This is a very good puzzle feeder for most cats. My boy got too good at it and I needed to get him a more challenging one (the intellikat bowl), but it works really well for my friends' cats. The "hunting" stimulates and slows them down, and definitely keeps them from overeating from boredom as much. If your cat is moving it around too much, put it on a silicone mat or connect those adhesive Velcro strips to the bottom of the bowl and where you want it to stay.
Warning: Stepping on this is like stepping on a Lego tower - and it will bring tears to your eyes and words to your lips.

Green Slow FeederGreen is a revolutionary way to slow a dog’s eating to savour his food. Many dogs lack mental stimulation which can lead to boredom and unwanted behaviours such as chewing. The Green keeps dogs mentally stimulated during feeding time, helping to reduce these behaviours. Simply scatter the desired amount of food across the Green. The dog will then enjoy the challenge of pushing the food out between its many 'blades' of grass. Green works with wet (tinned), dry and raw food (BARF). What are the benefits of Green? Green slows down eating time which can reduce the risk of bloat* - a potentially fatal disease for any dog. By prolonging eating, the risk of vomiting, gagging, gas and belching is also significantly reduced, resulting in a happier and healthier dog. A study showed that eating too quickly increases the risk of bloat by 15%. Feeding one large meal a day can also increase the risk of bloat. 30% of dogs that suffer from bloat do not survive. |
Sizes & Key InformationThe Green has been designed so that one size can be used for all dogs, regardless of weight and breed. It is made of hard plastic (without phthalates) and is dishwasher safe, making it perfect for both inside and outdoor use. But for those smaller dogs and puppies, our new Green Mini is perfectly suited. Key Information: Just scatter your dog's dinner across the Green. Mentally Challenge your dog with every meal. Actually see your dog enjoy working for his food. Slow down fast-eaters and reduce the risk of 'bloat'. Ideal for those on a restricted calorie diet. Dishwasher safe and phthalate free. |
Catch Interactive Feeder for CatsCatch is a revolutionary way to turn your cat’s meal into a challenging game. Many cats lack mental stimulation which can lead to boredom. By entertaining your cat using their own food to stimulate their natural instincts and ability to catch food with their paws, you can help to remove these problems. The desired amount of cat food is scattered across the Catch and it is up to your cat to push or grab the food between the many smoothly rounded spikes. Catch will help to significantly prolong your cat's eating time. Helping to make your cat happier and healthier at the same time. It is made of hard plastic (without phthalates) so is extremely durable and dishwasher safe. For extra variety with your cats' feeding routine the Catch is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. |

A good item for the clever kitty, but it may be hit or miss
I got this for my 3 month old kitten, as he is VERY smart and VERY active. I knew I couldn't enforce him eating all his kibble out of it if he didn't go for it, since he's just a baby and needs to eat as much as he wants to grow. So this review is written from a slightly different perspective than most who are using it either to slow down cats who scarf their food, or encourage overweight cats to be more active in their food acquisition. At first he didn't know what to do with it. Having smaller paws, I knew it should be relatively easy for him to get in the crevices, compared to adult cats. He just stared at it. I tried to show him what to do....still nothing. I gave up and put it away for a few weeks. At the same time, my husband had created a makeshift game for him to get treats, out of 2 IKEA "Marius" stools. The stools have roughly one inch diameter holes in the top, and he would stack the two on top of one another, creating a space between the two stools where he would place the treats. Kitty has to reach into either the holes or between the edges of the stools to smack the treats out. (Hang in there with me, I'm going somewhere relevant with this!) So after kitty mastered that game, we needed to make it harder for him. Hubby had the brilliant idea to put this feeder below the stool, so that sometimes when he would smack the treat out, it would fall into the feeder, creating a second level of game to get the treats. At this point kitty had still never used the feeder successfully so I wasn't very hopeful. However he immediately reached right in and started working on getting that treat! Perhaps something about the context of the game made him realize what he needed to do, or made him *willing* to do it. I still don't force him to get all his kibble from it, but he now uses it successfully. Moral of the story is that you may need to give your cat several chances and several contexts to understand the feeder. If you start them young, I'd say all the better. I can imagine my old adult cat would never have bothered with it.

I have two cats - they both came to me from my current roommate. Both of them were puking regularly either from grooming (one of them is long haired so I took to brushing and de-shedding him too to help) or from eating too fast (which the other does... he’ll gulp dry food without chewing)
In comes this tool. The cat that eats too fast immediately understood what was going on and was all for it. He even purred while figuring it out the first time! The other cat, the long haired one, isn’t as food motivated but I’m watching him use the bowl right now!
This slows down their eating considerably and I have super high hopes. This kind of bowl is seemingly making them eat less too since they’re savoring the food some more. The cats are able to pull this thing around with their paws so I may look into stabilizing it. For anyone who is worried about their pets poking out their eyes or if it’s too hard to get food out, let me alleviate some concerns:
1. The cat that eats too fast is a polydactyl cat. He’s got huge oven mitts for paws! He was still able to use this easily.
2. Even though I worry about my cats’ safety, I’m not worried about them using this dish. The “spikes” are rounded at the tip and I don’t see them poking their eyes out or hurting themselves with this.
As a bonus, I know some cats care about using bowls because of their whiskers. It forces them to eat on a flat surface after “catching” their food so they should have no qualms about eating. 😊
I’m really happy with this out of the box and glad these guys can work for their food (and have the polydactyl boy lose some weight too!!)
