Catstages Hunt N' Snack Mat - Interactive Slow Feeder Cat Game

Got this to try and control the amount of over-eating (and then puking) one of our cats was doing, and it works great.They have to fish around for the kibble instead of just going full hungry-hungry-hippo on it.You do have to make sure you shake it around a little when you fill it, because they are rather shallow and its easy for the food to just kind of mound up on top, which defeats the purpose, but thats a pretty small issue.

Seems good. It's shallow enough for a beginner trying out different feeding mat/bowl options. This is great for treats, kibble, and wet food. Easy to clean it out. It's just bigger than I anticipated it to be. I thought it was going to be small but it's around the size of a medium book and it's a thicker material.

The bowl does what you need it to do...slows down on how fast your cat eats! It's pretty easy to clean..the plastic is like a non stick material so that's makes things easier. The only thing I wish was different is the height of the inside design. It's pretty deep so my kitten can't reach all the food in the zig zag because of the design and depth. The wet food gets stuck in it. If the design was more of a "S" shape then a "Z" and not so deep then it would still slow her down and she'd be able to eat all her food. She gets frustrated and stops eating out of her bowl and goes to her brothers instead so I have to stand and watch her eat.

The media could not be loaded.  As a cat owner who is always on the lookout for engaging toys for my furry friend, I recently purchased a mouse cat toy that initially caught my eye due to its attractive design. The toy featured a cute mouse shape with feathers attached, which seemed perfect for stimulating my cat's hunting instincts. However, while the toy looked good, I was disappointed to find that the feathers came off easily, diminishing the overall durability and enjoyment of the toy.Upon receiving the mouse cat toy, my cat was immediately intrigued by the feathers and began to play with enthusiasm. The toy's design was visually appealing, and it seemed to capture my cat's attention effectively. The feathers added an element of movement and unpredictability, which encouraged my cat to engage in active play. In terms of initial impressions, the toy appeared to be a promising addition to our collection of cat toys.However, my enthusiasm quickly waned as I noticed that the feathers started to come off after only a short period of play. Although my cat is a gentle player, the feathers were not securely attached to the toy and began to detach easily. This not only resulted in a decrease in the toy's visual appeal but also posed a potential hazard to my cat if she were to ingest the loose feathers. The lack of durability was disappointing, as it limited the lifespan of the toy and failed to provide the engaging play experience I had initially anticipated.

I can see this works well and was made well. Just our cat wasn't having it and attempted to flip it and never actually ate anything out of it 🤦‍♂️

Our female cat has earned the nickname "Hoover" as she is known to vacuum up almost any food she can get to. Potato chips, spicy corn chips, even pickle slices- if she can get to it, she will eat it, or try to eat it. Any time we give her more than a tiny handful of kibble, she will invariably devour it so fast that it comes right back up. Our much slower eating boy cat had been very tolerant of her Hoovering up his food as well as her own, so we started feeding them in different rooms so he would get more than a small portion of food before she inhaled it all.As she can't be given more than a teaspoon's amount of food at a time (any more, and you will find yourself stepping in a pile of it on the carpet a few minutes later) we decided to look for a bowl that could slow down her eating. This bowl had decent reviews and was not expensive, so we gave it a try. It appears to be well-made, and not too difficult to clean- the channels in it are big enough to get a brush into.At first, "Hoover" was not pleased with this new food receptacle. At ALL. She could smell and see all those tasty nuggets that she usually made disappear within thirty seconds, but she couldn't get at them easily any longer. I could see she was frustrated, so I put down a few pieces of kibble right next to the new bowl. She gulped down this small bit of food, then looked at me, wanting more. I then tapped the bowl and "showed" her the kibble sitting in the channels of the bowl.At first, she walked away from this strange thing. Maybe her "real" bowl would re-appear, and she wouldn't have to deal with this kibble puzzle dish. She came back and checked out the new bowl again, and managed to get a few pieces of kibble out of it. I noticed she was shoving the bowl around with her paw on the cushion-y "placemat" we have under the cats' food and water. She got a few more pieces of kibble.She never flipped the bowl over entirely, which is what I was waiting for (and dreading.) The placemat we have keeps the bowl from moving around very much, so I can't attest to the bowl's "suction" (?) effectiveness. I just checked out the underside of the bowl, and don't see any suction cups or anything, but we keep their bowls on the cushy placemat anyway, so it's not going anywhere.She returned to the strange object that was holding her food hostage again and again, and each time managed to get out a few more pieces of kibble. I just checked the bowl, and there are about a dozen or so pieces of kibble sitting in it, which is amazing to see, as she is so strongly food-motivated.The bowl just arrived this afternoon, so I can't attest to its effectiveness in the long-term, but it seems to be a success so far. It has broken the feeding time cycle of giving her a tiny bit of kibble, her begging for more food, giving a tiny bit more kibble, then begging again, etc. I'll report back after a week or so. Hopefully, this new bowl will continue to keep our Hoover-cat on a lower setting.Edit: it's been about four days of her using the new bowl. As we saw that she had been leaving about half of the kibble in the bowl after eating (unheard of with a regular bowl) we increased the minimal amount of kibble we gave her to her entire morning portion. A day or so ago, if we checked the bowl after she appeared to finish eating, and there would be about seven to ten nuggets of kibble left. When she begged later, we just tapped the bowl. She got the message: if she wanted more kibble she would have to extract it from the bowl. ---- We noticed yesterday after giving her the evening's kibble allotment that the new bowl with its challenging channels was completely empty. She has figured out how to get all of the kibble out of her new bowl. After we fed her this morning, sure enough, she got all of the kibble out of it. But the bowl is still a success, as it has really slowed down her eating. In a way, she is now eating like a normal cat- and not like a fur-covered Dirt Devil. Very happy with our purchase, and if you have a Hoover kitty of your own, we highly recommend this bowl. :)

It looks great on display if that's something you care about, but it fails in two important areas-durabililty and slowing down eating. One week in, and my cat has picked apart the thin walls between the food compartments. The food compartments are fairly large, which allows the cat gulp down the food as usual. Looking at the reviews, it seems to work as a slow feeder for other cats though, so maybe mine has a smaller than usual face 🤷

I realize now in the specifications that it says the bowl is 5.91”, but one of the images shows it as 5” x 5”. In my rush to find a product that works, I bought four of these without checking all of the information, my mistake I realize, but I still consider it false advertising when they show a picture with false information. Bowls will not work for my use as they are too large.

Ótimo, aumentou bastante o tempo de alimentação. Comprei pra filhote de cachorro raça pequena.O material é bom.

Hace que mi gato coma con menos ansia y es suave para no lastimarlo, muy buena compra

Excelente plato para que tu mascota se acostumbre a comer despacio, pero recomiendo mas que consigas un juguete de esos que se les meten las croquetas dentro y les tiene que pegar para que salgan.Compre el plato y si me sirvió, pero aun veía que comía rápido y mejor decidí comprarle un juguete para que sacara las croquetas.El plato es excelente para gatos chicos y medianos. Mi gato no es de raza, pero se asemeja a un persa y es mas grande y gordo que un gato de la calle que sueles ser flaquitos y chicos.No tengo foto, pero es un plato pequeño. No lo recomiendo para perros medianos. Mas bien es para razas pequeñas como del tamaño de un gato adulto.

Der Anti-Schling-Napf tut genau das, was er soll und verspricht. Tolles Produkt!

Is wat het is,ook niet duur , leuk om poes bezig te houden 😀mijn poes moet er nog aan wennen 😉
