my 4 year old, 16lb cat loves this. I use this at night as well as when I leave for 10+ hours. He doesn't get out all the treats at once but rather eats a few and comes back later to get some more. It's hard enough to keep him busy but easy enough not to be frustrating for him. Definitely worth it for my chonker

My cats love this, and I like that it is both brain & motor-skills stimulating. Did not see a difference in “skill”/ability between leaves & buttons so alternate both. Also cute & well-made, like an Ikea toy. I use with broken pieces of freeze-dried chicken cat treats. The spaces do require cleaning out after each use.

This is a great way to keep your cat entertained, but we have a dog who loves cat food and especially cat treats. Unfortunately, he figured out how to get the food out immediately. Our kitty never got the chance to use this, so I returned it.
I’ll be looking for something else that our dog can’t get into.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Cat Likes It
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2024
Color: Rainy DayStyle: Treat PuzzleVerified Purchase
I have made games for Sissy the Cat to play out of cardboard tubes. I wanted something sturdier. Many of the things available were either too expensive or she would refuse to play them because of smell or material. Catstages was within by price range. It is made out of material that didn't have a smell. Sissy took to it immediately. I find she goes to the game in the middle of the day when she wants a snack. I only use kibble in it. It is not hard to wipe out. Sometimes, kibble crumbs or very small kibble get in the cracks. I cannot take it apart to clean it.

The game takes up space on the floor. That is a consideration. It has multi-challenge activities. There are little flippers that hid the treats. There are knobs that slide over the treat holes. The knobs have holes in the top. The knob can be filled with treats that are released only when slid over the treat holes. The cat has to slid the knob over the treat hole and then slide it again to get the treat. There is a revolving lid with an opening that only shows one of the many treat holes under the lid at a time. I change the combination of how to get treats every day. If Sissy is very hungry, then she will try to figure out the difficult combinations. Otherwise, she finds her snack and leaves the hard ones. I can monitor it by noting what she doesn't not eat.

I have recommended the Catstages by Nina Ottoson Rainy Day Puzzle and Play to friends. It is economical, easy to use, and, most importantly, my cat likes it.

The media could not be loaded.
 My cat, Earl, is a curious boy. He is very observant and likes to get into everything. As annoying as it can be, he's just a baby learning about how things in his little world.
My friend suggested I get a puzzle, and after seeing this one I had to get it. There are some easier puzzles out there so I was nervous this would be too much for him, but he figured it out right away! His sister Lavender also gets a kick out of it but she is still learning how each piece works. I'm impressed with their teamwork!

As far as quality, it's very secure and I haven't had issues with sticking. It might take some time to clean but is easy to wipe down if needed. We use dry treats so it doesn't get too dirty too fast. No assembly required and it doesn't take up space at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for slowing down fast eaters or kitties with big appetites who need smaller calorie counts
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2023
Color: Buggin OutStyle: Treat PuzzleVerified Purchase
When you have to present on a business call, and your cat doesn't comprehend that she needs to leave you alone and not paw at you, meowing, for fifteen minutes straight because she's going to absolutely, positively die of starvation if she doesn't immediately get food, this is a great solution to have ready...

Looks and functions exactly as described. Our little girl is a 15 lb, 21" long cat who's currently taking prednisolone, which makes her (or anyone, humans included) feel hungry all the time. She usually is fine with 3 timed meals plus a snack, but with the prednisolone, she's vocally and physically asking for food ever few hours.

This toy has been a godsend. We have her on a novel protein diet with high protein (30%) kibble that keeps her fuller longer, and if you put 2-3 kibble in each green leaf cup, and 2-3 in each red lady bug cup, you'll be able to serve up a puzzle that will occupy them for up to 15 minutes, and make them eat slowly enough they will feel satisfied for a few hours at least.

We also have been feeding her her dinner completely in the puzzle some days when she's especially voracious, and there's enough room easily in the cups to hold a full ounce of kibble, probably you could fit 2 oz. if needed. (8 oz. = 1 cup of kibble, and we feed her 4 oz. per day, divided into 3 meals + 1 oz. we use as 'treats' / snacks throughout the day, which is ~200 calories with her Blue Buffalo and Natural Instinct Venison and Alligator novel protein kibble).

Cats use their sense of smell more than eyesight that close up, I guess, so we did notice after while she has trouble telling if there's still food in the ladybug/red cups, because the scent of food lingers in them and it's not easy for her to see inside, but she doesn't seem to get frustrated, and when she hears us take the puzzle out of the closet she knows it's snack time!

The only negative is that it will slide around on a wood floor or kitchen floor, so you may need to put it on a rug/carpet if it keeps moving around while your cat is eating from it.

One note: small kibble can become wedged inside the frame of the puzzle. I've not tried separating the components to clean it out - I usually just start shaking it over the trashcan in different directions, and the kibble comes out. Larger kibble won't have this issue - it's mainly the Natural Instinct one that gets stuck as it's smaller and flatter than Purina HY Rx and Blue Buffalo. But not a dealbreaker by any means!

Really cute, and works great. Very durable. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pros and Cons, from a OOBC Orange Tabby
Reviewed in Canada on November 8, 2023
Color: Buggin OutStyle: Treat PuzzleVerified Purchase
Pros:

- This is a pretty impressive-looking but still beginner to intermediate level cat feeder. It said to increase difficulty slowly, but after two days of my cat not even having to think about it, I skipped to the hardest level and that took him about day to figure out completely. This is NOT a food-motivated cat, nor is he a particularly bright one (I know, I love him, but he's an orange tabby with very limited access to the One Orange Brain Cell they all share -- pictures posted as evidence that if he can solve these, ANY cat can. Images as proof.)
- Well-made, easy to clean, dishwasher safe
- Can be set up in stages to help cats learn the skills to successfully acquiring all the kibbles/treats/etc
- perfectly sized for most dry cat foods and treats (ladybugs will accept and release up to Greenies Cats size treats)
- no jams, nothing trapped that needed prying out
- makes slowing down kibble inhalation and portion control a lot easier, as he's no longer focused on the bottom of his dish
- already able to transfer skills learned with this toy/feeder to others
- most importantly, and why I began this: HE IS NO LONGER BOLTING HIS FOOD AND REGURGITATING IT. Because, beyond the "ew I just stepped in semi-digested cat food" factor, it was seriously bad for his health and probably hurt.

Cons:

- he now refuses to be fed out of a food dish
- it now takes 20+min to portion out his dry food in the mornings between three toys, two fillable mice I then hide, and a treat dispensing ball that contains a spiral to up the difficulty beyond "ball with a hole in it". Again in the evenings.

My cat is now so smug as he no longer needs me, he feeds himself and is a mighty hunter, thank you very much.

This is a monster of my own creation. That said, this is also a really good puzzle feeder or treat dispenser with the ability to increase or decrease the difficulty. We had a couple of secondhand dog puzzles he was enjoying, but this is much better and of all the puzzles we have it continues to be the easiest to fill and clean for the longest length of feeding time as he doesn't get more than 4-5 kibbles per ladybug.

The leaf in the middle really ups the difficulty, you might want to leave that open for a long while as it can lock up several other leaves. Only once they're slapping leaves aside is it a good time to stick this wrench in the cogs 😄

- Can be set up in stages to help cats learn the skills to successfully acquiring all the kibbles/treats/etc
- perfectly sized for most dry cat foods and treats (ladybugs will accept and release up to Greenies Cats size treats)
- no jams, nothing trapped that needed prying out
- makes slowing down kibble inhalation and portion control a lot easier, as he's no longer focused on the bottom of his dish
- already able to transfer skills learned with this toy/feeder to others
- most importantly, and why I began this: HE IS NO LONGER BOLTING HIS FOOD AND REGURGITATING IT. Because, beyond the "ew I just stepped in semi-digested cat food" factor, it was seriously bad for his health and probably hurt.

Cons:

- he now refuses to be fed out of a food dish
- it now takes 20+min to portion out his dry food in the mornings between three toys, two fillable mice I then hide, and a treat dispensing ball that contains a spiral to up the difficulty beyond "ball with a hole in it". Again in the evenings.

My cat is now so smug as he no longer needs me, he feeds himself and is a mighty hunter, thank you very much.

This is a monster of my own creation. That said, this is also a really good puzzle feeder or treat dispenser with the ability to increase or decrease the difficulty. We had a couple of secondhand dog puzzles he was enjoying, but this is much better and of all the puzzles we have it continues to be the easiest to fill and clean for the longest length of feeding time as he doesn't get more than 4-5 kibbles per ladybug.

The leaf in the middle really ups the difficulty, you might want to leave that open for a long while as it can lock up several other leaves. Only once they're slapping leaves aside is it a good time to stick this wrench in the cogs 😄

I have 3 cats ( technically only 1 is mine).
One is very smart - girl cat (bengal mix) , she loved this and solved it asap.
One is a ginger and white cat, he took a little while thinking and trying but managed to also solve it and get to the treats, kept him occupied and purring throughout foraging.
I have one retard grey stripy cat, not a thought behind those eyes he couldn’t figure it out just demanded treats and then forgot he asked for them as his attention went elsewhere.

Really depends on the smartness of your cat.
2/3 success
Would buy again maybe the harder one once they get used to this, maybe the special one might one day be able to use this too 🤣
