Excellent mental stimulation for bored indoor cats
I have both the rainy day and the ladybug puzzles. Both of my cats (12 years old and 14 months old) each took a week or two to figure out the puzzles, and now I only wish this company made more similar puzzles. Nothing else that I’ve seen on the market is as high quality or as challenging while still being easy for cats to use. These are still a challenge for the cats, and the cats each get treats in one or the other of the puzzles (or the Catstages wobbly toy) daily. My friends who see my cats using these puzzles are always shocked at how “smart” my cats are. I think we often underestimate cats’ intelligence. Difficult puzzle toys like these provide very important mental stimulation for cats.

Excellent Puzzle Toy for Older Cats!
This cat puzzle is great, especially for my older cats!It’s a fairly easy puzzle, but they were definitely intrigued and interested. Once I showed them how the parts moved, they quickly figured out how to get their treats! It’s so fun to watch them engage with it.Highly recommend for senior cats needing a little mental stimulation!

Works for My Cat
Love this puzzle for giving my cat some mental stimulation. Very good quality and it’s nice and easy, good for beginners who haven’t done puzzles before. The only negative is that some of the pieces slide down too easily, moving on their own and revealing the treats without any work.

Very useful for engaging cat in “search” for food, and slowing food consumption in a food-driven cat
This is an interesting device to slow down my cat’s food intake. He was rescued from a cat colony and is extremely food driven, often gulping it down until he coughs. I have a “fingered” dish for his soft food, and use this for dry kibble and dry treats. This product appears to be designed for kittens as the “leaves” covering food divits are very loose and easily moved. The divits are small and difficult for the cat to get food from, even when using his paws to pull it out. He easily caught on to the workings but I’m pleased that as fast as he can go in finding and fishing out the food, it has improved his rate of consumption and he no longer chokes or coughs while eating. The sliders move easily and quietly, and the shape and size of the device is stable and resists being knocked over. The only issue we have with it is that the kibble can get caught between the base and top layer of the device (Science Diet standard size kibble) but it’s not enough of an issue to deduct any stars from the product.

Too easy!
My elderly cat is not particularly agile or smart, but he figured this puzzle out in a few minutes. Treats can be hidden under the leaves or red bugs, but all the cat has to do is push the plastic pieces around with nose or paw. The only brain power involved is remembering which ones he has already revealed. He loves this puzzle, but it doesn’t keep him busy for long. It is also quite large and ugly.He has another puzzle from the same company which hides treats in and underneath compartments with lids. That one is smaller, less expensive, more complicated, and keeps him occupied for a long time. The Catstages literature suggested that cats also enjoy their dog toys, so I’m looking at those too.

Great for clever cats
Our cat loves this puzzle! She figured it out pretty fast, but it does keep her busy for a while. The dog also attempted to join the fun, so I guess it’s fun for the whole crew!

Definitely recommend
Great quality especially for the price.Has rubber feet to keep from sliding around on smooth floors.One of the rotating green pieces is a little hard to turn, but didn’t stop my cat from getting into itI’ve only used dry treats so far, but I imagine cleaning would be fairly easy by just wiping, maybe rinsing under the sink.I wouldn’t use wet treats because I don’t know how easy it would be to clean the inside of the sliding pegs.Overall, my cat loves it, it’s fun to watch him figure it out, and it feels well built enough to last for quite a while. I definitely recommend this item

商品名は「猫用おもちゃ」なんだけど、うちではチワワ用の知育トイとして活躍してます。最初は「てんとう虫の形が可愛いし、小型犬でもいけるかな？」くらいのノリで買ったんですが、これが思った以上にハマってくれてます。本体はてんとう虫型で、上の赤いパーツがスライドしたり回ったりして、その下からフードやおやつが出てくるタイプのトリーツゲーム。うちのチワワは最初、「ん？ なにこれ？」って感じでクンクンするところからスタートだったんですが、ちょっとだけ手伝ってあげて仕組みを見せてあげたら、前足と鼻を上手く使ってスライドさせるコツをだんだん覚えていきました。小型犬でも扱いやすいポイントはこんな感じです：本体がそこまで大きくないので、チワワサイズでも怖がらずに近づける裏面に滑り止めが付いていて、フローリングでもそこまで暴れないパーツの動きが軽すぎず重すぎずで、「ちょっと頑張れば動く」絶妙な手応え完全に“がっつり噛んで遊ぶおもちゃ”ではなく、頭を使ってフードを取り出すタイプなので、雨の日で散歩が短くなっちゃったときとか、夜の“もう一遊び”にちょうどいい感じです。難易度としては、全くの初心者ワンコ：最初は人間が少しヒントを出してあげた方がいい慣れてきたワンコ：１ゲーム数分で全部出せるようになるかもというくらいなので、「難しすぎて心折れる」より「考えながら遊べて楽しい」寄りの知育おもちゃだと思います。一方で、犬に使うときに気をつけたほうがいいなと思った点もあります：噛みぐせが強い子だと、プラスチックのパーツを噛み壊そうとする可能性あり放置すると本体ごと引きずり回したりするので、必ず“人が見ている前提”で使うおもちゃフードやおやつのサイズによっては穴から出にくいことがあるので、小粒タイプが相性◎なので、「ひとり遊び用のおもちゃ」というよりは、飼い主がそばで見守りながら、一緒に遊ぶ知育タイム用っていうイメージが合ってます。【良かったところ】猫用だけど、小型犬（チワワ）でもサイズ感・構造ともに十分遊べるスライドや回転でフードを探す“頭を使う遊び”ができて、良い気分転換になる雨の日や散歩が短い日の“プラスアルファの運動＆刺激”としてちょうどいい底に滑り止め付きで、フローリングでもそこまで暴れない【気になったところ】噛み癖が強い犬種・子には、目を離すとパーツを噛み壊しそうで少し不安完全な“放置おもちゃ”には向かない（必ず見守り前提）フードは小粒タイプじゃないと出にくいことがある【まとめ】「猫用って書いてあるけど、小型犬でも遊べるかな？」と思いつつ試してみた結果、うちのチワワにはかなりヒットした知育トイでした。がっつり壊しながら遊ぶタイプのおもちゃじゃなくて、頭を使ってフードを探す“パズルゲーム”的な遊びをさせたいという飼い主さんには、猫・犬どちらにも候補に入れていいアイテムだと思います。小型犬で、好奇心強め＆フードモチベ高めな子には特におすすめです。

Super activity Spielzeug. Wurde gut angenommen.

My 5 month old Maine coon loves it. It’s good quality: sturdy, to hold him standing all over it (right now he is 4kg) : pieces are easy to move so he can get the reward for his efforts but still makes him work for it. It’s been a good way to introduce him to new places with the distraction of a treat, that lasts a bit longer than giving them to him by hand.
