Trixie Cat Activity Fun Board

Useless if you have a cat with big paws!

My rescue, Sparky, wasn't neutered until he was about 3 years old so is a broad boy with big paws that struggles to fit into any of the bowls/gaps/etc of this toy. Going to give it to a neighbour who's adopting a kitten soon and hopefully it might get some use and will update my review.

Great intro to interactive toys!

At first glance I actually thought it would be too easy for them. The board was bigger than expected and I thought the gaps would be very easy for them to get to. Within seconds they’d gotten a treat, and I thought it would be over in minutes. Boy was I wrong! Some things are just easier than others, and they had a good half hour on it before they got everything. (Bare in mind there’s two of them at it!) The fish bowls were torture for Calvin, he just couldn’t understand it bless him!

Sturdy and challenging

Both of my cats had to put some effort to get the treat :) Most challenging are jars - cats managed to take out some of the treats, but left a few as got bored after several attempts. Overall good product, sturdy and quite heavy, so cats won't flip it over.

Amazing

My kitten really enjoys play with it

Perfect for elderly cats!

I have an 18 year old cat with multiple health problems including epilepsy. She is very food orientated & will do anything for thrive chicken treats. This keeps her busy for at least 20 minutes at a time. She has arthritis, but, this is helping keep her legs less stiff & certainly her mind active. When she has finished, my tiny Burmese polishes off the rest. It is also too small for my Maine coon to get his paws into - so, can we have one for the larger kitties too please? Slots are very narrow.

Good training

Milo found difficult to get food/treats from the board for a couple of days, but he kept trying, and now he became an expert getting his rewards from the of the tasks. Still shy to get around the little bowls and the raised individual compartments.

Great entertaining fun

Brought this to entertain my two indoor cats and they love it!

Peeks Interest Occasionally

We wanted to get more toys that my (then 10 month old) mini panther could amuse himself with when he is home alone. I find it works well and it is used only if not left out for long periods. I bring it out only occasionally, otherwise he is not interested and just totally ignores it.

Brilliant and robust

This activity board slowed Achilles right down at mealtime. He used to gulp down his dry food and this board gives him stimulation and is better for his digestion; we noticed a difference straight away. He can’t scoop trays out of the bowls, but has figured out that he can pick up the whole tray and shake out any treats he can’t reach. At around 1kg the tray is very stable but our little brute manages it anyway!

works fairly well

The cats never managed to get the food from the middle of the board or the round containers but otherwise it worked well

The Cats love it

good quality product and both my Siamese cats love 'pawing' their way through the different board parts to get some extra food treats.

Stupid cat

Disappointed with my cat's reaction. He will retrieve treats from the zigzag and wave areas but only made one attempt to get food from the bells and didn't like the experience. The thought using his tongue to get treats out did not occur to him. Have tried to encourage him but he is not interested in making the effort.

Bit too clever for his own good

Stan was trained on homemade activity boards with sunken yoghurt pots & stacked toilet roll tubes. He likes his food & quickly got the hang of them so was progressed onto this. Thought he might struggle as he's not exactly dainty but BOOM!! Was straight in on all the challenges, no problems at all. Funny as he's not into regular cat toys, but this was like watching a master at work. Does slow him down enough for our other furrball to enjoy his food in peace.

Not good for stupid cats

I bought this as it looked really good but clearly I have a bit of a stupid cat. He couldn't figure out half of the sections and if I put biscuits in the section with spikes he'd stick his head in it trying to get it, we were terrified he was going to cause damage to his face shoving his eye on a spike! He also has fat paws and struggled to pull biscuits out of the sections. We gave it away in the end, so do think about your cats intellect before purchasing.

Excellent concept

I love the concept of this. However my two kittens are just not interested. They sniff and move on no matter what tempting treats I use. Hoping when they get older it will be more useful

play tray

it took some time for my cat to figure it out , but now can get the food out of the plastic balls etc which has slowed her eating down

😻😻😻😻 cats approval

All of my 4 cats love this the bowls are a bit of a challenge for them but they watch each other and learn how to get them out, good team work 😹

MY KITTIES LOVE THIS!!! EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!!

It improves cognitive function and dexterity. One can keep an eye on elderly cats in declining health by simply observing how they use this feeder. In fact, my cats are all rather obsessed with it, they prefer to have their biscuits hidden in and around the board as opposed to thrown into their bowls. Also, and just as important, is that the cats have to work for their food and are less likely to gobble the lot up in seconds, thus resulting in far less vomiting afterwards. Brilliant!

Cats love this

Challenging for almost any cat, keeps them amused

Our 6 year old newly re-homed cat loves this

We had only re-homed Mary for a few days when this activity was delivered, we bought it as she was using one at the Cats Protection Adoption Centre. She loves us to sit with her to do this, she completes all, just finding the bowls more difficult. This has been a great buy, it keeps her entertained, builds our friendship, is easy to clean and looks neat.
