Every so often my human tortures Binga, although she calls it “exercise.”
She takes this contraption and puts a couple of treats in it, then lets Binga figure out how to get them! This time it is a couple of Greenies — can you see them in the lower left hand side of the toy?
Then she lets Binga try to figure out how to get them.
Can you see Boodie’s silent commentary in the background?
My human even shot about a minute and a half of video footage — and Binga did not take a break!
If you can’t see the above video, click here to watch it on YouTube!
But persistence… and a little outside-the-box thinking pays off.

MOWZERS, ALlie would LOVE it if we got one of those for Faraday. Idle paws make for PESKY little brothers.
That would be perfect for my Oreo. He needs exercise and the treats would be a much better motivator than the red dot.
Wow all that work for two treats?!
Binga is cute and very persistent indeed. A very interesting toy!
Never, ever get between a tortie and her treats. Shudder.
😀 YEAH GO Binga – pure Tortitude and determination!!
I need to get two of those. One for Glogirly and one for Gloman.

(PAWSOME video action!!!)
Wow–she’s determined. Myself, I could not be less interested in treats. Go figure.
I didn’t think that torture was funny but TW was laughing at the video. She sez “scrubbies” always make her laugh.
Binga, you must really like those treats. I’d let them sit there until mom got tired of the toy sitting on the floor and she’d free the treats for me.
Have you ever considered playing the drums? I think you have excellent technique and would be very good at it.
That IS a torture device! Couldn’t you just chew it?? But we are glad Binga got her treats. We wonder if the kitties here would like that toy.
mol! we love Binga’s “machine paws” 😀 we would have given up…
Pip, Smidgen, Minnie, HOllie
BINGA! What a GIRL you are!!! But as a Tortie you are extra extra smart!!!
You were very persistent Binga. I would have given up much more quickly and gone and caught a mouse.
Binga was very interested in those treats….Boodie not so much!!
We would like one of those too. Well….not really…we just want the bag of treats but Mom thinks
we could use the exercise!

Binga worked really hard for those treats. So cute.
Oh Binga, you are such a cutie! It is awesome that catches your interest!
Binga seems as obsessed with getting at treats as I am. ~ Marley
Wow, Binga you really want those treats. Good for you. You sure tried every which a way.Good girl. Take care
That is definitely torture. We want to know how she finally got the treats out.
OMC, Binga deserves a whole bag of treats for that effort!
I love the way Boodie is just looking on, amused!! Way to go, Binga!!!
Binga was very persistent but we wonder how she got them out. All we have to do to get Greenies is look cute so we hope our mommy doesn’t get any ideas of making us work for them!
Binga, I think someone deserves a
bitelove nip for that!Ya done good Binga!!!!
Oh the torture Binga went through!!!! Poor thing must have sore muscles now!
So cute!!
Clever girl!
Bravo Binga ❗ Our Person doesn’t torture us with treats. She just puts them in small bowls on the floor 😀 She does trick us into thinking we are going to get treats sometimes when she is opening a bag of dried fruit. They sound just like the bags our treats come in 👿 Bandit, Selleck, and Their Person, Emily.
We think there would need to be more than two little treats for us to put in that much effort. Glad Binga’s persistence paid off for her. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Binga reminds me of Hunter, one of my cat housemates. He will do ANYTHING to get a treat! Meow and Namaste! ~ Pippy the Feline Yogini
BRAVO BRAVO BINGA THERE ISN’T MUCH WE WON’T DO FOR A TREAT RIGHT?
HUGS MADI YOUR BFFF
Way to go, Binga! Minchie would love to have a go with that!
She is persistent – very food motivated. Most of us would have given up!
We hope the mom doesn’t try to torture us that way! Thank cod you finally got those treats, Binga!
Our purrents would go crazy listening to that for as long as it would take us to get the treats out! By the way, we have the same pirate ship as we saw in the background of your video. Do you love yours as much as we love ours?
No you gave my mom bad ideas 🙁
She say´s that my treatball is way to easy now when she saw your video *sigh*
Binga knows noms are the most impawtant thing. Plus, we luff the way Boodie is just sitting there, watching. She’s manages to be beautiful and adorable at the same time.
How did she get it open? Binga is a smart girl. Our head peep can’t figure out how she got that ball out! She also thinks that she needs to find one of those for Ashton, who needs all the exercise she can be motivated to get.
How did Binga get the treats?!?
We wondered if Binga ever got the treats after all her effort.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Now you KNOW I’m gonna say ‘Don’t mess with Binga’ right?
BUT I’d also like to know where you got that toy! Rumblemum wants to buy something like it for us – what a weird coincidence that you posted this right when she’s looking everywhere trying to find something similar!
