What components does the cat fumbling board*?
consist of?
It is basically a kind of puzzle and game activity board with five different modules on one board. Each module has a unique game design and stimulates each of the five senses a cat has.
The Trixie 5-in-1 spurs your cat on to solve little thinking games and figure out how to get the treats that are in each module.
The 5 modules consist of round bowls, pins pointing upwards, a narrow alley, small squares and a tunnel. Some of the modules are more complicated to see through, others are simpler. The bowls are reminiscent of a fishbowl from which the cat has to fish out the treat with her paws.
With the pens, the cat must first look from some distance, where Leckerli* is exactly. The cat can’t observe as well as humans do from close up. Once the cat has seen from a distance where the “delicious target” is located inside the pens, it will consider a strategy how to reach for the treat with the help of its paws between the pens.
The Mietz really enjoys the narrow alley because she can lie down on the ground and try to dig out the reward from there.
The small squares are located directly above the tunnel and can be filled with liquid food*, so that the cat can enjoy the liquid food.
The tunnel is even suitable for slightly larger toys, such as a toy mouse*.
Why does this play option now stimulate all 5 senses?
The cat is simply very versatile busy. So she can lie down to play, but also when sitting she can scoop for the delicacies. She uses her tongue, sniffs her nose to locate the place of the eatery. Of course, she also uses her eyes to see where the eater is and listens as the toy mouse moves through the tunnel.
The nice thing is that there is even an instruction book with it explaining how best to get the cat to become active and stay curious.
Game 1: The bowls, which are designed like small goldfish bowls, encourage your tenant to successfully get food even in a rounded environment.
Game 2: The pens challenge the cat to look from the distance where the eatery is and to devise an intelligent strategy to get really close to the eatery.
Game 3: The narrow alleyway demands the whole physical effort of your Mietz: She gets to it best when she lies down and uses her paws, toes and claws.
Game 4: Also her tongue must use the Mietz cleverly, if she licks the tasty liquid out of the squares.
game 5: The toy in the tunnel is invisible at the beginning and she has to listen how it slips out. There are no limits to creativity here, because many different toys can be pushed into the tunnel.

Your cat may take a while to come up with a clever strategy at the beginning. It’s like a kind of puzzle where a little cat’s brain lard is a part of it. But soon your pussy will know how to use her paws and claws to conquer areas of the board that are hard to reach at first (like the tunnel).
In time, your cat will be able to find the fastest and best way and remember it to get its reward.
