Cat loves it!
Great cat puzzle! The puzzle is made out of a sturdy plastic and has non slip feet. The pieces slide and swivel without issue, and while you can hear them clicking as my cat does the puzzle it isn’t too loud. I really like that there are several difficulty levels as well. I started my kitty off easy and once she got the hang of that we moved her on to the harder options. Overall, she’s figured out the puzzle relatively quickly, but I would say it was definitely worth the money. She’s very engaged while she works on the puzzle and will actually come back to it throughout the day. I’m definitely interested in getting more puzzles from this company. Also it’s super cute!

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

Stimulates Her Mind and Belly
Got this to stimulate my lone cat’s mind after reading signs of boredom in cats. First time I used itI placed a single treat under each “leaf” and slide opening. The next morning everything was empty. Today iI placed several pieces of her regular dry food in each. A few moments ago she went right to the feeder and started playing and eating the contents. The color combinations are attractive to cats (looks like leaves and ladybugs) and get her attention. Hopefully it is stimulating her mind as well as feeding her belly. I will try various combinations of foods and treats to keep her stimulated. Wish they made one that you could put wet food in. Hopefully this will be durable enough to last a long time and wash well as it is plastic.

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.

Great easy treat puzzle!
This is a great cat puzzle. Compared to other puzzles I've tried, it's on the easier side, but the cats have no problem retrieving treats once the puzzle is solved. I use Greenies and they don't get stuck, and my cats don't have to paw at them to fish them out. They can just stick their face in it and eat it like kibble. This puzzle gives my cats some foraging entertainment without being too difficult.My cats are smart, but one of them is very stubborn, and refused to try this puzzle simply because it was a new challenge. She just wants me to pour the treats directly into her mouth lol. The truth is, it's pretty easy for them to nudge the leaves and bugs with their nose to get the treats by just following the scent, and all my stubborn cat actually had to do was collect the treats out of the holes after her sister had opened them all because there were always some left over, but she still refused. Eventually she gave it a try and was able to succeed pretty easily. Now they love doing it together.If you're looking for a simple puzzle to keep your cat preoccupied for a few minutes, this is a must-have.

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.

Just what the cat needs
This is perfect. I was feeling like my 10 year old cat wasn't getting enough stimulation and came across this. She loves her treats, and I love her having to work for them and eat them slowly. It took her a little bit to figure out, but not as long as I thought. She does it very carefully. Has a little trouble getting the treat out once she uncovers it. But that just adds to the time. It is a very solid contraption, very well made. For the price I was expecting something less solid, but was pleasantly surprised.

Awesome Puzzle for Cats
Great puzzle game for my bengal cat. She already understands the concept and is learning quickly! Keeps her active and curious so that she isn’t bored and decides to rip up my couch.
