Slow-Down Set — Puzzle Feeder, Lick Mat & 2 Hunt Toys

For the cat that finishes dinner before you have put the bowl down.

Eating fast is a hunting brain with nothing to do — the food arrives without any of the work that is supposed to come first. This set puts that work back in four different ways, so a meal takes minutes instead of seconds and the rest of the day has something in it.

What is in the set

• Rotating Puzzle Slow Feeder Bowl — three levels with two spinning trays on a non-slip base; kibble hides between the layers and has to be worked out. Sold on its own: $24.90
• Suction Lick Mat — food-grade silicone with four textured zones and a suction base, for wet food or a smear of treat that turns into slow, calm licking. Comes with a spreader. Sold on its own: $24.90
• 9-Hole Hide and Seek Hunt Board — load a few pieces of the meal under the dome and let your cat paw them out through nine openings. Folds flat. Sold on its own: $24.90
• Hide-and-Seek Feather Mat — feathers sweep out from under a fabric mat in a new spot each time, with a paw button so your cat can restart the hunt. Sold on its own: $24.90

How to use it

Start easy or your cat gives up. Put part of a normal meal in the puzzle feeder with the trays barely covering the food, and keep the ordinary bowl available for the first few days. Once the feeder is emptied reliably, cover more of it. Use the lick mat for wet food and the hunt board for the dry portion so mealtimes stay varied, and keep the feather mat for the gap between meals.

Bought separately, this is $99.60

As a set it is $79.90. All four items are sold individually on this site at the prices listed above.

Care and when to ask a vet

The feeder, lick mat and their spreader rinse clean in warm water; the hunt board spot-cleans and the feather mat motor unit must stay dry. Slowing a fast eater is about pacing and enrichment, not a treatment — if your cat is vomiting after meals, losing weight, or suddenly ravenous, that is a conversation with your veterinarian, not a bowl change.
