TRIXIE Fantasy Board Interactive Cat Toy
About This Item
Details
- Interactive cat toy requires your cat to use all of his senses to get to the treats.
- Game 1 is a treasure hunt that can be filled with ping pong balls to cover hidden treats.
- Game 2 is a go fish fountain that lets treats trickle down while cats try to capture them.
- Game 3 is a cup scoop that requires patience and dexterity to earn the reward.
- Game 4 is a playful option that allows cats to earn treats while lying down and using their paws, claws or toes.
Instructions
- Always play this game together with your cat.
- Select a good starting time: start the game when your cat is awake and in a playful mood. Do not start just after she has eaten. Alternatively, you could feed her while playing, by replacing the treats with the normal dry food. This prevents overfeeding and makes mealtimes more exciting and interesting.
- Set the game up in a place where your cat feels relaxed and undisturbed.
- Sit next to your cat and observe her subtly and calmly. Try to avoid staring, as this can make your cat feel restrained.
- To motivate your cat at the start, use treats which are especially tasty for her.
- Help your cat at the beginning to master the task to keep her motivated. It is important that your cat – especially early on – is successful quickly, so that she connects the game with a positive experience.
- Although cats are naturally playful, some have almost forgotten how to play. These cats need to be taught gently and patiently how to play.
- Some cats are excellent observers and imitators and can learn very well by watching.
Cats react very differently to new toys. Many are highly motivated to play right from the beginning with the “Cat Activity” toy range. Others need a little time to get used to the toys. They will ignore the toys at first, only later to become completely enthusiastic about playing with them. There are also cats that enjoy concentrating for a long time on a game, while others prefer to play in smaller doses, but more frequently. Whichever way your cat decides, allow her time to deal with the game in her own way.
Attention: Cats under the age of 3 months or with a weight less than 3.3 lbs should use the Fantasy Board under supervision only.

Trixie has a pretty good track record and several of their 'dog' puzzles work well for cats. This is at least 3 different games with 3 levels of effort, which is a nice feature. Plus, it all snaps together, requiring no mini-screws. My guy loves it as a at-work kibble feeder with a couple of treat cups. Good!

I followed the recommendation with this item and sat near her while I loaded up Sweetie Pie's new toy. Of course, when she saw treats,she came running. She watched carefully as I put the treats in the various areas. I also bought some squeezable food for the trough. We didn't use the cups as treat launchers, but she had a great time maneuvering the ping pong balls for those treats! She must have done 2 or 3 circles around the puzzle before she got to finding everything. She already has another puzzle toy, but she isn't very challenged by it. Now I have the two and can alternate for more excitement for her. Today, she seemed to appreciate me praising her for figuring these things out. I certainly felt like I made a great choice!

The fur balls are taking treats from it, and sometimes playing with the balls in the large section. Neither has tried getting anything from the baskets on the poles. Both are able to enjoy it.

My cat eats from the top tray, pulling a little at a time with her paw, which often goes to the bottom tray, so she gets to do it again. She is curious about the flexible cups and has activated them a couple of times.
Too Simple
This toy was too simple for my cats to figure out. Within 5 minutes, all the treats had been consumed. Don't get me wrong, it is a good interactive toy

Good toy, good price
Cute toy. The cats liked to play with the ping pongs, as others said - you just have to put them back with each feeding, so they can 'forage'. I put other toys in
Cute toy. The cats liked to play with the ping pongs, as others said - you just have to put them back with each feeding, so they can 'forage'. I put other toys in there if I can't find them all. One of the tall things broke off and the other broke on the bottom (so it slides around), which is why I'm giving 4 stars. But we've had this about a year and its still kicking and interesting for our kitties!
Good for Young Cats
My two young ones (1 year and 2 years) love playing with this. I would recommend it for cats who are energetic and food-driven. We have the other Trixie puzzles

My 4 cats love this toy. But I love it because I can put freeze dried treats in it instead of the hard treats most toys are designed for. Granted, it doesn't take them too long to clear it out but it does the job.
This is anything but a fun aka slow feeder.

Our house caters to kitties. We currently have 24 in total. And at any given time there’s 15-19 in the main areas. Because we cannot easily serve several meals a day and we free feed it was a suggestion of a vet that we buy fun aka slow feeders. After looking around on Chewy I found a good variety. I think I bought one of each. Or at least close to it. I was in and out of the house all day and in observed a couple cats using this feeder. First off they took the balls out and used them as play toys. I picked them up and put them in the pet drawer. Second they gave it an investigation and took a few pieces from here and there. Third they basically said nope I’m going to just eat the food from the white bin area. Which completely defeats the purpose of why this feeder was bought. I’m going to give it another day or two but I’m most likely going to give it to a friend who I hope will have better luck than I did with this feeder.
