We bought this feeder to try and slow down our cat's eating. He understood the concept immediately and he seems to enjoy having a little game to play to get the biscuits. And now sometimes he even leaves some biscuits to come back to later, whereas before he would eat his whole meal in one go and beg for more immediately. I can see how some cats will not get it how it works or enjoy doing this, so it won't be for everyone.

This is a good quality product and so far is serving its purpose. I have 3 cats and they all have a go but 2 are bored quite quickly and give up.. the other persists and enjoys fishing the food out so overall I’m very happy with it. I will use more as I want them to eat much less dry food

Our British Shorthair is very food motivated and this is effective at stopping her wolfing down a feed in a couple of gulps. The food disappeared so quickly she forgot she'd had a meal! Now she knows she's been fed, though she does a good impression of looking starving to con different family members! I can't imagine using wet food in here - we have only used dried. The smaller nibbles are better as it takes longer.

When I adopted my cat he would eat his biscuits really quickly then throw them back up. I quickly bought this feeder which he took to immediately and has solved the problem completely. He has a second feeder now, but he always goes for this one first so it's clearly the favourite! I would thoroughly recommend.

I am embarrassingly happy with this purchase - I’ve already sent photos and links to other cat owners, and we’ve only had it a few days Our cat is very big, and very nervous. He is known to eat very quickly and throw up. This feeder slows him down and seems to calm him down. He takes a lot longer to eat and will even leave some biscuits for later! It’s smooth plastic, very sturdy and easy to clean (despite the “tongues”). It’s also big, so keep that in mind.

Feeder is larger than expected - big enough for 2 or 3 cats to feed at once. 1 siamese took to it straight away whilst the other looked at me as if to say "You expect me to work for my food"! Its solidly made so they can hook out the food without it moving around the floor.

I bought this for my cat shortly after adopting him two years ago because he wolfed his biscuits down then threw them back up! This instantly helped and he even leaves a few biscuits for later now. I bought a second puzzle feeder too but this is definitely his favourite. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone.

In the endless search for ways in which to keep my food-obsessed cat amused and/or not regurgitating this is without doubt the best purchase I've made. He clocks feeding balls, towers, food puzzles etc etc within days, scoffing the lot in seconds and then kindly leaving furry parcels outside my bedroom for me to step in the next morning, but this has kept him going for months. He's fast with it these days, absolutely, but in terms of slowing him down (relatively speaking) and keeping his weight down this has been a godsend. If your cat has a one track food mind like mine, to the extent that nothing - and I mean NOTHING - gets between him and his food, this is a must.

This has been very good at getting my cat to slow down his eating and to have slightly smaller portions by sometimes leaving some food for later. I've only used it with dry food so far. It is easy to fit into the washing-up bowl and to clean and towel dry. The four feet pads on it are small so it does move slightly sometimes on the (unpolished) wooden flooring. Overall - very good.

I've got two cats and they both used to gulp down their food like crazy! The prongs mean that they now eat slower and not so frantically. At the beginning, one of my cats refused to use this but with some coaxing (and some demonstrating!), this is no longer a problem! :) I wouldn't use wet food with this, as they eat the food from their paws and that could get your floor dirty!

Unwrap, fill with food and away you go - even our cat showed a lot of perseverance with this feeder (not usually his strong suit)! It is stylish and easy to clean, plus it's non-slip so it doesn't move too much at dinner time. Highly recommended!
