Puzzle toys & feeders for cats - how to choose?
Puzzle toys, treat mazes and interactive feeders have many benefits for our feline friends. These include exercise and activity, boredom relief, ability for solo play, as well as gastrointestinal benefits (when used with cat treat & food) like slower eating for weight management and puke prevention! But with many on the market, which one should you get for your kitty?
We did a roundup of some of the most popular ones, and compared them across a number of different criteria. Spoiler alert: Cat Amazing - Best Cat Toy Ever! came out as the clear winner : ) You might not be too surprised - after all, that's the toy we make - but the idea here is to let you see the exact objective reasons so you can decide for yourself. Of course, we couldn't compare every single cat puzzle toy and feeder out there, so we chose a representative sample of the most popular types.

What sets Cat Amazing apart as the best interactive puzzle toy?
Hopefully the table above gives you an objective overview of how different types of interactive feeders and puzzle toys for cats stack up -- based not on our opinion, but on factual criteria that are important when making a decision. As you can see, Cat Amazing not only provides multiple difficulty levels to keep up the challenge as kitty's skill level improves, but also provides additional activity and stimulation by being lightweight and sliding easily around your hardwood or carpet floor - something the other puzzle feeders can't do. The safe & eco-friendly materials (durable extra-strength cardboard, printed with SGS certified metal-free inks) used to make Cat Amazing, and its versatility in working with treats and small toys makes it a sure winner in your household!
All across this website and on our blog you will find a lot more information on the exact thought process that went into designing Cat Amazing. We'll be posting a video on exactly how the levels work and how they increase the challenge for your cat as they learn. We'll also be writing about the feline color spectrum and how that was used to help designate the levels. We might even give you a primer on cardboard (more interesting that you might imagine!) and lots of other cool things! Stay tuned!
