Great Distraction for Energetic Cat
My cat has lots of energy and sometimes I just need a distraction. This is great for my cat who is food motivated, smart, and loves to play. The quality is good, it slides well and is a good size for a variety of treats. Plus, the different levels means we can mix it up and keep him entertained.

Engaging toy for treats!
This lady bug treat dispenser keeps my cat interested for 30 minutes at a time. I can set it up at night and she will play when she wants a treat. She learned how to find treats in 2 days and knows what it is. When I bring it out she supervises me while I load it. Works better with larger treats like regular Greenies. Smaller treats take a lot of digging out. Good investment!

Great enrichment
Overall, the product seems to be durable and made really well, and I like the colors. Itâs also easy to set up with the treats and everything that moves does so very easily. so far my cat seems to have shown only a mild interest, But I use it for a small amount of time a few days a week to get him used to it, and the instructions provided were helpful for knowing what steps to take to get my cat comfortable with it.He seems to have gotten the hang of the swivel pieces â my only complaint is that there is a small gap between the cup and the surface of the device which causes flatter treats to get stuck. This means he has trouble getting the treat out, and essentially pushes his entire nose against the edge to get it, and I imagine that itâs not super comfortable.Still, itâs a good toy that forces him to think a little and it mimics foraging for food. And I think itâs a good value for the money as it seems it will last a lo if while.

Wasn’t sure how my cat would feel… and well…
I had been wanting to get some kind of slow feeder for my cat’s occasional dry food. She has been hesitant to other kinds of puzzles, so I was scared to get this for her. Well, she LOVES it. I started out by just putting a scoop on top of the puzzle so she would know it’s for her. She immediately took to covering and uncovering the little holes and sliding the raindrops and pegs. It’s been about a month now and I can now cover all of the holes, and she will solve it. I feel like this is the perfect starter puzzle because it has the option to make it harder but also gives the opportunity to be easier if needed.The only downside I can see is that it is a little difficult to clean. If you plan on using it for dry food, it shouldn’t be a major issue, but I would say skip it for wet food.I highly recommend this product for my fellow cat parents. Adorable product that is just right for my buddy <3

Decent but not great
Bought this to help with my cats boredom while I work. She messed around with it a little but lost interest within a day. To be fair sheâs a picky cat. I think this would work well for easily entertained cats. I thought it might work for my girl because sheâs food motivated but even that didnât keep her engaged with it. Thatâs why I donât think itâs a better score. Would likely be good for some cats but not pickier ones.

Almost Returned – Patience Gets the PRIZE!
At first my two cats completely ignored this, wouldn’t even look at it when coaxed. I first put Churu in it and they sort of briefly sniffed and walked away. Then I put Greenies in it and they paid a little more attention but still MEH.I let it sit for a day and tried again, showing them and letting them eat one. Later I filled all the areas and WHA LAH! My male cat has been playing with it for H O U R S. He has managed all the spots and after filling it again later is still enthralled. It’s so fun to watch them try and then get it. GREAT TOY, best out of the $100 in toys I just got them.

This is great!
I wanted a puzzle for my kitten because she loves any kind of challenge or obstacle. This is perfect for her! It took her a few tries to get the hang of it but now sheâs mastered it! I love the colors, she is always attracted to the color red so it was easy to get her attention over to it. Itâs also well made and safe to use. It generally takes about 10minutes to complete the puzzle just using the ladybugs. She loves treats so she sometimes clears it faster lol. Anyways we love this puzzle!

I have a tuxedo so she’s pretty smart and figured this out pretty quickly. She still loves it, though, and rubs against me constantly while I’m filling it and when I was showing her how it worked. Feels made of good quality parts that slide nicely and provide some fun and enrichment for my cat. If you have an orange cat or other braincell-challenged variety, they might have trouble figuring out that the red bugs release a hidden treat if you slide it back and forth lol

Le costó un poco entender cómo usarlo, pues mi gato querÃa arrancar las cosas en vez de deslizar pero con varios juegos poco a poco se fue dando cuenta, la rueda fue lo que más le costó pero eso está bien porque asà se entretiene. Le gusta mucho, se emociona al verlo, se satisface si le pongo su comida en todos los espacios y es fácil de limpiar
