My cat Kodi was experiencing some stress a few years back, he had a large bald spot on his belly. The vet explained that it was stress. I couldn’t figure out what was causing the stress, because he wasn’t licking his belly when I was home. So i started searching for things to reduce the stress in Kodi, tried numerous things and one of those things where licki mats and food puzzles, Kodi loves it, he only gets his food or treats in a licki mat or food puzzle and i’ve collected a lot of food toys through the years and keep adding more 😊 Kodi love every single piece of food puzzle. He is often purring and he is just so happy when playing with the puzzle and he is so smart with it! I also hide treats in the house before I leave for work, so he can get to search for treats, sometimes he doesn’t even notice that I’m leaving the house. Thank you Jackson for making people aware to let cats be like actual cats and meet there needs! ❤

I started my super smart 7 mo blind kitten on a homemade puzzle toy constructed of tp tubes. He quickly goobered and destroyed it. So my dad built him a deluxe pvc model, with stacks, chutes, and tunnels to challenge him.

Over the past year we adopted 2 kittens. They want to play foe about 3 seconds then they sit and watch us run around like idiots. Recently a new kitten showed up at our door. Boy did we get our revenge. This kitty is non stop play. He taught the other 2 how to play. The cat gods sent him to our door. Thank you.

Instead of buying puzzles (or toys, for that matter) I just make them out of stuff around the house (jars, hiding treats under rugs, in the grooves on the bottom of a meal prep containers, paper towel cardboard rolls, etc). It's a much cheaper option and I can switch it up all the time 👍. My cats also really love to chase treats so I will throw a treat as far as I can and they go running after them 😂.

My cat was way too smart for every puzzle toy I ever gave him. He’d figure out a way to solve them with one paw and flopped over on his side. I miss that little guy. ❤️

My cat Sookie loves to play with ice cubes, so on warm days I fill a larger bowl with water (1-2 inches) and add some ice cubes to float around in it. She paws at the ice cubes and watches them until they melt. They also make this crackly sounds right as they reach the water and she will run to me when she hears it! It’s the cutest thing and she gets to cool down a little! ❤️

I’m getting a kitten in a couple weeks, I’m so excited! My Simon, last cat that I shared my space with, passed in 2015 at 17 yo. He was amazing!

Most of the time my cats get wet food, but we have our little morning routine: I use small plastic and cardboard boxes that I cut holes in at various points. Every morning before I go to work, I fill the boxes with treats and distribute them around the apartment. I also hide some dry food all over the apartment, in shoes, under pillows, in the bathtub... My two kittens look forward to this ritual every morning and excitedly start looking for food. This ensures that they have something to do when I leave the apartment and are not bored. And believe me: When I come home in the afternoon there is no trace of leftover cat food to be found.

My cat has never had free meal. She is a very shy and scared cat. When I adopted her when she was 2.5yrs old, I thought puzzle toys would be good for her to become more confident. I made DIY puzzle toys out of toilet paper tubes and also kleenex boxes, and then put them everywhere in my apartment so that she can have fun to do a treasure hunting. That helped her acclimatize quickly to the environment at the beginning. And also, as she is an indoor cat, that makes her move around. I keep doing it everyday. I set 3 meal times each day so she is looking forward to playing the treasure hunt and a wet food dinner.

We adopted an 8 year old male cat last year with medical issues. He’d been diagnosed at some point with eosinophilic granuloma complex, I noticed some pretty significant anxiety issues, and then we started noticing he had issues with his teeth. He had a few removed shortly after we brought him home, and then a few months ago was diagnosed with stomatitis. We opted for a full mouth extraction. Dealing with the medical side definitely helped with his anxiety, but he’s not interested in any of the traditional cat toys. And he deals with the lack of stimulation by being a jerk to the other cats. He’s incredibly food motivated though…and working puzzle toys into his routine tamps down some of his attitude.

My kitten is watching you intently while you talk about puzzles. She started purring.

For $1.25 + tax from Dollar Tree, bought my first interactive cat toy. An ice tray. My three cats love digging for their Temptation treats. Some times I even add some rotisserie chicken bits in the slots. I certainly will take the sage advise of using a variety of puzzle toys, alternating them. Great video.

Our (only) cat was a starving street baby for the first year of his life before being rescued. We've always fed him a combination of wet and dry food and even with giving an appropriate amount using an automated feeder he would simply wolf it down in seconds and throw it up. We found a tiered food puzzle toy which runs $18 on Chewy for $3 at a thrift shop and MacGyvered his feeder to empty down into this puzzle via foodsafe plastic pipe and he loves it!

I love puzzle feeders. Trying to really get out of the habit of just 'giving' treats. They get some sort of puzzle feeder at least once a day most of the time. If they ask for a snack they have to work for it. We're working on a sit/stay/recall at the moment and I'm so proud of their progress. Running low on the freeze dried fish though, it's almost time for a treat restock.

Fun fact for my kitty. She went through 3 puzzle toys before settling on one. I still remember her first toy, the ball that you put the treats in and they bat the ball around until the treats came out. My sassy girl does the equivalent of a football tackle on this poor ball, sending it flying across the room with food flying everywhere.

I only provide my cats with food puzzles. And the purring when it's feeding time is amazing. I've hacked that purple spiky food puzzle, after seeing a reel from Cat School - and my cat loves that little toilet roll hack. Ingrid Johnson has made some amazing food puzzles that can be double-stuffed. They are just fantastic.

Jackson, right now whatching you brings teers to my eyes. My beloved 14 year-old beloved abisinian magical cat passed on the 28/6/23. To listen to all the fun he could have had… He suffered so much to pas on! He was in my arms, no vet around to make it easy. I’m in a state of deep sadness, 87 and alone. I know you went through this painful experience so you understand. ❤

I have a 13 week old kitten who is MUCH too smart for his own good and curious and inquisitive and such. I've ordered a couple of food puzzles for him because if I don't, he might tear my house apart! It's a good thing he's cute!

One of my cat's favourite puzzle toys is an empty q-tip box with some treats inside. Cheap and entertaining!

I got my kitties on a new feeding schedule this year. My vet recommended I give them more, but smaller meals because they're both very smol girls. Milky ends up grazing with larger meals and Cookie has a tendency to scarf and barf. Despite daily debates with Milky about how no, lunch is still in an hour, I think the schedule works really well for them. Cookie has gotten over her trauma (she was abandoned and starving when she was found) enough to experiment with leaving a few bites on the plate to eat half an hour later. She learned that from Milky, who always does it. Whenever I crack open the snackies to put in their activity board or use in play, both of them get SO excited! Literally running circles around me yelling! It's so cute ♡

We got a food puzzle for our disabled cat, Audrey, but it turned out that our oldest cat, Sniffanie, absolutely loved it. So we got a second, harder puzzle. We also have kibble balls, which Gracie likes more. When Sniffanie gets to a puzzle, she will just keep it up, and kick the other cats out of the way, including Gracie, who is the alpha female.

I tried getting my cat into food puzzles, she's so smart! A pro tip for someone who's just starting, there's a thing called a treat towel. You can make it for free at home, just roll up a tea towel or a rag, anything, and put treats for your cat to find as the towel unwinds. My explanation might be lacking, but there's tons of videos online There's another product called Cat Amazing, a cardboard box with holes and slopes inside. In my case, they don't ship to my country so I just DIY-ed it haha. A short project but my second cat loves it. I have to hide it when they're done though, because my first cat is a fan of chewing up cardboard

Haylee here from Pittsburg! I have 4 cats and my newest loves watching your videos with me he is about 4 months old! 🧡

I started using puzzle toys for all my cats meals several years ago because I have one of the three cats who eat considerably faster, and it has been a game changer!

Michelle & Seabiscuit here from Boston!

My little dude LOVES puzzles. He knows that meeting for mom is puzzle time for him. And he likes them so much we are having trouble finding difficulty levels that he can't memorize 😂

We make our own puzzle toys. We drill holes into a very small water bottle, put food. My previous cat loves to push it around and get all the food out of there. Recently, we got some human kid soft toy which looks like cinnamon rolls. They roll up with Velcro. We stuffed treats in there and let the cats figure out how to open it up and get the treats.

I never thought about it before, but it seems obvious that solving puzzles is good for self-confidence and thus less subject to anxiety. I will step up on that for sure

I'm looking forward to this one! I have a very clever little 1 year old who LIVES for the challenge of treats in puzzles. I'm having a hard time find ones that are challenging enough for him. It's really the best part of his day.

My Scooter loves his Catit treat puzzle. Multilevels mak s it fun and challenging. I fill it up at 12:30 pm everyday. I am convinced he can tell time!

Love that no matter what I want to know about cats, cat daddy has a video about it! I want more ways to enrich and stimulate my cat, and this video is perfect to know more on what I should look for!

If you have toilet paper/paper towel rolls, tape, and a larger piece of cardboard? That's a pretty easy introduction to puzzle toys for your kittycat for zero dollars. Make small snips along the bottom of the tubes so you can tape them down onto the cardboard vertically. Cut them down to a good length for your cat to reach their little paws in. Tape them down securely, and pop some crunchy treats in there. Cats will reach in there and pull the treats up along the side of the tube. If you're not sure your cat will like puzzles and you don't want to shell out money before you're certain, you can try this. It's similar to one of the ones that Mikel shows (the white one with the green tubes). You just have to make sure the cardboard is big enough that they can't knock it over! A cat will always take the laziest (most efficient) route to get their treats.

@awesome video, Jackson! Thank you. I love Dr. Delgado! She is so smart and so cool. Please have her back on your channel soon and often. 😊

I have puzzle toys for my cats and they go nuts for them... they are still free fed but that prey drive is what does it for them. They just love solving them. Half the time they don't even eat from them, they just like uncovering everything and playing with them. It's just another toy they love. And if the puzzle has food in it they pretty much ignore the food bowl completely. And I've even set the puzzle down beside their food bowl and nope, they pushed their food bowl with the same food as the puzzle out of the way to solve the puzzle and get it. So there are some cats who are less food motivated and more just in love with the play in general.

Fan of Doc & Phoebe's hunting feeder for my cat. Has made a big difference for my scarfer.

My 2 youngest absolutely love puzzle toys! We have the one basic toy with the cups and they both figured it out in less than 30 seconds, so I made a box with holes in it and that didn't last long either. Every autoship box has a cardboard panel in it, so that becomes a treat barrier. Treats go under and the panel over, again, our youngest boy has mastered it! For sure going to check out the website for more engaging toys to keep them busy! This was 100% up our alley and much appreciated!!

You and Mikel absolutely rock!!! Thanks for the excellent suggestions - LOVE the snuffle mat! You inspired me to get two more lick mats for my cats. In the spirit of environmentalism, I would love a video with some ideas for DIY puzzle toys using common household items like toilet paper rolls, old clothes, boxes, etc. Thanks for everything and sending all love, all light, and all cat mojo!!! 💜✨️😸

OMG!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for this video!! This ABSOLUTELY applies to my boy Sabbath. He's a 1 yr old Tuxie and he is VERY active, VERY intelligent and absolutely into everything. I started free feeding, even though you say not to, because he seemed like he was just not getting enough food. I was doing twice a day meals of 2 cups of wet/dry food. One cup of each just gently mixed. But he was always "begging" for more. Water has been always freely given, as much as he wants all day, he drinks from a fountain so its fresh, aerated water. When I would say he would "beg" for food, he started going to the Plastic Kibble container I would dump his bag into. Constantly scratching at, clawing at it, knocking it over, using his head to push it all around the kitchen, trying to get to the kibble. The way he was acting, you would think I was starving my poor FUR TODDLER. Then I started putting the Kibble Box in the kitchen cabinet, behind a door. He figured out how to open the cabinets with his little paw. So I put child locks on the cabinet doors. He figured out how to PULL DOWN the little latch with his paw and nudge his nose and head in the crack of the door to get it open. The final straw was one afternoon I came home with groceries and left the UNOPENED bag of kibble on the kitchen table. I didn't immediately pour it in the Kibble Box and put it away the way I usually did. Then my neighbor knocked on the door and I stepped next door for just a few minutes. I didn't think about that I couldn't leave it unattended, JUST for a few minutes, I was coming right back. Main thing I remember was, I came back like 10 min later and in that short amount of time he had chewed/tore a HOLE THE SIZE OF HIS HEAD, though the THICK plastic/paper in the bottom of the bag, then proceeded to pull the bag off the table and onto the floor. There was spilled Kibble all over the kitchen table, in the chairs and on the floor. THAT FAST, and it was a 10 lb bag of Kibble. And this only a 5 LB Cat, IDK how it was possible for him to chew through it that fast, let alone move it anywhere. I don't know why I didn't think about puzzle boards at that time, but it didn't even occur to me. My solution was I started putting the entire bag of kibble in the Pantry, behind a closed door with a knob he CAN'T open and basically just combining his 2 meals into 1. He gets Four Cups of wet/dry mix in the morning and is just allowed to eat on that all day at his leisure. That did away with the problem of him "fighting" with the Kibble Box/cabinets every day and he's been much calmer about his food. But this Puzzle Toy feeding system seems like SUCH a better idea. Dr. Mikel's info was SOO awesome. Sounds like she was TOTALLY talking about my Boy. I WANT that Windmill Thing.... TY for this....

love the talk about toys for cats

​I love this! I have a 4 year old ginger I just adopted that would really benefit from these ideas!

i bought one of those unbalanced ball movers that really didn't keep my cat entertained for long at all (literally 2 minutes) but now that i've repurposed it as a "wobbly unbalanced treat dispenser"... he's lovin' it :)

Hey! You made Espiga a cat education helper! (Green puzzle bowl, black cat) We are tickled! So are all his friends and the rescue mama who pulled his litter from the mean streets and connected Espiga with us ❤

I 3D printed and bought some puzzle toys for my cats. I expected my play motivated one to catch on instantly by just knocking it around but my lazy food motivated boy actually got it instantly.

I bought a licking mat and a puzzle feeder immediately after watching this video! I found both online under the "dog puzzle feeders" category. I always look for items to keep my cat's mojo healthy but never saw the items I just got. Thanks to this video, my options expanded :-)

I have always free fed my cats, and they love their puzzle feeders anyway. No, they are not overweight. Since this has always worked for my kitties, I feel lucky I haven't experienced the food issues other people deal with.

I've had great success with puzzle toys for my cat. She's the kind of cat that needs a lot of both physical and mental challenges to be happy. I've made some toys myself, but I'm also really happy with some of the toys that Nina Ottosson makes. The puzzles she makes are sturdy, easy to clean and you can vary them so you don't just get one, but multiple puzzles. My cat also loves it when I hide treats around the living room and tell her to 'search'.

Getting a norwegian kitten in about 2 weeks, so need to help him settle into his new forever home. Keep him busy. Thanks Jackson 🐈🇳🇿

Very interesting! The next time I get a cat (I miss my boys) I will invest in a couple of puzzle toys. Now, the next puzzle for me is where I can get that shirt you're wearing in the video. I have the purrfect pair of pants to go with it.

I liked your little nod to "The Dude" when you mentioned being motivated. Chuckleicious indeed.

I discovered puzzle toys one year ago, and it has been the best investment ever. They keep my cat active and engaged, and he always runs to me when he hears the sound of the toy being taken from the shelf to charge. Previously, I used to spend money on new toys every two months, but he would lose interest after just 15 minutes of playing with them. Puzzle toys are a game changer.

We love puzzles but we also love a good hunt arpund the house for treats on all the cat shelves😊

My cats lovingly share a food ball - they actually take it in turns and a small handful lasts ages - if you pick up the ball they get so excited - they love it

Excellent! The whole jaw movement/serotonin connection was a mind blower! BTW, love the shirt! ❤️🙏

Thank you !!! I almost bought one a week ago and didn't I'm going to go pick it up later today!!!

Love the shirt Jackson. It’s fun like a puzzle game!!! 😂

Cool, I didn't know there were puzzle toys for wet food. Thanks so much for this! 😸

This video is just in time! One of my cats is super intelligent and he figures out stuff early and gets bored immediately right after. I needed this for him to stay entertained. Or else I will be meow'ed at forever.

I needed this video! Thank you! We have 2 smarty-pant cats. One is a big boy sweetheart tabby named Toby and then we just adopted Lily who is a tabby/tortie. She is definitely a tortie! I know they get bored when we are gone, and we have one puzzle toy but its an easy one. We play a lot with lasers, feathers and going outside for some home grown cat grass or catnip. We are creating a backyard where they can play, hide, bounce and eat stuff. We even installed a new fence thats safe for cats. We do nightly stroller walks and weekly grocery and lunch walks. But I never thought about puzzle toys for feeding time and watch them grow into brainiacs!

And yes Jackson so thanks to you I convinced my girlfriend that we need to feed our Queen wet food so thank you so very much for your videos!

My cat loves puzzle toys, and we have several of the ones shown in this video, BUT...the trouble is, he is SO smart that he has figured them all out, and they are too easy for him now. We are definitely overdue for something new and challenging, so thanks for the resource! Will definitely be checking out the website.

Going to the shelter and picking up a Bengal in two weeks and I feel like I'm definitely on the path to a happy and healthy baby..

We have several kinds of cat puzzles, the CatAmazing boxes are great and always a favorite for both Neema and Mikha.

My cat is not food motivated but I add different foods into separate puzzle feeders across my little flat. She enjoys going from one to another to pass the time. I also keep one or two hidden away and then cycle them around.

I’m going to chime in and say that I can’t recommend cat puzzles. My cats are siblings. Contrary to the “solitary hunter” stereotype, I have indeed seen them working together to corner their prey (usually a poor little spider.) They do chase each other, stalk, hide, wrestle, etc. and I have an entire “box” of toys for them. They love ping pong balls. I get a six pack for a dollar. One has a stuffed elephant he carries around. They all have different toy preferences. I decided to get cat puzzles after watching this video. It was VERY interesting to see them work together and clearly one cat figured out the concepts first then a second cat saw what she was doing and took over and of course there’s always a dumb one in the group who just bullies the prize from one of the others. But, overall, they sat together to watch each other “work” these puzzles for food and all learned. Fun, right? Wrong. This was basic training. They all learned to solve puzzles to acquire food and learned how to capitalize on their team skills too. NOT A SMART IDEA for INDOOR cats!!!!! It was like the little gizmo fluffballs turned into gremlins!!!! They applied their problem solving skills to anywhere they smelled food! They got into everything in my kitchen! They opened their food bins and my cabinets!! The entire kitchen became like one giant cat puzzle to solve!!!!!! Not cool! Instead, I recommend a cat bench by a window with a nice bird feeder in view. It captivates them for hours and only costs about $2 for a no mess suet cake. WAY cheaper than a cat puzzle and your cats don’t learn how to be destructive gremlins to find food. They have no idea that your cabinets aren’t just another cat puzzle to solve!

I've developed a chronic anemia I can't get a handle on, and I don't have the energy to play with my spastic orange cat as much as he really needs. Reccomendations like this are really helpful.

I have two rambunctious boys, and one is much better at problem solving and scavenging than the other. Has anyone had experience with setting up puzzle feeding with multiple pets that might compete for food? Edit to add: I love when you bring in more experts and sources into your videos for review and learning. I throughly enjoyed this interview and the link to some studies!

I wish I knew about puzzle toys when my family cat who was a scarf and barfer was still alive. I had a snuffle mat and digger puzzle toy for my cat who passed away about 3 months ago. She loved them! When I am ready to adopt, I definitely plan to incorporate puzzles

hey jackson!! i know you made a tips video for moving before but i would love if you could make a video with advice on driving long distance with cats! im moving in 2 months and it’s an 8 hour drive with two cats and i’m so nervous!! sos 😭

Thank you! I have a few puzzle toys for my dog but NEVER considered them for my cat. The lick mat will be a huge hit with her I think.

Years ago I made a cat puzzle out of paper towel & toilet paper tubes. I vertically glued paper towel tubes cut from short to long to a pizza box lid. Also, a pyramid of toilet paper tubes horizontally. The small diameter of the tubes forced them to put in a paw and dig/pull out cat food. If I were to get puzzles now, I'd be choosier about the dry food ingredients.

Just got a 6 month old kitty. Can not wait to watch all of your videos to learn how to keep her happy. Thank you so much for sharing how to have a happy cat!!!

What a great idea. Thanks for talking about this topic.🙏😺

I am just now watching this because today's video referenced it. I have a suggestion for cat parents who are financially challenged as I was. Plastic Easter eggs. Around Easter, you can get a dozen for around one dollar. They have tiny Scent holes in each end from the manufacturing process. A few pieces of kibble turn these into unpredictably rolling rattles. My cats enjoy "killing" these for the rewards.

We had a peek and play box that was covered in faux grass with bell balls inside. They tore that thing to shreds. So a favorite toy can work also.

Great video Jackson Galaxy

OMG. The unicorn bit is the absolute best.

my cat keeps flipping his dish all over the place like it's a puzzle already, maybe i should try this

LOVED THIS, VERY INFORMATIVE...WILL TRY WITH MY "FUR BABY" , SHE'S BEEN VERY "LACK LUSTER" WHEN IT COMES TO PLAY...BTW, LOVIN YOUR SHIRT!!😉✌️

I missed this live because of naptime. I need to find the right puzzle toy for my cat.

@jacksongalaxy Speaking of raw food, what do you think of freeze dried raw food?

I'm still figuring out a bit how to get one of my cats to like puzzle toys. She's not the most keen on it. My other cat loves it. She's also the one that indeed knocks things off of tables and jumps on the kitchen counter all the time etc to either get out attention or to try and find food. She loves puzzles. Both of em can also do funny little tricks I taught them, which is always fun to do! A fun tip for anyone who doesn't have a ton of money: You can easily decide to just hide treats or food around the room in fun places for them to find. I often do this whenever I give them their last meal, which is usually wet food. If I have any form of leftovers, I tend to hide the spoon or cup or whatever somewhere in the room for them to find when they finish. They love it! I do it with treats as well sometimes. Another one is a towel puzzle: Lay out a towel and put a line of treats or any other food on it. Roll the towel up and leave one treat at the beginning of the roll. Of course the first time around you gotta make it easy for them. But the objective here is for them to roll out the towel themselves to find the treats. You can also use cups and stuff like that you already have lying around and put treats in there for them to try and fish out. You can even use toilet paper for it. Another fun one I love is whenever I end up with used tin foil. Gotta make sure it hasn't been in contact with anything that's bad for the cats of course. But I like to put it in a glass or box and put treats in between them. They gotta fish it out but this time it takes more effort. You can also decide to use some form of old cloth, like a worn out shirt and hide treats in there for them to find. I'm quite sure, which I haven't tried myself yet, there's probably a way in which you can make it move to seem there's a mouse underneath and they can pounce on it and be rewarded with a treat afterwards. I personally don't have a ton of money, but I do try to find ways to entertain my cats. I also made my own wand toys with some chopsticks, string and things like feathers and old cloth. They love it. And the bonus for me is thay they are a lot more sturdy than the wand toys in store that cost a dollar. I have had wand toys for 2 years now that are still holding up and all of those are ones I made myself. When it comes to the hunting thing in puzzle toys, it is possible. I have this little ball thing where I can put treats in. They play with it sometimes outside of it being a puzzle toy. So sometimes, when they're very playful, I will put treats in them without them knowing. They often pounce it and then play with it and as they roll around with it, it'll drop some random treats out of nowhere. That way they're suddenly surprised with it. It makes it the most fun if you don't do it all the time so that it creates this effect where they don't know if it will give them a treat or not. That makes it all the more interesting for them. So, those are some fun tips for people out there, especially with low budget.

My kitties love their snuffle mat!

Started Keak (means to cackle or laugh) my 1 yr old Ginger boy on the lady bug puzzle last week, had it all figured out in a matter of minutes. We don't put dry food on his bowl anymore we put a smaller portion spread out in the puzzle with a few treats in the harder parts. He's loving it and so are we. Thank you JG!!

Thank You Jackson!!

I am anxious to try a puzzle toy because the only toy I’ve found that my Persian will play with is a laser pointer that we play with together. He was estimated to be 8 years old when I brought him home last September. I don’t know if he ever had toys before but he certainly isn’t very interested in them now and he’s not active enough. After his 5 minute grooming session every evening, I have started teaching him a few tricks so at least he’s doing that. He loves the treats! So many a puzzle toy session in the morning will get him moving. Thanks!

One of my cats is a former scarf and barfer. The snuffle mat has completely eliminated this! 10 /10 recommend.

Once again Mr Galaxy, you've knocked a video out of the park!

We got our cat a treat tower. Three levels enclosed with holes to reach in. Pour treats into top layer, kitty has to look, go in with paw, snag out directly or knock through hole to next level until the treat drops out the bottom. She loves it!

Your thumbnail showed one Catit toy I've got, and your video showed a different Catit toy I have lol...makes me smile knowing I'm on the right path, and excited to watch your review video. Thank-You

I'm on the hunt for all kinds of toys. Almost a month ago, we were handed a kitten that was found at an industrial work site. This kitten is now 10 weeks old and rarely ever rests. He's super active and constantly looking for a good hunt.

Off topic question for you Jackson, how can I get my cat to eat wet food? She only likes kibble.

Thank you Jackson! You taught me something new again today. My cat thanks you too, he's much happier since I started watching your videos. He's a "rescue" who adopted me about 10 years ago. I don't know what I would do without my friend/ family member, he's great company!

Fun & interesting as always. Thanks.

i have the raincloud puzzle tray shown at 15:24 and it works great!! it has a few different ways to challenge a cat, but its pretty important to use something that can be smelled easily my cat is a bit quick with it, he always has been, but its good to set up when i need him out of the kitchen. great video!!

Oh I would love to see an exploration of a whole bunch of different puzzle toys! I've never seen that windmill type before lol

Cats are life. Wonderful video. Playing and entertaining cats is important.

Yeah, my cat Willow is the Tesla of Cats. I think she’d figure that windmill out in 10 mins. She’s SCARY smart.

Your shirt is fabulous! Thanks as always for the great advice to help us enrich our kitties lives!

My cat loves puzzle toys! Love finding this and all the resources for them. Thank you 🙏

My cat was scarfing&barfing so we went to the pet store looking for a timed feeder and ended up seeing a puzzle board which I'd never heard of before and I thought it was genius and WAY more affordable than a timed feeder. It definitely solved the scarf&barf problem and she loves it!
