Nina Ottosson Buggin’ Out Puzzle & Play Cat Puzzle Feeder – Interactive Treat Game for Indoor Cats, Level 2 Slow Feeder Enrichment Toy, 13.9" x 11.5"

As a young kitten, my buddy would scarf down his food so fast he would make himself sick. I started using this puzzle to feed him and helped his tummy so much! There are different puzzles to solve and also the big wheel can be “locked” into place with your cat needing to figure out what’s keeping it from spinning. It’s very enriching and challenges their brain almost like a session of play time! Very well made and easy to clean. Although we no longer use this for feedings, I will put some treats in there if I feel like he’s too bored and needs something to do. We both love it!

When my kitty became special-needs, she lost interest in many of her usual activities. So she started begging me for food all day as I worked from home - largely because it was the only thing she could think of to do. She needed a hobby. I tried a treat ball, but she wasn’t interested. I was desperate, so i bought this puzzle. It’s great because you can scaffold the activities from a half covered treat to actions that require two steps or object permanent memory. She actually prefers this to being given treats by hand, purring as she watches me fill it up. I do double check after she’s finished, to make anything she’s missed more accessible when she checks later - there’s a couple of configurations that need opposable thumbs to fix. We’ve had it about four days and she has figured out the hardest tasks, though it does take her awhile to work through the puzzle, carefully doublechecking that she didn’t miss anything. At this point, I think it’s less about treats and more about the challenge. Honestly, one of the best cat toys I’ve gotten.

Love this puzzle for giving my cat some mental stimulation. Very good quality and it's nice and easy, good for beginners who haven't done puzzles before. The only negative is that some of the pieces slide down too easily, moving on their own and revealing the treats without any work.

Works as designed. The instructions are very thorough, and make recommendations for how to help your cats learn how to use it, plus ideas to enhance enrichment such as placing the toy in different locations every time so that they can "hunt" for their treats. Of my two cats, one is generally treat motivated and loves to use the toy. It is easy for her to slide the components to reveal the treats and keeps her engaged until she finds all the treats. My other cat, who typically does not play with treat toys as much, does not have quite as long of a snout and had some difficulty getting the treat out of the compartment without using her paw to pull it out. Definitely a little frustrating for her, so it make take a little modification to make the toy work for her. Overall, though, I'm very satisfied with the puzzle toy. It's quiet, big, and feels durable.

Cute nature themed design and easy for curious cats to figure out. My cat tends to move the lady bugs with her nose rather than her paw. I haven't tried doing a combo of the leaves and ladybugs yet. My cat has used puzzles before, but I still slowly introduced this one so she would understand the concept. The plastic material is good heavy quality and should last a while and be easy to clean.

Very interesting in theory, poor execution in practice. My cat is smart and curious. He enjoys foiling my best laid plans to keep him out of cabinets, doors, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow has opposible thumbs. He also hoobers up his food when I feed him. So purchasing a puzzle food toy like this seemed like a great way to slow down his eating and also exercise his brain. From the get go he was frustrated because he couldn't get the food out of the recessed wells in the toy. Forget manipulating the hole covers, he couldn't even enjoy getting the food out. He got the idea of fishing the food out with his paw. Often times, the food would get stuck between the two plastic layers that allow the covers to move up and down. Other times he'd get the food but the cover would slide down adm knock it from his paw. I would hold the cover so it wouldn't slide down but he just wasn't enjoying it. He doesn't really eat large pieces of food for snacks or otherwise. Nah, this was a bust. I also purchased a larger puzzle toy from this same company that he also didn't enjoy. I'm not sure what he should be doing different to limit his frustration.

My cats annoy me for treats daily, but this is my preferred way to give treats! These puzzle feeders challenge my cats to get their treat reward. It encourages them to use their minds, and natural skills to hunt the treats. I like that it keeps them busy, and they have to take some time for the puzzle. Its easy to fill and clean, a really good price

My cat loves this puzzle game! It's great to engage your cat and get them to use their brain and have a little fun while stimulating their senses. Helps relieve boredom and gives them treats as a reward for completing the game. A geat investment for your cat's health and happiness!

商品名は「猫用おもちゃ」なんだけど、うちではチワワ用の知育トイとして活躍してます。 最初は「てんとう虫の形が可愛いし、小型犬でもいけるかな？」くらいのノリで買ったんですが、これが思った以上にハマってくれてます。 本体はてんとう虫型で、上の赤いパーツがスライドしたり回ったりして、その下からフードやおやつが出てくるタイプのトリーツゲーム。 うちのチワワは最初、「ん？ なにこれ？」って感じでクンクンするところからスタートだったんですが、ちょっとだけ手伝ってあげて仕組みを見せてあげたら、前足と鼻を上手く使ってスライドさせるコツをだんだん覚えていきました。 小型犬でも扱いやすいポイントはこんな感じです： 本体がそこまで大きくないので、チワワサイズでも怖がらずに近づける 裏面に滑り止めが付いていて、フローリングでもそこまで暴れない パーツの動きが軽すぎず重すぎずで、「ちょっと頑張れば動く」絶妙な手応え 完全に“がっつり噛んで遊ぶおもちゃ”ではなく、頭を使ってフードを取り出すタイプなので、雨の日で散歩が短くなっちゃったときとか、夜の“もう一遊び”にちょうどいい感じです。 難易度としては、 全くの初心者ワンコ：最初は人間が少しヒントを出してあげた方がいい 慣れてきたワンコ：１ゲーム数分で全部出せるようになるかも というくらいなので、「難しすぎて心折れる」より「考えながら遊べて楽しい」寄りの知育おもちゃだと思います。 一方で、犬に使うときに気をつけたほうがいいなと思った点もあります： 噛みぐせが強い子だと、プラスチックのパーツを噛み壊そうとする可能性あり 放置すると本体ごと引きずり回したりするので、必ず“人が見ている前提”で使うおもちゃ フードやおやつのサイズによっては穴から出にくいことがあるので、小粒タイプが相性◎ なので、「ひとり遊び用のおもちゃ」というよりは、飼い主がそばで見守りながら、一緒に遊ぶ知育タイム用っていうイメージが合ってます。 【良かったところ】 猫用だけど、小型犬（チワワ）でもサイズ感・構造ともに十分遊べる スライドや回転でフードを探す“頭を使う遊び”ができて、良い気分転換になる 雨の日や散歩が短い日の“プラスアルファの運動＆刺激”としてちょうどいい 底に滑り止め付きで、フローリングでもそこまで暴れない 【気になったところ】 噛み癖が強い犬種・子には、目を離すとパーツを噛み壊しそうで少し不安 完全な“放置おもちゃ”には向かない（必ず見守り前提） フードは小粒タイプじゃないと出にくいことがある 【まとめ】 「猫用って書いてあるけど、小型犬でも遊べるかな？」と思いつつ試してみた結果、 うちのチワワにはかなりヒットした知育トイでした。 がっつり壊しながら遊ぶタイプのおもちゃじゃなくて、 頭を使ってフードを探す“パズルゲーム”的な遊びをさせたい という飼い主さんには、猫・犬どちらにも候補に入れていいアイテムだと思います。 小型犬で、好奇心強め＆フードモチベ高めな子には特におすすめです。

My 5 month old Maine coon loves it. It’s good quality: sturdy, to hold him standing all over it (right now he is 4kg) : pieces are easy to move so he can get the reward for his efforts but still makes him work for it. It’s been a good way to introduce him to new places with the distraction of a treat, that lasts a bit longer than giving them to him by hand.

Our cats love this. Just make sure you put delicious treats inside to entice them.

It’s a good quality enrichment toy with multiple permutations for cats to find their snack. It wasn’t overly difficult for my cat, but challenging enough for her to stay engaged and slow down her snack time.

Brinquedo muito bom para enriquecimento alimentar com vários níveis de dificuldade, ótimo para entreter os gatos.
