Nina Ottosson by Outward Hound Melon Madness Puzzle & Play Cat Toy

My cat is indoor only. Puzzle toys help keep her hunting instincts sharp. My cat has a couple of puzzles and this one kept her perplexed for awhile, but now she's figured it out. This puzzle is slightly harder for me to load, but it's a good challenge for both of us.

At first use my kitty did not seem interested in it(she did sniff it) when I left it out for her. So I put it away for awhile. Brought it out again(about 6-8 weeks ago), and when she’s hungry she tried it more, some success, now she’s at full success at maneuvering all the gadgets. What I decided to do, was to give half her food dose(morning and evening) in her regular bowl(with warm water only), and put the other half into all those little ‘cups’ and cover them with with the green cover(mostly at first), then the seed covers too. Now she’s a pro at all the different gadgets hiding her ‘nibble’ food(2nd half of each meal). Sometimes she goes through it fast, other times she eats from it more slowly(grazing). She’s getting soooo good at it, I’m about to really try letting her use my dog’s Snuffle Mat. I actually already did, a short bit, by accident,(she discovered the smell of our dog’s kibble in there)before Sam got to it. She loves his food too! But Sam was waiting, with ‘baited breaths’ and whines heehee, so I had to pull Poppy away. One of these days coming up, I will let her try Sam’s Snuffle Mat. :) Then I’ll need to get a new one for her. She’s so used to the 2 that are hers.

Because of tilt, hard for cat to keep some slots open long enough to get treat. Some of moving covers too tight for cat to slide.
