Puzzle Toys for Cats
Lately, I have really been interested in cat puzzle toys. Here is a list of ones I know about – some we have reviewed and some we haven’t (I’ve included a list of all of them below the photo, so you can see our reviews, if you want). Would be curious about your experience with any of these toys!
- Catit Design Senses Treat Maze – sells on Amazon for $15.57. We have not reviewed this one yet – but I would love to try it out.
- Cat Amazing – Best Cat Toy Ever! Interactive Puzzle Box Game for Cats – sells on Amazon for $14.95. This is a great one – we have reviewed it – and you can see our video here.
- Dog Spinny – Nina Ottosson Interactive Pet Toy – sells on Amazon for $19.07. This was our very first cat puzzle toy that we reviewed – it was an immediate hit – see our video here.
- Nina Ottoson Treat Maze Interactive Game for Cats – sells on Amazon for $19.99. We reviewed this one recently – here is the video – it isn’t terribly challenging, but good for a busy food motivated cat.
- Ethical Pet Seek-A-Treat Flip ‘N Flap Dog Puzzle – sells on Amazon for $15.66. We have not reviewed this one – I love that it’s made of wood for the environment, but not sure how sanitary it would be over time.
- Dog Tornado- Nina Ottosson Interactive Pet Toy – sells on Amazon for $24.12. We just reviewed this one too. Here is the video – it is definitely more challenging than the Dog Spinny, but overall, I still like the Dog Brick (#12) best.
- Ethical Pet Seek-A-Treat Shuffle Bone Dog Puzzle – sells on Amazon for $12.09 – this reminds me of the Dog Brick, but in the wood version. Again concerned about sanitary-ness.
- Stimulo Cat Feeding Station and Activity Center – sells on Amazon for $24.95. Love this one and they just announced an upgrade at Global Pet Expo! Here’s our video.
- Trixie Mad Scientist for Cats – sells on Amazon for $29.99. Floppycats reader, Gale, recently told me about this one and #10 – interested in trying them out.
- Trixie 5-in-1 Activity Center – sells on Amazon for $46.12
- SmartyKat Seek ‘a Boo Paw Puzzle Cat Toy – sells on Amazon for $9.31. Have seen something similar at CVS and wondered how interested the cats would be. I think Chiggy would like it more.
- Dog Brick – Nina Ottosson’s Interactive Dog Toy – sells on Amazon for $21.89. This is probably my favorite of them all. Here’s our video. But you’ve got to have a food motivated cat!

Hi, I’m Jenny Dean, creator of Floppycats! Ever since my Aunt got the first Ragdoll cat in our family, I have loved the breed. Inspired by my childhood Ragdoll cat,
I just bought #1 Catit Senses Maze (I actually bought the ball/track and massage center, too). My 3 kitties like it but have not really gotten too excited about it. I have it set with lots of treats so they can get multiple rewards if they just barely play with it. I think I need to put a new type of treat in it to really hook them on playing with it. I love that I can load it up and walk away leaving it for them whenever they decide to go for it. (I have a miniature schnauzer and he leaves it alone.) I also use dry cat food (a kind that they do not get on a regular basis) as their treat. It is not only less expensive than the packaged treats, it is not loaded with stuff they don’t need to be eating. I have tried the high end (dried meats) and they love them but they are so expensive and I don’t think they would work well in this maze.
Here’s another one that I was thinking about buying – the Kyjen Dog Games Star Spinner Treat Toy:
It’s a lot like your #6 but it’s not a dog bone!
Thanks, Nanette – if you end up getting the Kyjen Dog Games Star Spinner Treat Toy, I’d love to know what you think of it!
Oh – and I am interested in the Catit Senses Maze, Ball/Track and Massage Center – let me know how they like those, please!
We have the Stimulo Cat Feeding Station and Activity Center. Too easy for my Raggies. One (Freya) doesn’t play with it as she doesn’t like too many kinds of treats. The rest love it. Freyr usually has all the treats gone before anyone else get a chance though lol
Yes, I really do think you have to have a food motivated cat!
Oh how cute those toys are and imagine your cat is actually playing this. A great time to spend with those free joys and whimpering cats.
You don’t know what a puzzle toy is until you have Brothers and Sisters, the Boys attack their sister’s tails and constantly want to
know like Mom does that really have to be attached to her? That would
make a great chew toy!
