Cat Amazing HEX – Interactive Treat-Hunt Puzzle Feeder

These people are geniuses! This keeps one of my cats (the smart one) entertained for HOURS at a time. It's so enriching for her and she never gets bored of it. My other cat is literally too stupid to get a single piece of food out (he's a sweetheart but he's not very bright). The second I built the box he looked at it and went "oh i'm not smart enough for this" which is perfect cuz he's kinda chunky and the smart cat actually needs like twice the amount of food as the dumb cat. So I just feed her an extra scoop of kibble every day in this thing. (Sometimes the dumb one will get a piece of kibble that falls out when I'm pouring it into the box- that makes him very excited. Oh to be so blissfully ignorant) She has learned to ask for more when she's hungry (she'll meow at me and then sprint to the box). She seems SOOOO much happier having this box in her life. I think she was a bit bored without it. Back in June the box got infested with ants (do watch out for that if you leave food in there) and I threw it out. She was so bummed/bored without it. So I quickly got her a replacement. One thing I'll flag: the flaps on the bottom can trap food- like they'll get pushed up and food will get stuck underneath them. (I think this is partially what attracted the ants). When I bought the second box, I glued the bottom flaps down and it's been a HUGE improvement. She'd not getting frustrated by trapped/stuck kibble and no ants have come for the box thus far!

It was easy to assemble. You can add small toys inside if you like. So far, my cat is not bored from this toy.

I have to say, this is also a puzzle for humans, since assembly is required, but the company's assembly video was very easy to follow. This is a great treat puzzle for cats. Mine figured out how to use it right away and were actually able to get treats out with some effort. I was concerned about that after the abysmal failure of a fabric carrot puzzle I got them that was so impossible, and made them so hopeless, that they wouldn't even eat treats straight off the floor anymore. But this one is great! They can both use it without arguing over territory since there are 6 sides and many holes. They cooperate nicely together. Our smaller cat figured out she could stick her entire head into the biggest hole on the top, so hopefully her dingbat antics won't result in a cardboard mini crisis. This puzzle does slide around a lot on linoleum, so I put it on a silicone mat to keep it from moving, which seems to work quite well. If you want to preoccupy your cat for awhile, I recommend this puzzle. It will keep them entertained at snack time.

This is actually a pretty great puzzle toy for the reason that it doesn’t require JUST food like every other puzzle toy on the market. It’s pretty easy to put together (though I would say the instructions weren’t as clear as they could’ve been). It’s pretty sturdy cardboard too, which is nice. But, again, the best part about it is that it’s big enough to stick toys in there. My cat *loves* his plastic springs, and now I can make them more stimulating for him to dig them out. Same with his mouse toys. Will say, putting treats in here is actually a bit more difficult. I’ve found my cat actually kinda struggles to get the small stuff out as there’s no real short ledges at the bottom. But again, it’s cardboard so if you wanna go more treat focused, ya can just take scissors to it. So yeah, great puzzle choice without increasing your cat’s belt size! Lol.

Was looking for a puzzle toy that didn't have any silicone/soft plastics or incredibly inedible parts, as our cats love eating things they shouldn't. They love this toy. Did they destroy certain parts of it by ripping it to get at the treats? Yup. Still quite functional after a few months and keeps 2 of them entertained for about 15-20 minutes, since they've now made cheat holes to get to the treats easier.
