Trixie - Activity Fun Board - 1 piece

I've got a few different cat activity products, but this activity board is my favourite. One of my cats took to it the day I got it while the other took a couple of days to learn how to get food out of the little bowls. Now they are both good at using it and frequently go back to it during the day to take a few biscuits then wander off.I started out by putting a few pieces of shrimp on it and sitting with them while they worked out how to get the food, encouraging them when they got stuck. Now I use it instead of giving them dry food bowls and put their daily rations on it. It seems to benefit them as they have to work to get the food out, which is especially good for them during the Winter months when they don't seem to do anything but sleep as it gives them a bit of mental stimulation and physical activity.The best thing about it is that it has five different types of activity (bowls, tunnel, little dips, wiggly lines and stumps) which each require a different level of tactile ability from your cat. It also challenges them to use their other senses as the can't always see the food or reach it with their mouth so need to rely on their nose or paws.An added bonus is that (like the other cat activity puzzles) you can put wet food on it too because it's made of hard plastic and is really easy to wash (the plastic bowls can be taken off which I didn't know when I ordered it). For a treat I put a packet of wet food on it and watch the cats dipping their paws into the sauce and licking it off once they've got all the chunks out... Very cute, but can be a little messy so I put a towel underneath.It might appear that some cats find it too easy to get the food, but it still requires them to engage their brain and practice using their feet so I wouldn't say that them finishing it quickly is a problem with the product.It's a very good price for the quality and is really durable so if you're looking to give your cats a casual activity to do for a few minutes a couple of times a day I would definitely buy this for them.

The media could not be loaded. Purchased for my cats, one who gorges on biscuits then is often sick afterwards. This has slowed his feeding habits down and the gorging and vomiting episodes have stopped.Easy to clean and sturdy design.Nicely weighted so can not to tipped over.Fun as lots of different positions the biscuits can go in to make the cat work for the food and slows them down too.So pleased with this.The video is from when we first put the feeder down for the cats. It has been down for nearly a year now and they still love to grab the biscuits and keeps them entertained for ages.Very good price when purchased and solid puzzle feeder for cats

This board is good quality and keeps my cat entertained. She usually eats treats quite quickly and this will slow her right down. It took her one night to figure out most of the activities on the board. She still can't figure out how to use the bowls though - in my opinion they are a bit steep for most cats, and the transparent bowls make it hard for her to learn to use the openings at the top. Making them either shorter or opaque would probably work, and since they are removable you could probably fit your own if you wanted.The board itself is solid with some weight to it. It has rubber pads to keep it from moving. My cat isn't majorly destructive with the board but I imagine if a cat jumped at it or shoved their paws down the tunnel hard then it could shift a bit. It's pretty easy to clean but naturally has a lot of small annoying bits.Overall a nice board, if a bit expensive at the full price. A good variety of activities that most cats will pick up if shown. The bowls may be too small for some larger cats and are not a great design in my opinion. And as always, every cat is different and yours might not like puzzles - I would suggest trying a cheaper puzzle ball or board first, even a homemade one. If your cat is interested in that they will probably take to this board no problem.
