Catstages Buggin’ Out Interactive Cat Treat Puzzle

One of my cats is easily bored and eventually we realized it is because she is actually very smart. She figured out how to use this toy within 10 minutes of unpacking it and loves it. Even though she figured out how to use it quickly, it still requires mental engagement and focus on her part. It has helped keep her boredom down and she loves earning her treats. It has held up well, seems durable, and is worth the money. I would recommend it to anyone with a cat who likes some mental engagement and is food motivated.

Took my cats a few hours to figure it out, but they solved the puzzle and seem to enjoy it. The price is reasonable. Build quality is pretty good. Some of the mechanisms are a little on the loose or tight side which can make them hard to keep closed or hard to open for the kitties. Still, overall worth it to stimulate your cats a bit.

The cat really enjoys playing with this toy. It seems durable and safe for her to play with unsupervised. Good value for the hours of play she’s had.

I have two cats and this was only a hit with one. After showing them a few times how it worked my one cat picked it right up and now this will keep her entertained for a little while. My other cat is a little lazier and she does not care to work for her treats. The quality is great and all the parts that are supposed to move do so freely. It’s also easy to clean and shake out any crumbs from the treats. Highly recommend for cats that are curious and need to be challenged.

très sympa de faire manger le chihuahua dedans .il est motivée,et sa le stimule bien

Pros:

– This is a pretty impressive-looking but still beginner to intermediate level cat feeder. It said to increase difficulty slowly, but after two days of my cat not even having to think about it, I skipped to the hardest level and that took him about day to figure out completely. This is NOT a food-motivated cat, nor is he a particularly bright one (I know, I love him, but he’s an orange tabby with very limited access to the One Orange Brain Cell they all share — pictures posted as evidence that if he can solve these, ANY cat can. Images as proof.)
– Well-made, easy to clean, dishwasher safe
– Can be set up in stages to help cats learn the skills to successfully acquiring all the kibbles/treats/etc
– perfectly sized for most dry cat foods and treats (ladybugs will accept and release up to Greenies Cats size treats)
– no jams, nothing trapped that needed prying out
– makes slowing down kibble inhalation and portion control a lot easier, as he’s no longer focused on the bottom of his dish
– already able to transfer skills learned with this toy/feeder to others
– most importantly, and why I began this: HE IS NO LONGER BOLTING HIS FOOD AND REGURGITATING IT. Because, beyond the “ew I just stepped in semi-digested cat food” factor, it was seriously bad for his health and probably hurt.

Cons:

– he now refuses to be fed out of a food dish
– it now takes 20+min to portion out his dry food in the mornings between three toys, two fillable mice I then hide, and a treat dispensing ball that contains a spiral to up the difficulty beyond “ball with a hole in it”. Again in the evenings.

My cat is now so smug as he no longer needs me, he feeds himself and is a mighty hunter, thank you very much.

This is a monster of my own creation. That said, this is also a really good puzzle feeder or treat dispenser with the ability to increase or decrease the difficulty. We had a couple of secondhand dog puzzles he was enjoying, but this is much better and of all the puzzles we have it continues to be the easiest to fill and clean for the longest length of feeding time as he doesn’t get more than 4-5 kibbles per ladybug.

The leaf in the middle really ups the difficulty, you might want to leave that open for a long while as it can lock up several other leaves. Only once they’re slapping leaves aside is it a good time to stick this wrench in the cogs 😄
