Catit Senses 2.0 Digger Interactive Slow Feeder – Turn Mealtime into Play Time

Kitty figured it out right away!
My 7month old kitten Lilly loves having any kind of challenge so I looked into getting her another puzzle. I found this and seemed perfect, I was right! I just had to show her how to do it and she claimed all the treats! It was very easy to put together, less than a few minutes. It takes a while for her to get all the treats out which is exactly what she needed. It kept her interested and occupied. Plus it’s super cute to watch her lol. This was definitely worth buying and a great deal for the price! Thank you Catit for all the puzzles! My kitty loves them!

Alyssa Is Special!
Alyssa has always been fascinated with anything which challenges her in some way and gets her special attention. We had a more complicated treat dispenser but it was large and I mean large. And only Alyssa played with it anyway, getting all the treats out of the hiding places.A bit of background: We are Alyssa’s NINTH change in housing. As a Snowshoe, I guess people didn’t want to “put her down,” because of her obviously fabulous beauty. But she was a biter. Yep! Handed back and forth from owner back to her foster home several times, we took Alyssa home for good, her NINTH change since being born! I would not bring a ca home any other way. These precious beings are not a broken food chopper you can just take back to the store because of a manufacturing shortcut. And I figured that if I could teach eighth grade gifted students for years, I could certainly work with Alyssa to stop her nibbling human flesh for whatever reason she was doing it. But if I had been such a foster cat, maybe I would have felt like biting and not trusting people too!And so, a quick study, she learned that attention would IMMEDIATELY be turned away from her if she started to nibble on my hand. To me, these were NOT bites as maybe she had been doing with other people, but really love nibbles. Maybe her intentions had been misinterpreted. Maybe people were scared her next nibble would break the skin. Whatever. The “extinguishing” of the behavior worked. OK, every once in a while, even now, she gives the sweetest little, bitty nibble. It is a kiss. That’s the way I look at it. There is not even one ounce of meanness in it, but an unspoken, “I’m here. You are here. This is a good thing.”There is also a Russian Blue male in the home which has a very strong and demanding personality. He gets what he wants out of charm or trickery. And Pretty came home with us the day we brought Alyssa home. Pretty had been in a hoarding situation and a little bit people shy even today, but every day makes more progress. Her treats have to be divided out separately and away from the others. And there’s Colby. Colby was adopted too, after being kept in a cage in some forsaken place for six months as a kitten. He is only four years old but has the aching body of an old, old cat from arthritis caused by the caged situation. Colby is a cuddly black bear and sweet, sweet, sweet. Colby and Blue go one on one to get the next treat but share pretty well, considering.So we have a real mixed bag of cats, don’t we? And our loved children, they are, down to each and every last hair.But back to Alyssa. When this “Digger” arrived, I set it aside from the usual tossing of the treats toward the cats and dropped a few treats in the cups as Alyssa sat beside it. I left one on the white shelf part of it. She saw it immediately and how easy it was to paw off and into her mouth. And the very next second after wolfing that treat, she saw, sniffed, and DUG those treats out, one at a time. Each cup, varying slightly in width and depth, demanded a new position from to fenagle her paws just so.This way of getting Alyssa HER treats, is our special thing. Now, when I walk into the room and near the Digger, she immediately sits beside it waiting for HER share of the treats. The others go about their usual way getting their usual share of treats, but Alyssa and I kind of have this secret. The Digger is hers, alone. She knows it. I know it. She feels very special to have this additional fun in her new miniaturized hunting activity. This Digger is Alyssa’s. There’s no sharing HER share of the “cookies”!Now really, two cats could share this Digger. But it would be tight, especially if the cats feel the need to scoot around to a different position to dig out a treat. IDEALLY, one Digger per cat would work for sure. But Alyssa’s and my secret works just fine for us. Not just a hand-out, she EARNS her treats and has fun doing it.Hint for making this work for your cat(s): Put one treat on the white “shelf” part of the Digger and one or more treats in each cup and stand back. You MAY have to put your fingers in the cups and rattle them to get their attention to sniff around or look into the cups to see the pay dirt. But they WILL catch on easily enough. It is fun for you to watch and fun for them for the mental/physical stimulation.

Our cat is an indoor/outdoor rescue cat. Cold winter has been very boring for him so I’ve been picking up things to keep him challenged. This toy helps make him feel like the king of the jungle, kept him engaged, purring and happy! It’s the right size to be able to position it somewhere away from the dogs and the non slip base keeps it from getting knocked around. Great price and I can’t imagine a scenario in which it won’t last forever. Durable and great for cats who like mine, need to safely satisfy their desire to murder small things. Sorry about the dark video, we’re chilling in the family room tonight and “we don’t use the big lights”.

I recently picked up the Catit Senses 2.0 Digger in green, and I have to say, it’s a game changer for my cat! 🐾 She loves digging through the various compartments to find her favorite treats. It keeps her entertained for hours and really stimulates her natural hunting instincts. The design is sleek and easy to clean, and the green color is super cute! If you want to give your furry friend a fun challenge, this is definitely the way to go. Highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
