Cat Amazing CLASSIC

This is a wonderful, ingenious toy. The way it works is that, once put together (it's really just a matter of folding a single, ready-shaped piece into the right form and then setting the second interior piece inside), is that one side of the toy is easiest for the cat to retrieve treats or toys from, based on where the various holes and "walls" are, and then from front to back the holes and walls are aligned in such a way that the items you put inside are trickier to get out. This was a great idea as you can start your kitty at the basic level and then, if he or she becomes bored or too good, you can work your way towards more challenging rewards. The box is sturdy, it's kind of like a thick shoebox but a bit flatter and more spread out (I'd estimate the box to be about 3-4 inches high, a foot wide, and a foot and a half long). It's compact enough, folds tightly and is supported by the interior "walls" so it should support most cats stepping on it. It's designed for that, after all. The box itself is very pleasant and cheerful, decorated with grass and butterflies and mice, and it - as well as the colorful pamphlets that come with it - are loaded with personality. My favorite was probably a drawing of the box showing the different difficulty levels with a scrawl on the easy end that read something like "dis side so ez even dog cud do it. - Cat". It's adorable. The package itself is just as cute, so much so that I won't even be throwing it away. It also includes helpful info such as humane alternatives to declawing, as well as the fact that a portion of the sales go to support animal charities. This toy is just win-win-win. Cats are fussy so remember, not every one will like every toy. If yours doesn't like this one, don't be discouraged and try various treats or various tricks (one of mine, for example, kept nosing the box along the floor to try to figure out how to get the treat and was happier once I put it in a place that was less mobile). And if your cat just won't accept it at all, please don't throw it away. Give it to your local shelter where any number of cats would be guaranteed to love it. And try not to be mad at the company - the effort they put into this toy is evident. It's a charming item made by people who clearly love cats as much as we do. Remember, cats are picky! For whatever it's worth though, mine very much enjoy the toy and I'm glad that I got it for them. Great for sharpening hunting instincts, great way for parceling out treats, food or toys, sturdily (and adorably) made, and a price point that's pretty much perfect. I love it.

UPDATE: 1 year later and this is still the favorite toy of all 3 cats in my house. I usually put it away for a couple of weeks and take it out again for them randomly. Love this toy! ‐-------------- I opened my package and I was like - I just spent nearly $20 on a box with holes?! Ah well, anything for my babies! Let me tell you, this is their most FAVORITE toy on the planet, and they pretty much do have every toy on the planet. All 3 of my cats (even the 10 year old fussy ones who don't play much) play with this. I specifically bought it for my 1 year old girl (she plays with it the most), who is very smart and active. She loves a challenge, and I wanted to embrace it. She loves this toy so much, that she cries for more treats after she gets them all out (see the video :) ). She also likes to put her favorite toys inside of the box (all by herself)! This is an awesome toy, which provokes thought and a sense of hunting for her. The reward that she receives by figuring out the puzzle, keeps her happy, driven, entertained and thinking. I only hope that this company will one day make different versions (beginner, medium and advanced maybe?). I'd love to have a few of these to swap out with eachother every week, to keep my girl's minds sharp! As for durability - she's pushed it all around with her nose, she's jumped on it, she's clawed at it, rolled on it. The other cats often play with it too (though mostly she gets all of the treats before they get a chance - she's very determined). Still standing! Awesome toy! Trust me - buy the box. It is so worth it!!!

I was surprised it is made from sturdy cardboard. For somereason I thought bit was wood. However. It's very sturdy. Easy to assemble especially if you have experience with bankers (filing) boxes and moving boxes. One older kitten got the treats inside relatively fast. Her brother not so much. He took a good 24hrs to figure it out! Bless his heart. This is a great piece in your arsenal for cat entertainment. I live in an apartment that does not provide enough stimulation on its own.

The moment I put it down and placed her favourite treats in the hole suggested she took straight to it and worked out really quickly how to get them out her own way.

I purchased this for my 10-year-old cat. He is a manx and is very treat-oriented. I had started him off a couple of years earlier on one of those treat balls that you roll around, and then added the Senses Treat Maze (the round one on the ground with two options inside the dome). Each time I introduced one of these things, he first looked at me like, "You're kidding me, right?" But then I'd show him his treats were inside and help him out a bit. Then, even for an older cat, he caught on and eagerly looked forward to his treat-puzzle time. I began looking for some variety in puzzles to keep his brain challenged, so when I saw this Cat Amazing one, I thought I'd try it. The low-environmental impact of the cardboard also appealed to me. It comes in a very cute package that you easily set up with the instructions provided. It's very sturdy and durable, yet light. I've had it for 6 months and it still looks new. My cat took to this right away. It was easy to assemble and makes him work for his food, and he seems to be using more hunting instincts than with the other toys. He's sniffing, peeking through holes, and using strategy to get the treats out. What has also been great is that I've been able to swap the Temptations for the larger-sized dental food that the vet wants him to have as a therapeutic treat for his teeth. The larger pieces are a bit easier to navigate the inside maze, so he likes that it's not too overly hard. Since this was a hit with my older cat, I have ordered more and gifted them to two of my friends who have kittens. Big hit. Kept the one kitten occupied for well over an hour during our visit. She would have kept going had we kept adding more treats. If my cat was young again, I might have replaced his daily food dish for an interactive activity like this. I'd highly recommend this to anyone with a cat. The other puzzle my cat loves is the Trixie Brain Mover (blue/white). Every morning he eagerly waits for me to put his healthy treats in it (shhh - don't tell him they're healthy!). Then every evening, he gets treats in his Cat Amazing puzzle. We have a great routine. My only regret is that I didn't even know these things existed until he was 8-10 years old. Now we're making up for lost time.

Best experience with the Seller Nova, he was so Kind and understanding. 10 Stars but i can only Rate 5 :) Recommend for every Cat Person to bring joy to your friends with the Amazing cute Toy

Initially I just thought it was an expensive cardboard box that my cat paid no attention to but after a while she really got into digging the treats out and she looks so cute when she does. She loves this box! Five paws review!

Our cats love it but are tearing It apart. Needs to be a bit thicker. We’re bolstering it with duct tape
