Makes a bit of a mess but prevents gorging
I was out for 12 hours and my automatic feeder broke so I came home to two unfortunate starving cats. I served them their usual amount in bowls and they sucked up their food like a vacuum.
10 minutes later they regurged their food. Silly me- I had this product but I didn't use it...
Originally I bought it because I have 2 Bengals and I wanted them to forage for their food but they were making too much of a mess. I went back to bowls and occasionally used an automatic feeder when I knew I'd be out for a long time.
PROS:
- Prevents gorging.
- Stimulates foraging (makes them "work" for their food")
CONS:
- Makes a mess.
- Light weight. One of my cats picked up the whole station by gripping one of the taller tubes with his mouth. He figured out that if he picked this up and tip it over, he'd get all the food easier. To overcome this, I duct taped a 5 lb. flat weight under it. Problem solved :-)
This is a really fun way to feed your cat...
I wasn't sure if my cat would work out how to use this - but after a few goes at just taking the bits of food she could reach with her mouth I saw her using her paws! It's great fun watching her & I think it keeps her occupied. She's the sort of cat who just has small snacks all day so this suits her - it may get a bit frustrating if you cat wants BIG, BIG meals because they do have to work for it... but hey, don't we all? Fantastic & highly recommended.
Oh yeah, it's well made & robust. It arrived quickly too.
Excellent!
This product is great, especially for multi cat households, giving hours of fun for humans and felines alike.
I can highly recommend it to anyone who has cats.
