Cats are intelligent animals and made for hunting. Let them work and play for their food with a variety of different puzzles. Different designs to suit both wet and dry foods, have a browse but also feel free to contact me for suggestions.
Ca-Tumbler Cat Foraging Toy
$16.50This is a really cool foraging toy for cats. It’s different to the typical treat ball, while also being fairly light and not too difficult for our feline friends.
The orange cat figure appears on each design, you can slide him around to block part of the opening in the side of the toy to adjust the difficulty. Take a look at the video tab to see Num Num learn to use the toy. The normal opening is on the lower part of each toy and it bobs back and forth on its’ weighted base. Each design has a small opening in the top of the toy too, the Sunflower design has the largest opening and food can also come out of this if your keen cat pushes it around far enough!
Nina Ottosson Food Maze (Red & Yellow)
$23.80It wobbles and spins around, so the treats pass through the maze inside and then fall out. Amuses, entertains and activates.
Put treats in the hole at the top on both sides of the Food Maze. Your pet has to work with nose and paw to get the Food Maze in motion so that it wobbles, rocks and sometimes spins around, so that the treats pass through a maze inside on both sides and then fall out through the openings on both top and bottom.
Suitable for cats and small to medium dogs. It can be used inside or outside. Let your pet play for their food and feed part or all of their meal in the Nina Ottosson Food Maze. Perfect for both slow and fast eaters.
JW Treat Tower (2 Sizes)
$31.40 – $39.20The Treat Tower toy made by JW is a clever design with an adjustable level of difficulty. It sits upright, with a weighted base, until pushed by a paw or nose. When pushed it wobbles, spins, rolls and tilts, releasing treats as it does. There are 3 levels within the toy and each has opening(s) into the next level. At the bottom level there are openings for the food to fall out for your pet to retrieve. The unpredictable movement keeps the toy challenging, even for seasoned foragers and thanks to the 3 different opening sizes within the levels, you can adjust the difficulty of the toy for different biscuit sizes or to make it harder as your pet learns. The Treat Tower can be used as an alternative to a food bowl to help slow and extend mealtime while providing exercise for your pet. Unscrews for easy cleaning, though it is easily filled from the top without having to open it all up.
The Treat Tower comes in 2 sizes, the small is suitable for dogs under 12kg and cats. While the large is for dogs over 12kg (or for smaller dogs that you would like to provide a more difficult challenge). Both sizes have the same number of levels, however the small has only 1 opening per level and the large has 2 openings per level. They both have 3 different size options for these openings.
The bottom level (where the food exits for your pet to retrieve) has 4 openings that are not adjustable, however you can cover some of these openings internally if you’d like to. See the last image for an example.Aikiou Feline Treat Fish

The Aikiou treat fish can be easily filled by turning it over and squeezing it so that the length-ways opening changes shape to allow easy filling.

The fluffy toy hanging from the top encourages play and the top half of the Wobbler is see-through so your cat can not only smell, but see what they’re working for.
Just like the dog Wobbler, the cat Wobbler unscrews for easy filling and cleaning. The bottom half is weighted which makes it bounce back up between tugs and play.
