Cats have long been loving companions for their humans as early as 4,000 years ago<\/a>. As many cat lovers know, kitties are generally pretty easy to care for. They don’t require as much exercise as their dog counterparts and make wonderful indoor companions. But it’s important that all of our pets get the necessary mental stimulation and interaction they need to be happy. This is where cat puzzle toys and interactive cat games come into play.<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

Indoor cats can often become bored and\u00a0under-stimulated<\/a>\u00a0at home. Laser toys can only do so much. Destructive, unwanted behavior (like messes outside of the litter box or shredded furniture) and obesity are telltale signs that your cat needs more activity in their daily life.<\/p>\r\n

Cats greatly benefit from mentally stimulating products that enhance their natural instincts to hunt, paw, pounce, and scratch, but a basic laser pointer isn’t going to do the job.<\/p>\r\n

It’s even more mentally stimulating for your cat to eat dinner from an interactive puzzle toy than a simple bowl. Each cat puzzle toy doubles as a cat feeder and can be used to feed meals for speedy eaters<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>By satisfying their natural instincts, you’ll find your cat feels more playful and content throughout the day. With room in each puzzle’s compartments for up to 1\/4 cup of space for cat\u00a0food, you can use them in place of a bowl at kibble time.<\/p>\r\n
