keeps cat entertained
my cat is very greedy, and often asks for her breakfast very early in the morning and eats it very quickly without chewing. As she is so food motivated this board is a great way to keep her entertained, it also means she eats her crunchies slowly and chews them properly. I'm sure this is a better way for her to eat and will assist in her weight loss programme!

Excellent entertainment
This is excellent entertainment for me let alone my cat. I put small biscuits in and watch her antics getting them out. A really great idea to keep cats amused. Mine is very smart and figured it all out in no time but it still keeps her busy!

Maine Coons Love It
I bought this for my three Maine Coons and it's the only activity (apart from eating) that they all do together. Even with their huge paws they manage to get the treats out of the bowls. They love it when they see the treat board come out. The youngest of my girls is very shy and does not tend to play much but she is the first to come to the board and the last to leave. I would highly recommend this to anyone with a cat/s

Great Stimulation For An Indoor Cat
I got this for my kitten as soon as I got her and never feed her kibble just left in a bowl. She uses this board and a Slim Cat Ball. Although she hasn't worked out how to get kibble from the goldfish bowls, she can do the other ones. I believe it helps them pace their eating so that they aren't sick from wolfing their food too quickly. I also thinks it gives an indoor cat a bit of extra stimulation in the day. It's plastic and easily washable. I would recommend this to anyone.

Depends on the cat
This keeps one of my cats occupied for quite a while as he gently gets food the way the product was designed. The other more intelligent cat figured out that if he tipped it over the food was far easier to access. The third cat ignores it.

good boredom breaker
i have 2 british shorthair cats , i ,the older female (5 yrs)was not interested at all, but she doesnt show much interest in anything , except sleeping ! the younger male (2 years) however loves this (this is who i got it for ), i put his dry food in it everytime i feed him , he loves to get the food out, he mastered getting food out quite quickly, but is still more interesting for him than food in a bowl and of course keeps him occupied for a while !! i take it in when not feeding , to keep his interest in it when it comes out again . he is very outgoing and bright and is very BIG , he has BIG paws and still does well, it is more difficult to get the food obviously , with big paws, but i see this as a + side, more time playing with the board = less time fighting !! . good for active bright cats that cant go outside !

Great for older cats
I bought this board for my 11 year old siamese cat, he doesnt play with toys but loves food, he loves this toy although i put it away for a while so he forgets how to get the treats out, my other two cats cant figure it out!

Great for keeping cats amused
This is a great toy for cats of all ages. Our elderly kitties love it too. Cats do master getting treats out of the clear spheres quickly but they still love it and play with it every time it's filled with treats. It's easy to clean and a great way to feed dry food. Recommended highly.

expensive but good for indoor cats
Our British shorthair boy is largely an indoor cat as he's deaf, but perhaps because of this, he is fairly receptive to toys, very inquisitive and intelligent. Subsequently, he worked out each of the tasks almost straight away. Having said that, this is the only toy that he has showed sustained interest in and he uses it daily. Just a shame they couldn;t have made it a bit more difficult.

Very glad i bought this
My 14 year old cat refuses to engage in much activity, so to relieve boredom i bought this for him. It made me really happy to see him foraging for treats. I am extremely happy i purchased this item as it has proved invaluable.

Great fun
I was dubious that my cats would bother, but I put their favourite biscuits in it (ones I don't want them eating too quickly) and they love hooking them out like they are clever and have won a prize. Makes a little mess and you have to clean it out every so often as it gets a bit hairy, but not difficult to do and the little bowls twist out to clean. I have it sitting on some plastic floor protection near their water fountain. Definitely one of my best purchases.

old age brain trainer!
Charlie is very old - half blind, half deaf and very wonky! He ignored the board for the first week - another wasted toy, I thought...... then he started to find his dry food! Now he loves it and spends most evenings with it. An excellent buy - it is very difficult to find exercise for an old cat - this is perfect! I recommend it to any cat - just don't give up if it is first ignored - your cat with eventually love it!

excellent for indoor cats
We are constantly trying to find ways to stimulate Dolly,our indoor cat.This is board is fantastic and she loves it. We make it harder for her by putting her dried food in the smaller square containers and also put toy mice in the bowls.
Wish we had thought to get this before,rather than wasting money on toys tha shes not interested in.

Great for fatties!
OK so with one skinny little cat and one porker (could these two facts be related?!) I usually have to stand over the bowls as they eat to prevent FatCat wolfing down both lots of food. This board is perfect for slowing down the eating and making sure that both get their fair share. Neither are particularly bright but both have worked out the best ways to get at the food. I find that leaving out a little of the less-tasty diet food in their normal bowls means that they work a bit with this to get their favourite Applaws kibble.
I wouldn't call this a "Fun Board" or a toy as I think that's misleading. For fun, cats like to chase, pounce or hide in boxes. This is more like mental stimulation and a feeding mechanism so it will not be "played" with unless they are hungry or you put particularly tasty treats in it. They want the food not the fun!
That said, it's a very good quality, sturdy board. Well worth it and highly recommended.

Fantastic all round!!!
What a wonderful invention, I bought this product for my elderly cat Oscar who is 12 years old, after a thyroid operation he had lost all his playful moods and wasn't interested in anything anymore, which worried me greatly.
I saw this Cat Activity Fun Board advertised in one of the cat Magazine and thought I give this a try. Well my little boy loves it, a few treats like Whiskers dental treats got him out of his shell, he hasn't quite managed to master the top part of the board yet, but my other two felines have seen to that.
Yes a big thumb up for that product.

Fun board
This is a hit we have 9 cats from 3 to 9 yers old. The cats loves the Fun board and looking for food or maltbits and they are very good at it.

Cat puzzled!
we have 2 cats, one is very quick and clever and the other one tends to be a bit lazy. the former was in at it and before long had worked it all out. the other showed no interest at all. a few weeks later though and both scamper over whenever i bring it out. it;s a good toy and it keeps them amused for a while!
