This stationary foraging toy offers multiple puzzles in one including an area for wet food. Food does not always need to be the focus. The ping-pong ball section is like a feline rooting box and can be filled with water for cats that enjoy playing with water. The floating balls add a play component. Novelties can also be added like blades of grass tied in knots, and sticks and leaves for a seasonal fun offering.

The Tunnel Feeder by Trixie Pet

This is a great beginner toy for multi-cat households. Food goes in through the top and funnels into the tunnels. If you wish to increase the challenge further, fill ping-pong balls and place inside the tunnels. This way the cats must spin the balls to get the food to dispense and then extract it from the tunnel.
The Windmill by Trixie Pet
This is a fantastic feline foraging toy! Traditionally a dog toy, it really seems geared more towards cats as most dogs would destroy this product. It comes with two sets of interchangeable lids, a set with one large hole and another set with three small holes. The holes can be taped up with scotch tape once your cat has mastered the concept to increase the challenge level. Large marbles can also be placed inside to add weight and obstruct the opening from time to time to make the toy much more difficult once your cats gets the hang of it.
A Harry & David pear box!

What an easy and cheap (let's be honest these are generally free as they are often given as gifts) food puzzle! Simply take the lid off and sprinkle kibble inside.
To increase difficulty place other objects inside the compartments to serve as an obstacle.
It really cannot get much easier than this folks!

Twine, cardboard tubes and a rock!

This is an earthy, natural style food puzzle. The rock provides some weight to keep it all in place. Some cardboard tubes were used along with a little garden twine to keep it all together. It's a little rickety but a fun impromptu puzzle.
*Know your cats! Leaving string/twine unattended could result in a cat eating something they should not. Safety first!




DIY Wooden Foraging Tower
We love seeing how people get creative with homemade puzzles, and sometimes people get fancy.
Making this puzzle requires some wood-working skills, but can easily be customized to your own preferences and your cat's needs! Brought to us thanks to Goug via Instructables - all the details you need are HERE!
Catit Senses Food Maze

This treat tower certainly requires some previous foraging experience.
Cats must work food down each level of the Catit Food Maze to finally achieve a piece of food that has fallen through into the base/food tray.
There is an adjustable plate at the middle tier that allows for the openings to be made smaller to increase the challenge.
For gregarious foragers, a weight, rock or other heavy object can be placed in the base/tray to weight toy down so it does not topple over.
And, as is true for most Catit products, this food puzzle comes with a pressure point mat to ease paw fatigue while diligently working for kibble!
