TRIXIE interactive cat toy cat activity fun board, intelligence toy for cats, strategy game for mental stimulation & playful learning, 11.8 × 15.7 inches - 4590

This has been our saviour. We have 3 5-month old kittens who are into everything. We can’t eat in their presence without them trying to climb onto the plate! I was looking for something that would both entertain and feed them and limit the food for the largest of the 3, and thought I’d try this. It’s brilliant. A handful of dried kitten food and they’re entertained for a good 10-15 mins. Also the smaller (and brighter) kittens can get loads of food from the trickier bowls, and the larger (slightly less bright) kitten is limited to those areas he can work out/be bothered to try to get food from. It’s pretty heavy (I was expecting cheap plastic and it’s certainly not that) and big enough for 3 at once. No sign of it being flipped or moved. Anytime we want some peace and quiet we can pop some food in (from their daily “allowance”) and it’s all good. They’ve also been known even to leave some when they had enough so would also work for those cats who don’t know when to stop (do they do a human version!!!???) 😂 I’d highly recommend.

I'm so glad I purchased this product, it's such a great investment. The quality is much better in real life. Online it looks like white flimsy plastic, but it came as a sturdy, thick (and heavy), light grey tray. The non-slip feet are fine on my laminate flooring, but my eager cat still manages to push it along. I worried that the lack of sides would mean there would be food everywhere on the floor, but the cat won't let any food go to waste, so that's not a problem. My cat loves it! He figured it out pretty quickly, and despite being a 5kg boy, he is able to get food from all the parts. I like the diversity of this puzzle feeder - which is what made me decide to try it, even though it looked of lesser quality in the photos. It really slows down meal time and taps into that hunting instinct which is rewarded by eating. I still feed my cat his wet food in a ceramic bowl, as the puzzle would get dirty pretty quickly otherwise. But it's perfect for dry food. Overall, I'm really impressed and would highly recommend this product.

Very well made and stable for the price and a great way to keep indoor cats mentally stimulated. My only complaint is the globes along the front edge are too steep and have a slight lip on the inside which makes getting the treat out way too difficult. My cat figured out the techinques pretty quickly, he can get treats from the other parts of the board with a bit of effort, but never actually managed to get the treat out of a globe after days of trying. I had to remove the globes in the end because it was just making him frustrated and winding him up rather than burning mental energy and calming him down.

From fishing rod toys to laser pens, walk down the cat section of any store and you will note that everything is designed to promote and imitate 'natural' hunting behaviours. Why? because cats are soley motivated by food. For them, hunting releases much needed endorphins which encourage a much happier cat, and therefore a much healthier cat. Enrichment through these toys is usually a given for any cat owner, and often results in giving 'treats'. I do not condone giving treats to any cat, they are a huge cause of obesity in our pets and it is much better to instead give them part of their daily food allowance. Anyway, if food is so important to our cats, why is enrichment during feeding time so overlooked? I suppose we find it easier to just pop it in a bowl for them rather than hide it around the house or whatever. Well this is your answer. You can use it just as you would a food bowl, and not have to do any of the work hiding the food. Personally, I purchased this because my cat has many behavioural issues and wanted something to provide cognitive enrichment combined with her feeding time. As a rescue cat, she is reactive, nervous and therefore easily stressed. Since purchasing this product back in June she has improved leaps and bounds. It took her a while to get used to using it, and sometimes a little persuasion as she would attempt to get me to pop the food in a bowl by ignoring the food in the tray. However, once she got the hang of using the product, she was well away. She is now more affectionate, less stressed around other cats and people and is much less nervous. Though this product was not the sole reason for that, it did play a large part. After all enrichment is intended to promote positive and natural behaviour. Other positive attributes this boasts: - It can be used for both dry and wet food as well as water - It's is easy to clean (can be rinsed in the sink and the bowls on the edge can be removed and washed separately too) - Useful in combating obesity in your pet or just to help keep your pet trim! - Good for older pets as they can lay down and still get at the food easily - Is large enough to feed multiple cats, if that's your thing. - Is not an eyesore! So get this and make a positive change in your cats life!

I have two lovely Siamese girls who are quite clever, and enjoy feeding puzzles, which they usually get to grips with quite quickly. Sure to form, they managed to eat all the food I'd put in this one within about an hour, which was quite good going. However, the little clear spheres weren't their favourite bits, and the square holes often ended up with food left in them. They knew how to get it out, they just couldn't be bothered. Until one of my cats worked out that she could flip the whole board, and tip all the bits of food out of it in one go! So that was fun. Ultimately, though, I'm returning this. Not because my cats don't enjoy it, or because it's not good as a puzzle feeder, but because it's so big it won't fit into a washing up bowl, and is really difficult to clean. The only way to clean it is in the bath, which is both inconvenient and unsanitary. I'll be looking for another, better, puzzle feeder to use.

Best thing I’ve ever bought for my cats. They are so greedy and always used to eat too fast and then bring it all back up. This is great for slow feeding and making them work for their food. Plus very interactive play

I scatter a small scoop of his kibble around the activity board and a few higher value treats in the harder to reach places like the cups and the middle of the tunnel. He learnt very quickly how to get at the "easier" ones and spends a bit more time on the "harder" ones. Definitely recommend to stimulate your cats problem-solving skills with reward.

My fur baby loves playing with this puzzle. I showed her how to pull the treats with my fingers a few times and she was pulling her treats almost immediately. Makes treat time last longer & entertains her for a few minutes! Well made, will last long!

Adoré par nos chats, et donc par nous aussi. Simple, se nettoie facilement et bien solide -> je recommande.

リビングに出しっぱなしでも違和感が無いくらい高級感があります。「これは何？」とよくきかれますがおしゃれなアートに見えなくもない。 我が家は猫の為に買いましたがちょっと使いづらそう。カップは深く、棒の隙間も狭いので手が太いと入らないし舌も届きません。人間が端まで誘導してあげながら、おやつにたどり着いた気持ちにさせてあげています。何にでも興味津々の子猫の好奇心は満足させられました。

Mijn katten werden meteen enthousiast van deze voerpuzzel. Een fijn formaat zodat ze er goed en makkelijk bij kunnen. Afwisselend in moeilijkheidsgraad, de cupjes en kleine vakjes zijn wat ingewikkelder en het duurde even voordat ze het door hadden. Het was misschien beter geweest als de rand van de cupjes niet doorzichtig was geweest. In de beschrijving staat slipvast door rubberen voetjes. Ondanks dat kunnen ze het board toch redelijk makkelijk verschuiven. Ideaal dat je de cupjes eruit kunt halen door ze een slag te draaien, waardoor je ze makkelijker schoon kunt maken. Ik ben zeer tevreden met dit board, ziet er leuk uit en makkelijk in gebruik
