Hitchinson and the Catit Treat Ball by Hagen

This foraging ball features an inner maze coupled with an adjustable opening allowing you to alter the difficulty level based on your cat’s skill level and the size of the food. This is an excellent beginner toy.

Dog Brick Wet Food Foraging

Another excellent canine toy that is perfect to use for cats for either canned or dry food. The cat must slide the cover to expose the reservoirs to access the wet food. This puzzle can be made more difficult by inserting a doggy bone into one of the center slots to serve as an obstacle to be removed before they can slide the cover.

A Foraging Pinata!

In this clip you can see the creativity and challenge that can be incorporated in order to make cats work for their meals. Sometimes the smartest kitties are the ones waiting for the others who are doing all of the work to dispense some kibble! I call this opportunistic foraging! The orange cat in this video, Peaches, had actually become blind in this clip, and while not successful in this video, she is still a master forager despite her handicap!

Dixie and Helen Wiffle Ball Foraging

Two senior cats foraging for the very first time from a wiffle ball toy. This object is great for beginners and intermediate foragers. The many holes appeal to their sense of smell and they can even hook their nails into the holes and pick up the ball and shake it!
