Could my cat use this for her dry kibble? I'm thinking they could use their paws to pull the kibble out and/or through the maze as an interactive game

If your cat is very food motivated it probably could do that. This is one of the deeper styles. The flower style slo-bowl isn't as deep. The one with parallel lines would be probably be easiest for a cat to get the food out of. But I don't have a cat so I'm just guessing.

Sorry, I have 2 dogs and they have learned to eat very quickly by circling around the bowls to get their semi dry dog food. Needless to say, we don't use these bowls. I think the flower type bowls from this company work a little better. Good luck.

It may not be "hard enough" for a cat. The large version that I have might be too large to be much of a challenge as they might be able to get their little faces in more easily than my dog.

If you push the bowl up to a wall it takes more time for the animal to eat, since they can't circle around the bowl.

Honestly, I don't know enough about cats to know if they'd like this or not. The channels are very narrow. I think it's worth a try. I have the pink/purple flower one and think that would be more fun for a cat since it has a variety of obstacles rather than just pushing it around in a circle.

Wouldn't be my first choice. Our cat uses it only sporatically. Try the bird or the cloth strip with handles, both of which will give much more exercise.

I think it is possible cats could us it, but unlikely due to the fact that most cats may view it as "too messy". When an animal steps on it, they tend to get a little bit wet. Nothing major, but some sprinkles will likely hit their face, head, neck and paws may get wet while standing on it. So bottom line I wouldn't recommend it for most cats, unless they don't mind getting a little wet. Hope this helps!

Our cat has claws, so I am not sure. As a test, you could take an empty paper towel tube and cut a few holes in it, put in a treat or two, and see if your cat can get them. On the Cat Amazing Box, there is one hole where a cat just puts in his paw and slides the treat out level with the floor. The other holes (1 1/2 inches to 2 inches on average), the cat need to put in this paw and pull the treat up and out.

I'm not sure if it will work too well for your kitty. My cats climb it by using the nails, of course. there is this first little room with the round hole in which they can jump on and then jump to the bigger room. If you get this cat tree i bet that your kitty will figure it out.

Depends on the cat. Otherwise not easily it will after a while tho. The cat will most likely get stuck in the material then rip it open when trying to claw at it.

Hi, I don't think that this would work for wet food. But there are dishes available that have nubs on the bottom that also make the cat work for their food. If you use a wet food that is minced rather than pate the bowl with the nubs on the bottom might work, it would just be messy because they have to use their paws. There is also an bowl that has a mound in the middle that would make it harder for the cat to eat quickly. Search under Amazon for 'slow feeding bowls'.

I would say yes. My cat only uses one leg when trying to get a treat from one of the bowls or between the pegs. The bigger question is will your cat even pay attention to the activity center. We cat owners have all bought toys that we thought were cool but when presented to the cat the box was more to their liking or there was no interest at all. So there is no other way than buy first and hope for the best. One of my cat's favorite toy is the lined tunnels that cost about $28 each.

I have a York ie that eats and drinks too fast and then throw a up. We are using the feeding bowl and water bowl- works like a charm. I do t have a cat, howecer, the bowl is shallow so I would think it would work. Not sure how it would work with canned food....designed to use with dry kibble.

The cat would have to lift it from one of the openings and I would think that would difficult to do with paws.

Your kitty should totally enjoy being able to jump between the levels with no problem. At least you won't have to deal with the sisal rope coming off since he won't be clawing it. If he needs an incentive to get to the higher levels, try putting some catnip in the carpet.

I wouldn't suggest it. It would probably be quite messy. I only feed my cats wet food, too. But there are a few brands of healthy treats that would work in this feeder.

It depends on how large his paw is because mine had too big and furry a paw to use this. You would also need a lot of patience in training him to use the item otherwise it would be a good challenge for him.

I would think you would be able to if you supplemented it with a small amount of easy access food. I do not put any treats in this only cat foot. My larger cat, who loves the feeder, primarily only eats out of it for his dry food. I regulate it so it doesn't feed really fast because it does spit it out when you fill it. My kitties (3) get split 1 3oz can in the mornings.

The dog would have to learn to bat it around just right, same as the cats. Because the dispensing rate can be adjusted (the holes can be made smaller) it would minimize the amount of cat food the dog could eat at one go.

It would be pretty hard for a cat to squeeze by this. They would have to be fairly little and very determined. Not much open space.

Yes, my blind cat loves these. Sprinkle some catnip on it at first to get him started. He also likes foil balls. Punch some pin holes in a large piece of foil, sprinkle some catnip and loosely crumbled it up into a ball and let him bat it around on the tile floor.
