This is an example of a fairly overly complicated toy that may have been too smart for its own good. This is a toy we actually have that I haven’t actually written a review for, because I’m still trying to get Beau to learn how to use it. ![]() Pet Intelligence Toy PYRUS Eco-friendly Interactive Fun Hide and Seek Food Treated Wooden Pet Paw Puzzle Toy The makers of this toy recommend you use catnip to help introduce your cat to this product which may actually cause your cat to play with this toy even without food! The issue with a number of feeder toys is the complicated nature that they present, and while some cats are able to solve complicated puzzle toys, it’s best to ease your cat in slowly so they don’t lose interest altogether. Using rungs/dowels to hide the kibble, this toy is a great introduction to feeder toys for cats. MMB Hide n’ go Treat cat Intelligence Toy Treat and Puzzle FeederĪlthough extremely simple, this is a pretty cool interactive cat toy. It somewhat ties to the above concern, however, I would fix this problem with some tape on 3 of the holes (or two, dependant on how much drops.) It should be a fairly easy toy to teach your cat how to play with, especially since it uses the classic kitten bat that cats are so famously known to do! My only other concern about this product is whether or not this toy will continue to spin or if there’s a chance that it will stay facing down and drop the majority of your cat’s food. My absolute favourite thing about this toy is the fact that it also features a puzzle tray, which in itself can be a fairly useful feeder toy. My only concern is that the holes are going to be too big for the kibble causing them to just fall out, similar to the SlimCat ball, although we found a way to quickly solve that problem. What I like about this toy is the fact that it has multiple sized holes for both treats and food. Food is dispensed when your cat hits one of the lips of this toy. It’s a very, very reasonable price and is a great introduction to cats who have not been previously introduced to feeder toys. Similar to the toy above, this is a less intricate feeder toy that teaches cats how to slide doors to get the food that they want. Moonper Puzzle Feeder for Pet Dog Puppy Cat Treat Dispenser Food Puzzle Bowl Feeder Toys I would recommend a toy like this for intermediate cats who have tried out a couple of feeder toys prior, however, your cat may be the genius this toy needs! We have a toy similar to this one which took Beau a few weeks to figure out, and while Beau is fairly quick at learning how to play with new toys and feeders, these ones provided him with a great challenge (which I thought was great.) This toy will teach your cat how to slide open areas, pull on strings, pull on levers and remove objects from their enclosures. ![]() While this toy won’t get your kitty to run around or lose weight, it does provide a fairly complicated series of puzzles they must solve to get their food. It’s been one of my favourite toys to use with my cats and is very suitable for beginner puzzle solving cats! I cannot recommend this toy enough! ![]() This activity center helps teach your cat how to scoop out food, move food between pegs, slide food between wavy ridges, claw out of small holes and paw into an enclosed area. My sister actually gifted my cats this amazing activity centre which features 5 different ways to play. I’m going to start off strong with a product I own which is an absolute blast for both of our cats. As soon as we started using toys such as Catit Senses 2.0 Feeder, Beau would actually ration his food out over 18-hours, which was quite impressive for such a piggy kitty! We also noticed that although Walker knew how to ration his food out throughout the day (as he was originally open fed), Beau would scarf down as much food as he could even if he was still full. We originally were interested in feeder toys because our cats were eating way too fast and would throw up. ![]() If you’re new to feeder toys, welcome to the awesome work of keeping your cat engaged and entertained! Feeder toys have been part of our lives for about 4 years now and have really saved us from a lot of problems. So I thought I’d compile a list of my favourite puzzle feeders, some which I’ve tried and some which I really want to try in the very close future. Although my cats have been switched onto a primarily wet food diet, it doesn’t mean I stopped using feeder toys for what little kibble I do feed them. I’ve always been a huge fan of puzzle feeders and interactive feeder toys, especially since one of my kitties has Pica.
