    Instructions

    Things You'll Need

    • Plastic snap-together Easter eggs in assorted colors.
    • Crunchy cat treats
      • 1

        Pop open a colored eggs and place five to six crunchy cat treats inside.

      • 2

        Close the plastic egg and shake it a bit to get kitty interested.

      • 3

        Roll the egg across the floor away from your cat. The shape of the egg will make it roll in what may appear to be a strange fashion to your cat, who will probably go after it.

      • 4

        If your cat manages to break the egg apart, it will get to enjoy the kitty treats. Just refill it and roll it toward your cat again.

    Tips & Warnings

    • If you do not have cat treats, include pieces of your cat's dry cat food.

    • Never put anything inside the egg that could potentially poison or choke your cat.

      I love it and sure our cats will too! We have five that love to bat super balls around. I never thought about the easter eggs. They hide the superballs so I imagine the easter eggs will be a little harder to hide. Thanks!
