Catit Senses 2.0 Cat Digger Slow Feeder

It took 0 effort for my cat Misa to figure out how to use this! We went from a bag of cat food every 2 weeks to 1 bag a month. She was never happy if her bowl was empty, and she was eating so much! I tried the slow feeders, but that just seemed to make her even more miserable. I feel like we found a really nice middle ground for the both of us with this product!!!

Peace loves his slow food/treat toy! I put treats in his so that he has to work for each one. At first it sat, and sat, for a while. I was actually worried that he was never going to use it. Then one day I decided that maybe to get him going I needed to fill the tubes up a little more than I was and wow! He was off and running. Now he will eventually dig out every last one. So that's my advice to anyone that has a kitty that just doesn't use it right away. Fill the tubes, I filled them to the top so (at first) he could actually get one out with his tongue. I used only the big tubes for the first round of treat. Then I added small tubes the second fill. I also make him get every last one out Peace loves his slow food/treat toy!

My cat Peace is very good at asking for what he wants, he'll start out asking really nice and will get quickly obnoxious if I don't respond in a timely cat manner. But making him dig them out till empty has taught him that there is no compromise on that. If he starts his asking I would just show him that he has some left and walk away. Eventually he learned. I am also a homebound cancer patient so Peace and I have a lot of time together. I do recommend this product. It's just heavy enough to stay in place along with its little attached mat. Built so well. This is my kitty's second catit product and both of us are hooked. … more

The slow feeder is well constructed. The dishes fit snug inside while your cat digs around for the food, but remove to clean easily enough. The way the feeder fits inside of the mat leaves room to be desired, however, as it can easily slide from the center of the rubber mat. Fair value for the price!

My cat used to eat so fast that he would throw it back up every day. I wasn't sure he would know how to use this but he figured out on the first day. I don't have to clean up puke anymore. The only thing is the cups are narrow so I usually make a mess but my cat cleans it up for me.

My cat was smart enough on the first try to just pull the removable green cup out with his teeth and throw the treats out. She never even stuck her paw in... If the green cups screwed in, perhaps it would be a lot better product.

My cat looked at this thing, looked at me like I was crazy and just walked away. I haven't tried loading the tubes with catnip but I doubt it will make a difference. There is nothing wrong with the item, my cat just isn't interested.

But the rubber rings around both of them were distorted from being in the box and even after I laid them flat in the sun for a couple of days they never really went together right. One out of four cats sort of liked it, but the rest just turned their noses up at it. I am disappointed because I bought two of them.

It took our cat, Rosie, less than two minutes to figure out "hmmm..if I use my teeth I can pull out all the cups and dump them out!" It's a great idea, just not for her. I'll try to send it back...

If your cat doesn't like to work for food, maybe not for you. But! All four of our cats go crazy. It slows down their eating and it's helping my older babies with their dexterity. Definitely recommend

This product came just as described, although it's a bit too tough for my cats. One of my cats will eat from it, but the other one doesn't understand how it works at all. I think his paw is a little too large for the containers. He has grabbed the green tube completely to pull it out, but this feeder was a miss for my guys.
