TRIXIE Activity Fun Board 5-in-1 Activity Strategy Game Cat Toy

My kittens don't seem to like this thing. One of them is really clever at getting at food, but even he tends to ignore this thing. I cannot figure out how a cat is supposed to get treats/kibble out of the clear bowls 'cuz there's a lip on the inside that prevents them from sliding pieces out with their paws. And I cannot figure out how any cat is going to get anything solid out of those little square depressions on the other end. Maybe those work for them to lick out some liquid, but they can't get in there with paws.

As it says in the (detailed) info packet that comes with this, it’s important to teach your cat how to use this toy. At first they didn’t get it, now they love it. I put most of their dry food and sometimes treats, in the various puzzles and when I get home much of it is gone. They haven’t lost interest in this over the months I’ve had it, in fact they have liked it more over time. Makes me feel better about leaving them home alone, I know they have some mental challenges to get into. Highly recommend this.

I ordered this when my cats (now around 1 year 3 months old) were still very young after testing them with home made ones. They love it! When I feed them dry food they always beeline for where this is kept and are disappointed if I just put the food in a bowl. They figured out all of the puzzles and one of them adores the small square puzzle and will happily lick all of the food out from there. I always find this empty by the morning regardless of which section the food is in. I use it daily for their dry food. It's the perfect size for my two cats to share. 100% recommend for those who have cats who want a little more out of meal times.

Well Lola is pretty smart it seems she did figure it out quickly but it was to keep her busy when I leave at night for work and she runs to it when she hears the treats Seems to really enjoy it and concentrates on it It is fun to watch her and she gets her favorite treats but works a little for them

I gave this as a present to my cat and she LOVES it! She really likes puzzles to begin with and loves to figure things out. This toy is great for her because it takes some time to figure out but she’s not frustrated with it and it doesn’t get “old” because she loves treats!

I have 3 adults cats (that act like kittens when this puzzle is filled up) and 8 kittens currently. I put raw treats in all of these activity places so they can hunt their food. They love it. It gives them so much more to do than just each the treats. They love it!

Three of the five areas for hiding treats my cat figured out and loved right away (the tunnel area under the squares, the wavy part, and the pegs), however the little squares and the bowls proved to be difficult for his large paws. He's a Bengal mix, so big paws are part of the package, and though he knew how to scoop out the treats from the bowls, his paws were too large to get in there, curl, and then pull out. The lip of the bowl should be widened. Perhaps at the halfway mark end the bowl entirely, making it more of a cup. He was trying to grab the edge of the bowl and knock it over, but obviously that didn't work and he got frustrated.

Despite these minor issues of size, this puzzle is fun and stimulating for my old boy. I'd give it a higher rating if the bowl puzzle wasn't too difficult. Even I tried to simulate it with two of my own fingers and it was difficult pulling the treat from under the lip of the bowl. … more

My kitty has big paws and is declawed. Forget about the cups, I didn’t even put the treats in these cups based on the other negative reviews. But his paws are too big to fit in the narrow sections and without claws he couldn’t grab anything. Seeing he was getting frustrated, I packed it up for a donation to a shelter. I gave it 2 stars because it is a cool idea…..but for small cat that has claws. Chewy was great about resolving my purchase. So thanks to a great company that stands behind their products!

Baited with their ultimate favorite treats, this puzzle board kept my cats engaged for more than 10 minutes on the first try. It includes four different skills and depending on where you place the treats, you can change the difficulty. Training tips are included in the box. The toy is dishwasher safe, but handwashing the "fishbowl" parts is a good idea, especially if you use non-dry treats.

I had my doubts about our Izzy being able to figure out a food puzzle (good thing she's cute!), but she managed to get to middle school level with this, and she now waits every morning for me to add some treats so that she can play with her puzzle. Maybe she's smarter than we thought, I guess she has us trained! The only part she has difficulty with is getting treats from the bowls, she can't quite seem to get the treat over the lip. But she is now a pro and scooping treats thru the maze and can get it out of some of the small cubes. So, I'd say it's a success! I'm looking for another puzzle to trade out with this one, I don't want her to get bored with it! Money well spent!
