Where do you put the treats in?

Sprinkle the treats on top, and they kinds filter down through the levels. It usually gives you an even distribution.

Is this a good way to feed a cat that eats too fast?

I personally would not recommend this for everyday feeding, it's moreso meant for supplemental enrichment. You can put treats or even pieces of dry food in here, but for every day feeding I would recommend a slow feeder bowl. This way your cat will still be forced to eat slowly and then you can periodically set this up on the side as a mental exercise. Eating too fast can be a health risk (especially if it induces vomiting) and comes from the cat's ability to self-regulate. This is a easily fixable issue with the slow feeder and not something you can necessarily "train out of them." Hope this helps! <3

Is this not just a cardboard box with holes in it?

There are two levels inside and three more cardboard boxes inside with holes in them, two on the upper level and one on the lower level. You can "hide" the treats inside the interior boxes, and the cat has to find them and then figure out how to get them out. You could certainly make this puzzle box yourself if you're that kind of engineering and artistically inclined.

When I put dry food/treats inside non-washable feeders they get funky and gross. How does this hold up to the oily stains of dry food/treats?

Well, it IS only cardboard. Outside, the boxes have a glossy finish, but inside they are plain, uncoated cardboard. Mine hasn't gotten stinky even after all this time, though. I mostly use chunks of freeze-dried tuna with it, but I do sometimes use crunchy treats (which are oily). My cat is such an expert at this by now that the treats don't stay in there very long; maybe that's why.
