10 Reviews: Best Cat Puzzle Toys (Apr 2024)

Trixie is here with a set of poker box activities to pique your cat’s interest. It comes with four components that can be individually placed on the base, allowing you to customize the box to your liking. Furthermore, each compartment presents a unique challenge to overcome in order to retrieve a treat—lids, drawers, rope, and sliding knob. Don’t worry, it has anti-slip rubber feet to keep the base in place.

My cat loves this. Just challenging enough for very smart cat. Suggest you use a marker to number the bottom of modules when you take them off to wash them. They must be put back in a particular order. I made videos of him solving different modules. Amazing to watch his puzzle-solving.

Following that is a puzzle that allows you to involve challenging play while feeding your cat. Aside from that, having this puzzle on your side is great for slowing down your cat’s eating to aid digestion. It has tiles that can twist, rearrange, or be removed to create a constantly changing puzzle. Simply remove the fishtail from the bowl and let your cat have some fun with it.

This puzzle feeder works perfectly for our cat. She is now unable to eat her entire bowl in a sitting. This is life-changing and has helped our cat become an active eater.

Relieving your cat’s boredom is one of your responsibilities, then let this toy assist you in providing some fun time for your cat. You can put your cat’s favorite treat on it to stimulate his natural instincts and turn feeding time into an exciting hunting game. It works similarly to the previous one is slowing down your cat’s eating to prevent obesity and digestive problems.

Before product, fat cat ate all his breakfast/dinner in a matter of a few minutes. Now fat cat is forced to work for his meal. It takes him awhile and he has to take breaks but he eventually gets all the food. He will vocally tell us if his annoyance with he product but we just tell him to get over it. We are sure he will loose weight now :)

Continue to Trixie’s 5-in-1 Activity Center, which includes 5 different games to stimulate and challenge all of your cat’s senses in different ways. The games are a globe, peg, alley, tongue, and tunnel, sure, your cat will enjoy them. All of the games require your cat to use a different combination of senses, which is excellent for developing their skills.

I have a very inquisitive and intelligent cat that needed a challenge so this is great fun for him. He sits in front of the activity center waiting for me to put treats in it when I get home. We are also entertained by watching him!

This is yet another Trixie cat toy, this time designed to help channel your cat’s intelligence by requiring patience and concentration in order to reach the treats you’ve hidden inside. It comes in four modules: pushing away the balls, moving sliders, drawer knobs, and loops—and each one leads to the tasty reward which you’ll hide inside. It is easy to clean since it is made of rubber and plastic and can be washed in a dishwasher.

So I have one super smart cat and another who is the sweetest cat I know but she's not the brightest bulb. The smart girl figured this thing out quick but is still very engaged by it. There are many ways you can change it up to step up the challenge if desired. I think cats need things that spark their creativity and challenge their problem solving skills. This fits the bill!

You can use this Petstages Grass Patch Hunting Cat Box to stimulate your cat’s hunting instinct. Don’t worry about safety because it’s made of high-quality unique faux grass on top, allowing your cat to scratch, hunt, and even lounge on it. It has jingle balls on the inside that will attract your cat’s attention and trigger them to chase and bat.

Our 5 mo's old cat loves this toy. She has a ton of energy and was constantly tearing through the house back and forth all night long. This toy has proven to be a great distraction and keeps the cat occupied and entertaining without being annoying.

If you’re tired of finding a messed-up cat’s food on the floor every time you leave your cats alone at home, this cat feeder is just what you’re looking for. This is a cat slow feeder that is designed to help your cat eat at a healthier pace. It is also excellent for developing your cat’s senses as it encourages your cat to use sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing to stimulate their natural instincts indoors. Besides that, when it comes time to clean it, all you have to do is remove the rounded green tubes from the food bowl and handwash, easy to clean!

I've had pleasant experiences with catit products, so I gave this one a try too. This toy or feeder is super easy. Basically any cat can quickly figure out how to get the food, so it's a great beginner interactive toy/feeder, especially for a little less clever cats like mine. The downside is that it becomes too easy for the cat but you can rotate it with other interactive toys.

This is another cat feeder, but it comes in a tree shape, which great to encourage cats to work for their food. It has three difficulty levels to challenge your cat, that’s why it also perfect for developing your cat’s sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing senses. It is made of BPA-free materials and can be used for both dry kibble and treats, so its safety is unquestionable.

We got the Catit Senses 2.0 Food Tree for one of our cats, and he loves it. He's a big guy -- weighs about 16 lbs -- but he doesn't topple it over. He just pokes around in it to get the food out. We're very pleased.

Comes from the same brand as the 2 previous food feeders, this time Catit offers a peek-a-boo track for your cats. Well, with this toy in your home, your cats will enjoy their time even without you on their side. This toy designed to allow your cat to see, chase, and swat the ball. Oh, and the ball has a swirl pattern with a unique color combination, which is great for attracting the cat’s attention.

This is the best toy we have ever gotten them. We are gonna buy the rest of the kit they love it so much. My cat will be across the room and you hit the ball... He will leap on it. I recommend getting the ones with the lights. This comes with a solid ball with no lights. The lighted ball allows them to follow better especially at night and adds overall excitement.

This puzzle toy, which combines feeding time and playtime, is a great option. Simply hide some treats in the compartments and then watch your cat work to retrieve them. This puzzle, which comes in three difficulty levels: beginner, intermediate, and top-cat, is great for stimulating and challenging your cat’s hunting skills. It is both safe and enjoyable since it is made of 30% recycled cardboard and printed with certified metal-free inks.

This thing is perfect. I've had one for 3 years. My cat uses it every day. I forgot to keep it out when the movers came and they packed it up, so I had to get another one to keep him happy while we're traveling. I just can't believe he never gets tired of it.
