Mice made of fur and fishing rods with feathers, although popular, can safely be classified as “last century”.

This does not mean that you should give up such toys, but it is time to diversify your pet’s entertainment with more modern “gadgets”.

For example, you can buy educational games for cats in the store. What is it – read in this article.

Such games imply that, in addition to physical activity, your pet will have to really strain his “gray matter” to solve certain problems.

Puzzles can be either game-based or food-based.

Today we will talk about the latter – unique devices that a cat must play with to get a treat for itself.

We decided to focus on this type of puzzles because we often receive complaints from cat owners that their cat does not show interest in the game.

First, let's figure out the reason - your pet may ignore such entertainment because the food, as often happens, is freely available. Who would agree to make a lot of effort for food if it is lying nearby and completely "free".

In this case, you have two options - you can feed your cat on a schedule, transfer the entire diet to food puzzles, or find a treat that is much more attractive to the animal than its daily food.
