E Instructions
General information:
1. Play this game together with your cat and place it
somewhere, where your cat feels undisturbed.
2. Start when your cat is awake and in playing mood,
1 ½ hours after feeding at the earliest. You can
also use the normal dry feed instead of treats as an
alternative.
3. Sit down beside your cat and watch her unobtrusi-
vely and quietly without staring at her.
4. To motivate your cat, choose treats she specially
likes to begin with, and place these in the game in
her presence.
5. Help your cat with the task at the beginning to
keep her motivated. It is important for your cat to
be successful fairly quickly so that she connects
positive feelings to the game.
6. In case your cat does not achieve a subgoal after
several tries, help her or repeat a task she can do
well and train in smaller steps. Try to motivate
your cat with praise. There should never be
scolding or punishment.
7. Train in small units (max. 10 minutes) and with
small goals. Several training units during the day
provide a lot of small successes and prevent
excessive demand on your cat.
Important notice: Cats react very differently to
new toys. Some are very motivated to play right
from the start while others have to get used to
new things first. They start by ignoring the new toy
but later they play with it excitedly. In addition to
that, there are cats that like to concentrate on a
game for a longer time, while others prefer to play
for a short while only but more often. Whichever
way your cat chooses, give her time to play the
game as she likes to do it.
Have lots of fun and success with your cat!

The training can begin
The first step is to make your cat feel sure that the
game is a guarantee for a tasty surprise. Therefore,
first spread a few treats on the game board and let
your cat eat them. Once your cat looks on
expectantly when you prepare the game, you can
begin to fill the game elements with treats.
a. Fill the drum in the presence of your cat.
b. To make it easier for your cat to start with, adjust
the inner cylinder to the largest hole size.
c. Show your cat how treats fall out when the drum
is turned and encourage her to turn the drum
herself. Your cat will then try to turn the drum
with her paw.
d. Practise the turning motion with your cat and
make sure she does not try to push away the drum,
but rather understands that treats fall out when
the drum is turning.
Tip
Should your cat not like any treats or toys you
might make the Snack Roll interesting with the
help of e. g. blades of cat grass. Make a knot into it
and cut off the overlaying grass. Dispense several
fresh grass knots on the Snack Roll.
Supervise your pet while playing.
