Cat It CA Design Senses Voederlabyrint

Groot succes, heeft vast voerbakje inmiddels vervangen.

I actually think designers should receive some public recognition for saving domestic cat lives.Cats in the nature tend to have many small meals instead of the large 1-2. Modern life is busy so people give domestic cat bowl of some dry food... and cat eats it in few minutes not even feeling that he/she is overfed. Not healthy at all. If cat had hungry 'on the street' life before - this is normal behaviour to think 'food is never enough'. Especially if cat has half-domestic life.This product solves majority of the problem. Cat is active, should apply some smartness and (main reason) stops when had enough.Small disadvantage - feeder is not fixed on the floor so our cat learned many ways to 'speedup the feeding process' by pulling and even shaking the feeder. But usually this happens only when she is really hungry and then goes to the 'normal mode' - 'one by one pulling'. So it is self-regulating process.Nothing to say this product comes with a lot of fun for the whole family.

Werkt goed, mijn kat had al snel door hoe de toren werkt. En eet nu velen malen rustiger dan voorheen.

Mijn katten houden ervan. Goed product. Snelle levering.

If you're a typical working adult like me, you spend hours away from your furry ones every single weekday. My 2 cats are very sociable and I always felt guilty about leaving them for so long. I always am looking for toys/activities to engage their minds while I'm away.I can tell you I am VERY pleased I decided to purchase this!I read the other reviews, positive and negative. There seemed to be a few that stood out the most to me:1.) The top is open, which allows for some people's cats to see the treats going in the top and have learned to just knock the maze over to get the treats.2.) There's not enough weight on the bottom to keep it from being knocked over.3.) it's annoying to listen to the food dropping/food goes everywhere.Here are some ideas to overcome those issues:1.) OPEN TOP - The minute I introduced my cats to this maze, I Never let them learn about the open top. I had an unused lock&lock container (with the locking tab lid) that fit in that top opening. The container itself fit down into the opening while the lid's tabs kept it from falling through. I put some washers in the container which gave it enough weight to not easily be knocked out. I assembled the maze, put that "makeshift top" on and they never knew about the existence of that opening. Yes some might think it looks a bit goofy, but what do I care? It works perfectly. (Although I wouldn't use anything TOO weighty on top; don't want it to hurt anyone if it is knocked over).2.) NOT ENOUGH WEIGHT - I agree with this, but you can put some sort of weight underneath it, or glue/nail it to a small piece of wood. I actually didn't have to do anything with mine; yes it has been knocked over a few times, but so has Everything else in my house at one time or another, that wasn't nailed to the ground :) Mine may not knock over so easy either, since I use the container on top to conceal the opening; possibly it gives it just enough weight?3.) ANNOYING TO LISTEN TO/MESSY - honestly then, why buy it? You see what it does in the picture. I don't think the purpose of this maze to REPLACE your cat's food dish entirely. If you're feeding them their complete meals out of this every day, I can see how the constant sound and food everywhere might get irritating. Maybe use it for half their meals or only use it for treats?I still feed mine regularly from their bowls, but I cut back on the amount they receive in their bowls, and then add that portion (the remainder) of their meal to the maze.It's also a great distraction/reward tool. When I go to leave for work every morning, I take some of their treats and put them in the maze. They are so excited because they get treats... and I am happier that they are not crying at the door as soon as I close it. They are focused on the maze instead.All that being said; yes it has a few design flaws, but it serves its purpose Very Well. I am very happy I decided to purchase it. It stimulates their minds and is entertaining to watch them figure it out.

Bengal cat learned how to tip it.

We bought this for our cat to slow down his eating. Previously, he'd hork down his food in about 7 seconds flat and then hurl it back up. I didn't want to buy one of those slow-feed bowls with the baffles since we'd still have to feed him 3-4 times a day to stop him from over eating all at once, so I looked for some sort of interactive feeder. Settled on this one since it was a reasonable price (much cheaper than the electric automatic feeders) and seemed easy enough for the cat to figure out.For the first few days, I'd put a bit of the food in the bottom to help him get the idea, but he figured it roughly within an hour. After about a week he's mastered poking a few bits at a time from each level. Its drastically lengthened the time he takes to eat and he also seems to be willingly eating less per sitting. I don't have to split his food up over the course of the day, he will stop eating and return later on his own. His measured food usually lasts until late evening now. He does seem more playful as well and often tears around with his toys for awhile after eating.The product does have some design flaws that may or may not cause problems for you. Firstly, the top has a hole large enough for a cat to get its face through. Larger/smarter cats might just stand up and eat from the top tray. Its an easy fix, cut a circle of cardboard or plastic and hot glue it down. Secondly, the bottom isn't weighted at all. If your cat really wants to knock it over there is nothing to stop them. Ours has only managed to do this once. If it keeps up, I will just bolt the bottom down to a bit of wood or something heavy.Overall, I have no complaints about the product. Our cat is very timid and doesn't really climb or knock things over so I haven't had to modify the feeder in anyway. If he gets smart, its an easy fix to prevent toppling. Your mileage may vary, especially if your cat is more prone to being a jerk and knocking it over. These seem to be common complaints, so hopefully the manufacturer will take notice and the next version will have a flap on the top and weighted bottom.

Ero già in possesso della pista per pallina di questa linea e ho deciso di acquistare questo prodotto per la mia gattina che consumava la sua razione di croccantini troppo in fretta.La gattina ha subito imparato ad usarla.Come accessorio fa il suo dovere: rallenta il pasto, stimola l'animale a mangiare in più volte e stimola il suo istinto predatorio. Ci sono più livelli di difficoltà, ma devo dire che è piuttosto semplice far cadere i croccantini.UNICA PECCA: tra la pista e il labirinto rimane un piccolo spazio in cui spesso cadevano i croccantini e la gattina non riusciva a prenderli e nel tentativo di recuperarli spostava leggermene il labirinto, con il risultato che trovavo numerosi croccantini sotto di esso e per lei irraggiungibili. Per ovviare a questo problema problema alla fine ho inserito un tubo di plastica nello spazio e adesso funziona perfettamente ed è anche più stabile.Il labirinto è piuttosto leggero e quindi credo che senza la pista possa essere facilmente ribaltato, specialmente in questa versione del prodotto. Consiglierei l'acquisto della versione 2.0 (quella verde), che è dotata di una base unica invece che del tappetino, che è piuttosto inutile.
