Catstages Nina Ottosson Kitty Cube Puzzle Cat Toy Treat Puzzle, 8.7"

I use this with my cat as a bedtime ritual, to give her something to do that stimulates her brain and makes her eat something to trigger sleepy time for her as well. When we first got the puzzle I started on "easy mode", just putting treats under the sliders. After she figured those out, I put treats under the lids as well. Then we moved to "advanced mode" by also putting treats under those bone-shaped lids that block the sliders. I guess you can add an additional option by hiding treats in the bone-shaped compartments with the lids of the open boxes covering them- did that a couple of times, but it's really just a matter of moving the lids the other way. All in all, she had the whole thing figured out in a couple of days, but I think she still enjoys playing with it ever night. It takes her a couple of minutes to get all the treats out. The puzzle is pretty sturdy and well-made with no sharp edges or pieces that could come off easily, so I don't always sit with her when she does the puzzle and leave it out in her food area with no worries. It's definitely a good buy for the price, especially if you just want to test if puzzles might be fun for your cat - I recommend it! And there are always more complex options out there to advance with later on.

My cats really like this food puzzle. I’ve tried others that one of my cats (in the video) gets frustrated with and gives up. But he’s gotten nearly all the kibbles out each time and keeps him occupied. The pieces slide easily and the white bits come out somewhat easily (sometimes they flip over but stay in place) which helps them not get frustrated. My other cat prefers this one over his Catit food puzzle tower. I DON’T think this is a good idea for brachycephalic/smoosh-faced cats as mine with longer snouts still have to really shove their face into the holes to get the kibbles. Overall great quality, durability, and functionality, and the price makes it even better! I’m debating getting another so both my cats can use it at the same time, seeing as it’s their favorite food puzzle so far.

My cats love these, and the quality is good. My only real complaint is that they are a pain to clean if you're using anything wet in them. The little covers for the compartments pop off, but as far as I can tell the sliding compartments do not. If they did this would be so easy to clean and absolutely a 5 star item, and I think it wouldn't be that hard to make that happen. Otherwise the cats enjoy them, they work well, though not easy to clean, they are a great price, and they are just heavy enough the cats don't knock them around playing with it. I appreciate that you can set them to different levels of challenge because not all my cats are as clever and determined as some are.

I love puzzle feeders for cats! I was veterinary technician for 18 years and I highly recommended puzzles like these to every cat owner. I worked for a practice that was a member of the American association of feline practitioners and have really seen the difference in overall health a mentally healthy cat vs a bored depressed one. Just like people, their minds affect their health! I would say this one is an easy to medium difficulty so I think it's a good start for young adult cats new to puzzle feeders. Older inactive cats that never had a puzzle feeder may have some trouble. I would recommend a basic slow feeder to start for older cats. Toys like these help keep them from being bored and helps imitate natural feeding habits. Cats will hunt all day and eat several small meals, so just coming to a stationary bowl of food is boring and will make them eat more. With something like this, they will have to work for it, and eat a few kibbles at a time and they get satisfied with much less food It helps with boredom and inactivity leading to weight gain and I also feel cats who are not bored are more likely to interact and be affectionate and playful. I am writing this review on support of this product and others like it, but really it's hopefully a way to help owners understand their cats a little better. I hope your cats have happy hunting!

Great product all around! I thought it looked kind of cheap at first but saw it had great reviews so I decided to try it along with a few other puzzle boards to see which ones my cat would use/ could figure out. Turns out this one is a definite winner! Even over a similar product (same types of puzzles) that I liked more! It’s a very clever design concept, as he couldn’t figure out how to solve the one I preferred but he could do this one on his own pretty quickly. And it keeps him busy and entertained for a good while until he figures out almost all of them. It’s surprisingly sturdy and good quality too compared to the cheap material I was expecting. Also, the blue and yellow colors automatically attracted my cat to this one compared to the others because they are colors that cats can actually see. The compact size and large fill portions per hiding spot are additional pluses. Good price. Worth the value. This product is a winner, through and through. Would highly recommend.

I thought this would be a great way to get my older girl to eat a little slower, and work for her food, as she is a tad overweight. At first, I had to help her, a lot. She used it for a bit, but then, sadly, the feeder toy didn't work, in the long run. It'd probably work for younger cats or kittens.

Love it for new kitten! Very helpful for the little one and such a great beginning puzzle for our cat! Easy to use and different ways to challenge them! Will be purchasing again for other kittens! Lightweight and easy to transfer to different places! Very safe for kittens!

I bought this for my persian cat. He loved trying to open the containers, but the cups that hold the treats are too deep for his little flat face. We used it 4 or 5 times. The last time, I put two treats in each one. After he got one open, he had a hard time getting the treats out. I opened the rest of the containers, and he still struggled, He gave up, leaving 3 treats behind. I gave it to my friend for her new rescue dog.

Très bon jeu, de bonne qualité ! A tenu mes chats bien occupés.

After a few days of use, they already ask for extra food at the puzzle feeder. One of my cats is smart enough to push his face quickly in the lil boxes while I refill them 🙈🤣 All 3 of them like it and actively use it. The maine coons push it, turn it upside down, literally go above and beyond do get their food out. I use it with another toy that they love and use, so that they can have a hunting experience. They seemingly enjoy it!

This works well and is easy to clean. Good quality plastic. Took our cat about 30 seconds to work out all three different ways to get to the food, but at least slows her down gobbling up the whole serve of kibbles in that time frame when it just drops into her bowl.

Really awesome! The boxes are easy to open and to slide, my cat loves to play with this puzzle

Was great for indoor cat
