CatstagesNina Ottosson Buggin' Out Puzzle & Play - Interactive Cat Treat Puzzle

I am happy to announce that our cat is not as dumb as a rock. She figured it out within seconds of it going on the floor, the compartment doors move around easily, the treat placement areas do not obstruct her ability to get at the treat once she solves a puzzle and she seems to really enjoy flexing her brain-bits that relate to problem-solving. Excellent product.

The swivel raindrops were perfect for my little cat, that doesn’t keep trying if she finds something too difficult. They move maybe a little too freely, but it meant she didn’t get frustrated and would keep trying. I was most concerned that she wouldn’t even try, but after moving the first raindrop, she tried out others and even had a go at the pegs!!The raindrops were far too easy for the boisterous boy who would just mash his face into them.The moving pegs were a little more challenging but he still picked those up quite quickly. The wheel however, has still proven difficult and he hasn’t worked out yet what he’s doing to get the treats under there but he’s getting close!There have been ways to configure the rain drops and the cups to make the board more difficult to move which has been appreciated.I’ll definitely be getting the other design to put into rotation, but I don’t think the cats will be losing interest in this one anytime soon.It’s very well made and really well suited to all three of our different level cats.Picture of the board - picture of my partner showing the cats how to use it - pictures of the boy eating various treats

The media could not be loaded. Works well, not too difficult and 3 types of moving parts. The only problem was my cleverest girl does it too well and the other 2 really don’t get a look in. The video shows the first time I loaded it and put it down and Yumi quickly works out each of the puzzles…..surprisingly starting with the wheel😹

Our Ragdoll kitten, 8 months old, used to bolt her wet food in literally 2 minutes as I timed her. Bought this bowl and it took her around 15 minutes to eat it, I kid you not; again, I timed her. Slowed her right down, it's brilliant! Even now a month later as she's got used to it, it still takes her about 10 minutes, so way slower than her original 2 minutes. Very happy indeed! We get 10 minutes of peace while she's stuffing her face - bliss, LOL.The bowl is easy to rinse at night so it's ready for the morning, and simple to wash anyway. I don't think it's dishwasher safe, but it doesn't need to go there. Make sure you spread and squash the wet food down in between the wavy bits though to give kitty more of a challenge.Highly recommend this, it's great!

The media could not be loaded. My son’s cat, who visits us as well as we live in the same close, enjoys this puzzle. We set this up for when he visits us. He had it sussed out quite quickly but he’s a very good motivated cat. It slows him down eating and makes him use his skills to work it out. There’s one frustrating design point, but guess this depends on the type/brand of cat crunchies you use. We use Blink & Wainwrights which are small flat circular biscuits. These crunchies annoyingly slide between the two layers of the board (between the red and green layers) so we put the cruchies in the little cups, and as shadow licks them out they sometimes slide under the top board and get wedged under the red layer around the outside of the cup. Shadow then gets frustrated trying to claw it out as he can see and smell it but can’t get it out 😔. You have to tip the board upside down and shake it to get them out. That’s the only downside. It’s not a problem but it is a pain. I bought this on a discounted price of £9.99. I wouldn’t have paid more to be honest. This was a good price. Very happy and good for shadow to be challenged.

This is a decent looking cat feeder and appears to be well made, but the plastic work is too thick whilst at the same time the wells for the food are too small in diameter. Our cat is a large male, and its clear upon receipt and looking at the actual feeder in person that there is no way he's getting his large murder mittens into the gaps. His paws are almost 2 inches wide - so no chance. It would be really useful if the product listing included something like "only suitable for kittens and cats under 4 years old" or gave some dimensions for the sizes of paw that can access the slots/holes.

Great puzzle. My cat figured it out within 10min or so, much quicker than the treat ball. Use it often.

Cat can’t access any food at all from this because the grooves are ridiculously high. Total waste of money. Reviews aren’t for the right product they are for a puzzle toy. All the bad reviews are for the actual product. This is basically a scam
