Abstract
A feeding system and methods for feeding cats is disclosed. The system includes a package holding plural feeding devices. Each feeding device is made up of a hollow container configured to dispense a portion of the daily ration of a cat's dry cat food therefrom. Each feeding device has an internal cavity bounded by an arcuate external surface that provides the appearance of a creature that constitutes prey of a feral cat. The container has an outlet port configured to enable a portion of the cat food to gradually exit from outlet port when the container is rolled on a surface by the cat playing with the feeding device. The feeding system may include a plurality of feeding devices packaged together.
