The first Cat Amazing puzzle toy I bought was the Classic which was a huge hit with my cat. It was such a success that I bought the next level up, this one. It's as clever and she is as fascinated by it. It is different to the classic but similar enough for the Classic to be a good introduction to enable my cat to know what to do. Although this one is more of a challenge and she has risen to it. In fact she cracked it immediately. She understood how it worked before I did. I wish there were more toys like this where cats can enjoy all their skills and we can wonder at them. It's wonderful to watch her, her nimble paw-work, her determination, her intelligence. As she's now mastered this one so please bring the next level up to the UK, the 'Epic'. PS she's still loves ... MoreThe first Cat Amazing puzzle toy I bought was the Classic which was a huge hit with my cat. It was such a success that I bought the next level up, this one.

Choose carefully if you want to buy

I saw this and immediately thought it'd be a great toy for my cat, who is a little picky about toys and can't be entertained with just anything. I was right about her liking it--she hasn't stopped trying to get her treats since I built this for her! That was nearly three hours ago now and the only treats that she's managed to get were the ones I took pity and got out for her. I think if you have an extremely, extremely intelligent cat then this might be a good toy for them, but otherwise maybe not. It's pretty difficult for them to get the treats out. I was wondering how my cat would be able to get anything out from the moment I built it. Maybe this will work well if you use soft treats that they can stick their claw into to get out? Otherwise it’s nearly impossible ... MoreI saw this and immediately thought it'd be a great toy for my cat, who is a little picky about toys and can't be entertained with just anything.

Otherwise it’s nearly impossible unless the cat knows to knock the box over so that some might come spilling out. I’m a big ole softy so seeing my cat struggle to get to her treats to no avail was hard, especially when she continued failing to get them after such a long time of trying. I won’t be using this for treats in the future but I am going to put some of her toy balls in it! At the very least I think that will be fun for her! I have mixed feelings about this toy but I will say that it did keep her busy for a long time which I think is great! I just wish it was a little easier for them to get treats out. I also don't know if this is really worth the price..but you can decide that for yourself. If you think your cat would be able to get its treats and play for a long time, I think it would be!

Entertainment challenge

My two boy kitties love this treat puzzler!! My boys, especially Leo, need a lot of stimulation to keep them from boredom and this treat puzzler maze toy does not disappoint!! I put in their favorite tasting, good smelling bite-size treats and the boys will paw into all the holes until their polydactyl paws pull the treats out! They will even use their front teeth to pick up the outer box and give it a shake to make 'hidden' treats appear and become more accessible! Leo is easily entertained for 10-15 minutes at a time. This puzzle maze is made out of sturdy cardboard and easily put together (there's an instructional video to watch too). The outer box has 2 levels and you place a smaller maze box in the bottom level and 2 smaller maze boxes in the top level. These ... MoreMy two boy kitties love this treat puzzler!!

The outer box has 2 levels and you place a smaller maze box in the bottom level and 2 smaller maze boxes in the top level. These maze boxes add extra challenge when you place treats inside them as the kitty must put its paws in from the outer box and shake/move around the maze boxes for the treats to fall out into the main box level for easier/but still challenging level to get the treats out! Reasonable price for the complexity of the 'toy'. Fast shipping. I highly recommend - 5 stars!!

Expectations vs Reality

Setup: Despite its seemingly straightforward design, the setup process was a tad more complex than anticipated. However, once you get the hang of it, the assembly becomes manageable.Quality: In terms of build quality, the product falls slightly short of expectations. The cardboard construction doesn't hold up well against regular use. With repeated opening and closing of the lid, signs of wear and tear become evident sooner than expected.Entertainment Value: As for my cat's enjoyment, it wasn't quite the hit I was hoping for. While this could vary significantly from cat to cat, I suspect that this toy might appeal more to food-motivated felines. If your cat isn't particularly driven by treats or food, this toy might not be their cup of tea.Overall Impression: ... MoreSetup: Despite its seemingly straightforward design, the setup process was a tad more complex than anticipated.

Unfortunately, my cat didn't show much interest in it either. In the end, I decided it was time to retire the toy to the trash.

Frustrating!

Spent a lot of time assembling this. My cats love the original version so I thought I would challenge my smart cat. This is almost impossible to get treats out of. He acts like he is starving 24/7 and he didn’t even bother to keep trying to get the treats even when I put them close to the holes. The angle and height of the openings didn’t work for him. This went into the recycling. I’d recommend the original single story version instead!

Loved by our King of cats (we don’t correct him!)

Bought this for my kitties, but so far, Floofer is the most interested. He’s been at it several times foraging for the treats. He’s easily bored at almost 6 months and this keeps him off my keyboard during working hours! I drop his fave (smelly) treats in and he’s doing everything he can to get them. It’s well crafted out of heavy cardboard and seems pretty sturdy, time will tell if he uses the holes or just eventually tries to chew his way in. We’ll definitely keep an eye on him when he’s at this and will put it up if he gets too crazy!Great distraction for your cats, we do recommend!

Not worth the money

Well I'm actually disappointed in this what they call an interactive toy for cats. I ordered it thinking my 2 crazy cats would love it and Instead they looked at me like what the heck mom? First of all not sure why they call it a slide. It doesn't move by itself only If your cats push the inner boxes around. Its just basically a glorified cardboard box with holes in it. They played with it for about 5 minutes and after that have had no interest at all In it. When I threw treats in it, they just fell all the way thru to the bottom of the outer big box and really wasn't a challenge to get the treats out. No sliding involved. My two cats are very playful and I expected alot more. Wouldn't waste my money on something like this ever again. Sooo bummed out.

Wrote the company it came from, to the email they provided and havent heard backk. My cats play more with just empty boxes than they did this toy. Save your money for better options. Truth be told!!..I only send honest opinions so there ya go

Overthinking the box

A brilliant concept that has been overthought to inutility. Well, *I* had fun assembling the 5 boxes. (The video assembly demo, recommended by the paper insert, pointlessly features directions for their earlier, and significantly different model.) The main takeaway is that the whole experience is too taxing for most cats. Treats, miniscule in comparison with the overall maze, often fall out of component boxes into unseen corners on the bottom of the housing box, to get neglected then stale. The bottom box alignment seems impossible (and, indeed, in the company's demo videos, their cat is never seen retrieving anything from it but rather the overall housing box.) A glorified box with inner boxes, it seems like a clever Victorian maze for cats but, for me and my ... MoreA brilliant concept that has been overthought to inutility.

Perfect difficulty level

One of our cats is into everything. He will open drawers, cabinets etc if he knows there is something he wants inside. Normally when we put treats in a puzzle toy he brute forces them out in minutes. Not so with this box because he can't tip it over and has to actually work them out with his paws so it entertains him for quite awhile. Sometimes he even lets our other cat get a turn with treats inside!!!Impressively our other kitty loves this too. She walks away from puzzle toys when she can't see the treats, but probably because she can touch them, she keeps working at this. She also loves to fish toys out (much easier) and sometimes even drops toys in herself to fish out!

a nice challenge

At first she kept staring at me waiting for me to just get the treats for her. But I didn’t and instead kept adding more treats in. When I went to bed I could finally hear her trying to fish them out.Now every morning she waits beside it for me fill it up again. It’s still challenging enough to keep her busy but it’s still doable for her. Give it time and they’ll get better at it. Just don’t cave to their begging.I got this because the previous activity center were too easy for her. And to help with her separation anxiety. She no longer guilts me before I leave for work because she’s busy with this. I use dehydrated raw chicken as treats.
