Fun Board

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.

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

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.

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!

It is well made and seems good quality however, it took less than 5mts for my 2 year old cat to work it all out, and about 10 mts for the kitten, is not a challenge for them at all so I will be returning it.

Se entretienen mucho comiendo en ese comedero, de hecho mis gatos ya prefieren comer de ahí que del clásico, les resulta un reto mental bueno para conseguir la comida

Excellent produit qui répond aux besoins éthologiques

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!

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。

Materiale molto resistente. Ho provato diversi giochi per il mio gatto ma dopo poco non lo divertono più. Il fatto che questo si basi sui croccantini lo rende più longevo.
