builds a positive association with the toy quickly and without frustration.
- Place on Hard Floors: The ball rolls best on hard or low-pile surfaces, allowing it to move unpredictably and keep your cat actively chasing for longer play sessions.
- Encourage Active Play: Roll or push the ball gently in front of your cat to demonstrate how treats come out, motivating your cat to bat and chase it on their own.

For eligible international orders, applicable import duties and taxes are calculated and collected at checkout where required. When these charges apply, the order is shipped on a duties-and-taxes-paid basis so that the same import charges should not be collected again at delivery.

5. Tracking
When tracking is available, you will receive shipment confirmation with tracking information after the order has shipped. Please allow up to 48 hours for tracking information to become active after the carrier receives the shipment.

Please review your shipping address carefully before submitting an order. If you notice an address error, contact us as soon as possible. We will try to help before shipment, but an address change cannot be guaranteed once fulfillment or carrier processing has begun.
Additional carrier or re-delivery charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.
7. Delayed or Lost Shipments
If your shipment has not arrived within the estimated delivery timeframe, please contact us. We will review the tracking information, work with the carrier when necessary, and assist with an appropriate resolution based on the circumstances.
