The Aikiou Stimulo Interactive Cat Feeder package contains a circular base with 9 openings where you can put combinations of tubes as food containers.
There are 9 tubes included in the package, each having different lengths to represent varying ‘levels’.
The six ‘Level 0’ tubes are 1.8in long and the ‘Level 1’ tubes are 3in in length.
Tubes are labeled with the max capacity of food each can hold.
The goal is to place treats on tubes with varying depths and allow your cats to reach for them.
This will stimulate both their mental ability to solve puzzles and their physical ability to use their paws properly.
It recreates the scenario where the cat as predator hunts for its prey by reaching into deep and tight holes.
