The Catstages Buggin’ Out Puzzle Feeder turns treats or dry food into a hands-on search activity. Sixteen hidden compartments, sliding bugs and leaf covers encourage cats to paw, slide, uncover and investigate while working for a measured portion of food.

Puzzle difficulty: Level 2 (intermediate)

The puzzle holds approximately a quarter cup, making it useful for reward-based enrichment or part of a dry-food meal. Difficulty can be adjusted as the cat learns. Begin with several treats clearly visible and partially open the compartments before expecting more complex movements. A successful puzzle should be engaging rather than frustrating.

Using the Buggin’ Out feeder

Place it on a stable, non-slip surface and supervise the first sessions. Count the food used in the puzzle as part of the daily allowance. Remove crumbs after use and clean the feeder according to the manufacturer’s instructions. It is not intended for cats that chew and swallow plastic components or for wet food unless the product instructions explicitly permit it.

Continue the operation

Use our complete puzzle-feeder guide to compare difficulty levels. If Level 2 is currently too demanding, begin with the Hunt ’N Swat Treat Tumbler. For a harder assignment, move up to the Rainy Day Level 3 puzzle. Load the compartments with suitably sized crunchy cat treats or dry food.

A note from management

Sixteen compartments went dark.

The bugs moved first. The leaves followed. Several treats disappeared before Management could secure the scene.

The Surveillance Division has reviewed the footage. The suspect used one paw and showed no remorse.
