Review: I am using it to help control kitty food intake. Great diet tool! - I absolutely love this product, and I wish I would have found it sooner. My kitties are currently on a diet, and they were getting fed twice a day. They would all scarf down their food, sometimes too fast and they would throw it up (not good for them or me!) I ordered this initially as a treat feeder, but quickly changed it to my cats' permanent feeder. Although they still get fed twice a day, this feeder makes them work for their food, slowing them down so they can't inhale their food. Additionally, even though the amount of food that I give them has not changed, there is frequently food left over when it is time for the next feeding. I think that this indicates that they only eat what they really need, because they are too lazy to work for more food than they are hungry for. The center has 4 sections (well 5 if you count under the arch). I have found that there are really only 2 sections that make my cats work for their food. Going from the picture, on the far left is the arch. On top of the arch there are little sections that can fit several pieces of food, but a couple of my cats can eat them right out of the sections, which defeats the point of making them work for their food. The next section is a set of wavy dividers. My cats quickly figured out that they can take their paw and pull back all of the kibbles in a wave divider, and then eat a bunch at a time, again defeating the point. The next section is full of vertical fingers. This is one of the sections that I put their food in. They have to use their paws and they can only get a couple kibbles at a time, which serves my purpose of slowing them down and making them work for their food. The final section is 4 bubbles with holes at the top. I also put their food in this section. They can use their paws to scrape out a couple kibbles at a time. All of my cats (6) quickly learned to use each section of this, although they tend to have their favorite sections. I know this is anthropomorphizing, but I really think they have to concentrate and think when they get the kibble out, and they seem to enjoy the challenge. Since purchasing this, I have gotten several other thinking food puzzles for them, but this remains my favorite that all of my cats can do. Some of them are too complicated for some of my less gifted kitties, but all of them can do the activity center, which makes it a great feeder. I also love that it can be thrown in the dishwasher! Even though I am not using it for what I thought I would when I bought it, I like it even more using it this way, My kitties have only been on a diet for a couple of months, and some of them still have a ways to go, but using this eliminates the begging because they can get the food when they want it, but it makes it hard for them to overeat. The ONLY bad side to this is that it is plastic, and I have heard that it is not good to feed animals from plastic (though I am not sure exactly why). Perhaps chemicals from the plastic? If you are looking for something to challenge your cats, or just something to help put them on a diet, give this a try! Review: Release the wild cat! - This product is wonderful! Recently my vet told me to put my cat, Precious, on a diet. Well, she's been driving me nuts begging for more food. She's also older and is sleeping more than she used to (she's about 9) and I've been wanting her to get a little more active. I tried a feeding ball, but she figured it out quickly and empties it in a couple of minutes (still a good starting point, but I needed to prolong the feeding time to cut down on begging). I kept researching other food puzzles, but I really liked that this has 5 puzzles and seemed the most creative. I've had this product for about a week. The price is steep, but worth it. High quality, doesn't seem likely to break easy, fairly heavy too. I was worried my cat would tip it or something by standing on it, but the puzzle is sturdy and has stood up well to her 11 and a half lbs. Her paws also fit inside each puzzle even thogh she's chunky. She hasn't been able to get at the treats by "cheating" with her mouth either on 4 of the puzzles. Most are meant for your cat to use her paw, hearing and sense of smell to get the treats off the board, one is for cat to lap up liquid treats. As for puzzle itself, here's the deal with each of the 5 puzzles: 1. Alley: This is a round tunnel deep enough when you hide treats my cat has to stretch her paw far inside to get the treats in the middle. She really likes the alley and runs from side to side with her tail quivering as if she's hunting as she searches for treats. 2. Liquid treats: This is the blocks on top of the alley. It's meant for liquid treats so your cat has to lick them up, but from the instruction book it's not as easy as normal since they're smaller square blocks. Also supposed to be good for blind or disabled pets. I don't have any liquid treats to interest my cat yet, so she hasn't tried this one yet. 3. Waves: This is the first one my cat figured out. Pretty simply, all she has to do is one or two paw swipes down the middle and she gets the treats. Once she solved this one she was much more interested in the puzzle so I'm glad there's a fairly straightforward puzzle. 4. Pegs: this is difficult and my cat hasn't finished figuring it out yet. You put treats in among the pegs, and they're set up so your cat has to do multiple paw swipes to get the treats out from the board. She's pretty good if you make the puzzle simpler by putting the treats near the edge of the puzzle board, but has trouble with the ones in the center. She did solve it last night and ate all the treats on the peg board, so she seems to be catching on. 5. Globes: This is the hardest one, and my cat's still working on it. Precious has to put her paw into the globe, feel for a treat, and scoop it out of the globe and onto the floor so she can eat it. She's had a few successes, but still having some trouble. Pros: 5 puzzles in one platform, each differing in difficulty. Difficulty also adjusted by placing food nearer to edge or further away. I divide up her hard food so she gets some food throughout the day until I'm home and can feed her. When I'm home my cat plays and snacks on a few kibbles, then wanders away seeming satisfied. My cat doesn't beg anymore and she's more active when I watch her play and get treats. She seems to be enjoying herself too. Disadvantages: The price is very expensive for a cat toy. on the other hand, the quality is good so I don't feel cheated. Since 5 puzzles involved price works out to be reasonable for each seperate puzzle. Also the board is a little bulky in my small apartment. Size about 12''x14 1/2'' (not huge, but my place is small. ## Features - PUZZLE MASTER: Turn snack time into playtime with this cat food puzzle that challenges your furry friend's brain and keeps them entertained as they hunt for treats - LEVEL UP: This cat puzzle features five different compartments and difficulty levels that keep clever companions challenged and coming back for more - SLOW & STEADY: This puzzle feeder turns mealtime into a fun challenge, encouraging slower eating habits and helping manage your cat's weight naturally - STAYS PUT: Non-slip rubber pads keep this food puzzle securely in place while your cat explores and searches for treats without chasing it across the floor - EASY CARE: After your cat's adventure with this treat dispenser, cleanup is quick and easy with handwashing or top rack dishwasher placement - MULTIPLE COMPARTMENTS: Five distinct activity modules provide variety and mental enrichment, allowing you to customize the challenge level based on your cat's skill and experience - COMPACT DESIGN: Measuring 11.75 x 15.5 x 3 inches, this gray activity board fits conveniently in your home while providing ample space for interactive feeding and play ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001O8L2UO | | Additional Features | BPA Free, Dishwasher Safe, Interactive, Lead Free, Mental Stimulation | | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,504 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #61 in Interactive Toys for Cats | | Brand Name | TRIXIE | | Breed Recommendation | Medium, Small | | Color | Fun Board | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 17,416 Reviews | | Dog Breed Size | Medium | | Flavor | Cat | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04011905045900 | | Included Components | Puzzle and Instructions | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 15.5"L x 11.75"W x 3"H | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item Type Name | Cat Activity Game | | Item Weight | 3 pounds | | Manufacturer | Trixie Pet Products | | Manufacturer Part Number | 4590 | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Fun Board | | Model Number | 4590 | | Pattern | Fun Board | | Pet Toy Type | Puzzle | | Pet Type | Cat | | Product Style | 5-in-1 Activity Center | | Recommended Uses For Product | Boredom Buster, Brain Game, Exercise, Mental Stimulation, Treat Dispensing | | Scent Name | Unscented | | Size | 11.75 x 15.5 inches | | Subject Character | Cat | | Target Species | Cat | | Theme | Cat | | UPC | 013560029121 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Product Dimensions:** 15.7"L x 11.8"W x 3"H - **Breed Recommendation:** Small, Medium - **Specific Uses For Product:** Active, Interactive Play, Mental Exercise, Weight - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Boredom Buster, Exercise, Mental Stimulation, Brain Game, Treat Dispensing - **Material:** Plastic ## Images ![5-in-1 Fun Board Interactive Cat Toy for Indoor Cats, Gray - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Qeg4RHgvL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is there something on the bottom to keep this from sliding around on a wood floor?** A: Yes, it has rubber disk pads on each corner of its underside and the board, as a whole, is quite heavy and sturdy. HOWEVER, MY cat IS able to move it around on the CARPETED floor by LIFTING (not pushing) the board in her course of extricating the kibbles from each of the four bowls (by pulling up on their indented rims in attempt not to let the food fall back out of her paw). She has succeeded in moving the unit as much as 3 feet from it's original place during the course of consuming a single meal from it (man, she is STRONG)! **Q: Are the globes plastic or glass?** A: Plastic - except - OpieTheMOD takes the globes apart rather than fishing the pieces out of the globes! OK - he is 17.5 lbs and not 'fat' - he is strong - and determined HA **Q: What if cat is declawed?** A: Declawing is the same thing as an AMPUTATION up to the first joint of ten toes of the front feet. A great risk of psychological injury to the cat, risk of infection, and great physical PAIN can come with this procedure. What is WE were kept by creatures who decided that we got into things and then amputated our fingers to the first joint? Think that would hurt and seem very, very, very unfair? If you are a person who PAYS for this horrible procedure, rethink your next pet. Get a gerbil or a hamster and cage it with occasional outings. But a cat is a complex, highly intelligent animal, full of potential LOVE for you. To purposely HURT your pet to save your sofa is the wrong route. There are sprays for the furniture There are scratching posts. There are nail TRIMMERS which take some discipline to use every three to four weeks. But to purposely injure these precious creatures for YOUR pleasure or possessions when there are alternatives is beyond the pale. Sure, my $4,000 sofa and an expensive living room chair are no longer perfect, but the injury to those NON-LIVING possessions is part of the package we accept as OUR fault for failing to spray repellent as often as we should have. We offer scratching posts and lounge-type scratching "posts" and have really, really well adjusted members of our family. They trust us. They don't mind their sometimes necessary vet trips. And the mutual respect and love and admiration between our four (three rescue and one Russian Blue) is completely and totally irreplaceable. I cannot imagine every hurting a one of my fur babies in exchange for a little white stuffing coming out of the arm of our red sofa! No. Declawing is inhumane. Get a gerbil or a hamster if you want no damage! Better yet, get a goldfish and change the water regularly if you are willing to do that much for an animal's well being! **Q: How big are the openings of the bowls? I have a fat cat whose paws are 3 inches in diameter!** A: My 16 lb boy can't get the treats out of the spheres - his paws are too big, but he does quite well and loves! three of the 4 other puzzles! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am using it to help control kitty food intake.

I put a few treats in all of the spots and they got them out so they would associate this as a positive and fun task. They were able to share it and work at the same time on opposite sides of the board (we are working on sharing). I put some spring toys in the tunnel too and that was a huge hit! The "tongue module" above the tunnel element was tricky for them to use their paws, it stumped them, my male cat lifted the board up with his teeth to move them (which is a common theme with him). The directions recommend water or wet food (however cleaning that sounds like a nightmare and not something I plan on doing often). The board size is larger that I expected, even with measurements given, but that is fine. Cleaning it was a little bit of a task before filling it with treats. It appears durable and well made and relatively easy to use. At three in the morning, I added a few treats to this and was able to go back to sleep for an hour so good on the entertainment and keeping the cats engaged! My eight year old cat was alone for the last seven years, having this new teenage cat, I am very happy to see that she is getting mental stimulation from this, I would have never gotten this if it wasn't for taking in this male six months ago. I also have the Catstages Kitty Cube Interactive Treat Puzzle Cat Toy from Catstages to use as an alternative to this. The directions recommend starting with ten minute play sessions, and increasing it slowly so the cat(s) stay engaged with it and have a positive association with it and I highly recommend that, bond with your cat(s) and teach them how to use it and praise them for using it. They get frustrated too and if you want them engaged, then engage with them. The four star is mostly for the cleaning aspect, I don't plan on putting it in the dishwasher. I would recommend this. ## Frequently Bought Together - TRIXIE Fun Board Strategy Game for Cats, Puzzle Toy, Treat Dispenser, Interactive Play, Mental Stimulation - Catstages by Nina Ottosson Buggin' Out Puzzle & Play - Interactive Cat Treat Puzzle - PetSafe Slimcat Slow Feeder Ball for Cats - Interactive Puzzle Game for Your Cat - Fill with Food and Treats - Great for Indoor Play for Kittens and Adult Cats, Portion Control and Fast Eaters (Blue) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/1201471-5-in-1-fun-board-interactive-cat-toy-for-indoor](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/1201471-5-in-1-fun-board-interactive-cat-toy-for-indoor) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-10-24*
