My tomcat started using the activity board straight away. He can spend a long time and really focus on it. Unfortunately, he drags it all around the flat because it doesn’t have any rubber feet underneath to stop it from sliding. But for him, that’s just part of the fun. The cat, on the other hand, has never been interested in it. Instead, she enthusiastically chases treats – and unfortunately birds too, whenever she gets the chance. Cats are just different; some are tech enthusiasts, while others are sporty nature lovers.

My cat loves the feeding toy. Not only is it great for keeping her entertained, but it also encourages smaller, more frequent meals instead of gobbling everything down at once. The only downside is that, since the product isn’t very heavy, it slides around on the carpet despite the felt stoppers...

My little tomcat enjoys fishing out the dry food. Perhaps some of the gaps could be a bit smaller. Easy to clean.

I have a greedy cat and this slows him down. Works well. Just wish it came in a less bright colour option-why purple??? it would not go with many people's decor!

One of my three cats figured it out quickly and loves using it. Our big Maine Coon is frustrated because his paws are too thick, and he can't easily get to the treats.

One of my cats was eating her food really quickly and would finish in half the time of the others. This bowl has been really effective in slowing her down. She very quickly learnt how to scoop and pick up the food using her paw. I started off having the food at the edge of the bowl to make it a little easier. Now I just pop it in a leave her to it. Only reason it didn't get 5 stars is that it does slide on the floor, but I have put it on a silicone mat which has done the trick.

We needed an alternative to the feeding maze for our three fluffballs, as our smallest one always hogs it. The Karlie looks good, doesn’t smell of plasticisers, and our two "little ones" love patiently fishing out their dry food here. Finally, no more gulping and throwing up! However, our fluffy 8kg lady can barely get her extra-large paws into the gaps. She can only snag a few pieces around the edges; the ones in the middle are out of her reach.

My cat has been housebound with a lame hind leg, and I bought this as a way to keep her entertained (she is usually very much an outdoor cat, so is hating being stuck indoors). She worked out how to get the treats out very quickly, but she enjoys scooping them out with her paw. The feeder slips a bit, even on a rug, but she doesn't seem to mind that. She likes anything that means she gets more treats, so this has been a success!

Our Persian cat LOVES dry food. And since it's only offered in toys, she’s now the ruler of the snack ball and puzzle board. The new shape, colour, and texture of this toy seemed interesting, but the level of difficulty was more of a joke to her. In no time at all, the food was fished out and eaten. For that, just a "good". The old plastic tub from the gummy bears was definitely more challenging. But I think the idea and design are really great. And it doesn’t smell like plastic either.
