## Description

From the manufacturer Nina Ottosson by Petstages - Cat Puzzle Games Curious Cats Need to Play! Cats need to be challenged. That’s why our cat puzzle toys are the perfect way to keep cats playing. While humans use vision to navigate their world, cats use their keen sense of smell to gather information, problem-solve, and hunt for food. By providing your cat with daily treat puzzles, you are enriching their life in ways that other toys and activities don’t. Always Supervise Play together and supervise your cat closely. If your cat wants to chew on the treat puzzle, correct & redirect their behavior. Start over as quickly as possible, and get their attention back on the treats. Buggin' Out Puzzle & Play Cat Game Savor the Flavor! Puzzle feeders are great for fast-eating cats because they slow down their eating pace. You can use all kinds of treats or food in our puzzles, and you can even use wet food in the compartments in the base. 16 hidden treat compartments Stimulates natural foraging instincts Encourages healthy eating pace Keeps cats occupied No removable parts for safer play Easy to clean with soap & water BPA, PVC & phthalate free Durable composite material How to Play Start Simple When introducing a treat puzzle to your cat, start simple. Fill compartments with tasty treats or food and leave them uncovered and visible. Place the puzzle where your cat usually eats and have patience! Cats like to investigate new things several times before deciding if they want to engage with them. Increase the Difficulty When your cat feels comfortable eating from the treat puzzle, the next step is to cover the food so that it is still a little visible. When your cat understands how it works, make the puzzle progressively more difficult by covering the treats or food according to the instructions. Try a New Level Our treat puzzles are available in different difficulty levels. Intermediate suits all playful and food-motivated cats. Advanced is great for active or smart cats who like challenges. Meet Nina Ottosson I created my first puzzle toy more than 25 years ago because I needed a way to keep my pets active indoors. I couldn't imagine how many pet parents my games would help. I continue to be inspired by the success stories of cats & kittens who have become happier, healthier & better behaved using my products. I hope you will all have as much fun playing with these games as I've had making them. All the best, Nina

Review: Solid bit 'a kit! - This is a great treat/food dispenser that my cats love. It's fun to watch them figure out where the food is and how to score! Solid bit of kit for cats and their hoomuns😻
Review: This is Fun. Great to Keep Cat stimulated. - My son’s cat, who visits us as well as we live in the same close, enjoys this puzzle. We set this up for when he visits us. He had it sussed out quite quickly but he’s a very good motivated cat. It slows him down eating and makes him use his skills to work it out. There’s one frustrating design point, but guess this depends on the type/brand of cat crunchies you use. We use Blink & Wainwrights which are small flat circular biscuits. These crunchies annoyingly slide between the two layers of the board (between the red and green layers) so we put the cruchies in the little cups, and as shadow licks them out they sometimes slide under the top board and get wedged under the red layer around the outside of the cup. Shadow then gets frustrated trying to claw it out as he can see and smell it but can’t get it out 😔. You have to tip the board upside down and shake it to get them out. That’s the only downside. It’s not a problem but it is a pain. I bought this on a discounted price of £9.99. I wouldn’t have paid more to be honest. This was a good price. Very happy and good for shadow to be challenged.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why is this white one $66.00 when the other two are $19.00?**
A: Prices have been corrected.

**Q: Can this be mounted vertically? Like inside a crate? Have a kitty with a hurt leg that needs to bw crated dor a while and want to keep her occupied.**
A: I suppose it can be. I feed my cat pate so that would not fall out of the bowl. Something more runny would not stay in the bowl.

**Q: Will the Instinct Raw Boost Mixers fit in this or be too big for it?**
A: too big

**Q: Do you think a full-grown pet rat could easily move the pieces? This looks like a fun way for my lazy boys to "work for their food"!**
A: Yes, a small pet could move these puzzle pieces to expose the treats.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, but easily/quickly solved
*by E***W on 26 February 2026*

My cat is an indoor one, so keeping him occupied and mentally stimulated is important. He isn’t super interested in you play for long, so puzzle feeders are great. This one is cute, easy to use, fairly straightforward to clean and is sturdy. Unfortunately, it didn’t take long for my cat to figure it out, so I alternate it with others.
