TRIXIE Fun Board Strategy Game for Cats, Puzzle Toy, Treat Dispenser, Interactive Play, Mental Stimulation

Good for bored cats
Great for my cat, stopped her bored eating and she started to prefer messing with this fun board more than just eating straight from her bowl. This fun board is actually well made and durable, and my cat is a chewer. I like this.

Good for mental stimulation, treats, two cats, sharing, positive association, normal feedings.
Just got this and both my eight year old female cat and two year old male cat took to it right away. I put a few treats in all of the spots and they got them out so they would associate this as a positive and fun task. They were able to share it and work at the same time on opposite sides of the board (we are working on sharing). I put some spring toys in the tunnel too and that was a huge hit! The “tongue module” above the tunnel element was tricky for them to use their paws, it stumped them, my male cat lifted the board up with his teeth to move them (which is a common theme with him). The directions recommend water or wet food (however cleaning that sounds like a nightmare and not something I plan on doing often). The board size is larger that I expected, even with measurements given, but that is fine. Cleaning it was a little bit of a task before filling it with treats. It appears durable and well made and relatively easy to use. At three in the morning, I added a few treats to this and was able to go back to sleep for an hour so good on the entertainment and keeping the cats engaged! My eight year old cat was alone for the last seven years, having this new teenage cat, I am very happy to see that she is getting mental stimulation from this, I would have never gotten this if it wasn’t for taking in this male six months ago. I also have the Catstages Kitty Cube Interactive Treat Puzzle Cat Toy from Catstages to use as an alternative to this. The directions recommend starting with ten minute play sessions, and increasing it slowly so the cat(s) stay engaged with it and have a positive association with it and I highly recommend that, bond with your cat(s) and teach them how to use it and praise them for using it. They get frustrated too and if you want them engaged, then engage with them. The four star is mostly for the cleaning aspect, I don’t plan on putting it in the dishwasher. I would recommend this.

Fantastic invention!!
Love this. We make our cats work for Thor treats. They work on getting to them throughout the day. Keeps them busy.

Release the wild cat!
This product is wonderful! Recently my vet told me to put my cat, Precious, on a diet. Well, she’s been driving me nuts begging for more food. She’s also older and is sleeping more than she used to (she’s about 9) and I’ve been wanting her to get a little more active. I tried a feeding ball, but she figured it out quickly and empties it in a couple of minutes (still a good starting point, but I needed to prolong the feeding time to cut down on begging). I kept researching other food puzzles, but I really liked that this has 5 puzzles and seemed the most creative. I’ve had this product for about a week. The price is steep, but worth it. High quality, doesn’t seem likely to break easy, fairly heavy too. I was worried my cat would tip it or something by standing on it, but the puzzle is sturdy and has stood up well to her 11 and a half lbs. Her paws also fit inside each puzzle even thogh she’s chunky. She hasn’t been able to get at the treats by “cheating” with her mouth either on 4 of the puzzles. Most are meant for your cat to use her paw, hearing and sense of smell to get the treats off the board, one is for cat to lap up liquid treats.As for puzzle itself, here’s the deal with each of the 5 puzzles:1. Alley: This is a round tunnel deep enough when you hide treats my cat has to stretch her paw far inside to get the treats in the middle. She really likes the alley and runs from side to side with her tail quivering as if she’s hunting as she searches for treats.2. Liquid treats: This is the blocks on top of the alley. It’s meant for liquid treats so your cat has to lick them up, but from the instruction book it’s not as easy as normal since they’re smaller square blocks. Also supposed to be good for blind or disabled pets. I don’t have any liquid treats to interest my cat yet, so she hasn’t tried this one yet.3. Waves: This is the first one my cat figured out. Pretty simply, all she has to do is one or two paw swipes down the middle and she gets the treats. Once she solved this one she was much more interested in the puzzle so I’m glad there’s a fairly straightforward puzzle.4. Pegs: this is difficult and my cat hasn’t finished figuring it out yet. You put treats in among the pegs, and they’re set up so your cat has to do multiple paw swipes to get the treats out from the board. She’s pretty good if you make the puzzle simpler by putting the treats near the edge of the puzzle board, but has trouble with the ones in the center. She did solve it last night and ate all the treats on the peg board, so she seems to be catching on.5. Globes: This is the hardest one, and my cat’s still working on it. Precious has to put her paw into the globe, feel for a treat, and scoop it out of the globe and onto the floor so she can eat it. She’s had a few successes, but still having some trouble.Pros:5 puzzles in one platform, each differing in difficulty. Difficulty also adjusted by placing food nearer to edge or further away. I divide up her hard food so she gets some food throughout the day until I’m home and can feed her. When I’m home my cat plays and snacks on a few kibbles, then wanders away seeming satisfied. My cat doesn’t beg anymore and she’s more active when I watch her play and get treats. She seems to be enjoying herself too.Disadvantages:The price is very expensive for a cat toy. on the other hand, the quality is good so I don’t feel cheated. Since 5 puzzles involved price works out to be reasonable for each seperate puzzle. Also the board is a little bulky in my small apartment. Size about 12”x14 1/2” (not huge, but my place is small.

È il secondo che compro.La soluzione ideale per i gatti che mangiano troppo in fretta, in più si divertono a giocare per prendere il cibo, come se fossero piccole prede. I gatti sono quindi più stimolati e fanno più attività. Unisce l’utile e il dilettevole.

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。
