Once again, do not let a photo of a dog on the packaging deter you from getting toys for your cats. If you think they are up to the challenge then go for it.
This food puzzle offers erratic movement as it is big bubbly sides made to look like a molecule. The hole opening is large so would best accommodate large, dental type dry food.
You read this correctly, this is a dog toy. That is not stopping us, or your cat for that matter. Fill IQ Ball up and it is not too difficult, but fill only the opaque side and utilize the internal divider with adjust-ability options and you can increase the challenge level!
The only downside is that the opening has a slightly irregular oval shape and will not work for larger pieces of dry food.
These two holed cups can be a great beginner toy and the one hole cup is the next step up in difficulty. Because these toys are clear the cat can see, smell and hear the kibble rattling around inside the cup.
For slow starters the cup can be laid on its side without the lid so the cat can learn to simply extract food with it's paw, once that is achieved the lid can be placed on the cup.
For the master forager, fill a large foraging egg and place inside the cup for an increased challenge. Some cats really do get that skilled at foraging!
Another excellent beginner object with a lot of versatility. The egg shape makes for more erratic movement, while the fully adjustable openings accommodate a variety of dry food sizes and shapes.
The difficulty level can be increased by filling a smaller food puzzle (shown right) and placing it inside the larger puzzle. Foraging ping pong ball available through Fundamentally Feline.
The Slim Cat Ball is an excellent introductory toy. It is clear, easily rolled and has multiple holes for the food to dispense from, allowing the cat to quickly learn the game. It is very important that cats are successful in the beginning. This puzzle is adjustable to accommodate a variety of dry food sizes and can be made more challenging by covering one or two holes with scotch tape.
Available in four fun colors: blue, green, orange and pink!
