Thank you for visiting us. This page introduces you to the idea of letting your cat play with her food. The rest of the site and the sites we link to will educate you about feline obesity, what causes it, and how it contributes to many other health problems. We will also tell you what you can do to avoid or reduce feline obesity. By making sure your cat gets exercise and eats a healthy diet, you and your vet can ensure her the longest and healthiest life possible. Whether your cat is fat, bored, lethargic, needs mental stimulation, or just loves fun toys she will love my Feeding Frenzy toy. Please take a second to see the SLIDE SHOW below. Double click on it to see the VIDEO of the Feeding Frenzy in action. It is an adjustable rolling cat food and treat dispenser that doesn't drop crumbs but does keep your kitty busy and stimulated for minutes or hours - you decide.
What's Wrong with a Tubby Tabby?

PhatCat Toys will teach you how to take care of your cat's diet and exercise needs which is important for many reasons ultimately leading to a longer, more comfortable life. 50% of America's cats are overweight, with 40% of them being obese (at least 15% higher than ideal body weight). Some cats are not overweight but they just sit around all day with no spark of activity except to get up and eat, drink,...etc. Within our pages you will find information on how to tell if your cat's weight is just right, a little heavy, obese, or even too skinny. PhatCat Toys and our links (many at the bottom of the appropriate pages) will hopefully enlighten you on how you can improve the quality of your cat's life if you take a common sense approach to feeding and playing with her. Being a responsible pet owner is important to many people, many of whom love their pets and want them to live for ever. Our goal is to show you how obesity can lead to a multitude of problems that never have to happen if our pets get a good diet and some exercise, sometimes at the same time. |

You may notice that as people are getting fatter, so are our pets. As we accept larger versions of ourselves, we have come to see our tubby tabbies as normal. Vets have noticed this too. The fact is that obesity causes many of the same (and other) problems in our cats as it does in us, but unlike us the cats don't know any better and they tend to eat if food is available. Because your cat's world revolves around you (sometimes you wouldn't think so!) your tubby tabby is probably all your doing, and it's your job to help them live the healthiest, longest life possible. In addition to informing and educating you on Feline Obesity, Phatcat Toys would like this opportunity to show you our Feeding Frenzy Toy which will entertain your cat endlessly and stimulate her every sense. The Feeing Frenzy is a food and treat dispenser that measures out edibles as your kitty pushes and kicks it around the room. I say 'measures out' because YOU get to set the speed at which the toy dispenses its goods.
YOU set the infinitely adjustable dispensing hole on the side of the toy with a simple turn of the black cap (above), deciding whether it takes minutes or hours for your cat to eat her meal. This way your cat can play with her food, as she was meant to in nature, using this toy to satisfy her wild side. It encourages any cat to work for her food, because when you think about it, animals' bodies have evolved to thrive when meals are associated with some sort of calorie burning hunting or gathering activity. Wonder why humans are getting fatter? - The way we hunt for food is sometimes only at the supermarket. Whether you buy our toy or not, please stay a while and look around. There are a lot of pointersand much advice on FELINE OBESITY and its complications, as well as DIET and EXERCISE tips that will be useful to any cat. There are also many links in the margins and bodies of the pages to other sites with appropriate information. Please take time to learn about and take care of your cat's health needs because if you don't no one will.
