Here’s a simple and fun DIY guide for creating a Cat Puzzle Feeder you can make at home using just a few household items!

🧰 Materials Needed:

  • 1 empty cardboard box (medium size, like a shoebox)
  • Several toilet paper rolls or cut-up paper towel rolls
  • Scissors
  • Cat treats or dry kibble

🛠️ Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Box:
    • Remove any tape or labels from the cardboard box.
    • Cut the top flaps off if you want it open, or leave them to make it more challenging.

  2. Cut and Arrange the Rolls:
    • Cut the paper towel rolls into smaller sections if needed.
    • Stand the rolls upright inside the box, packing them tightly so they don’t fall over.

  3. Secure the Rolls (Optional):
    • You can glue or tape the rolls to the bottom of the box for extra stability. (Be sure to use a non-toxic glue.)

  4. Add the Treats:
    • Drop a few cat treats or pieces of kibble into some of the rolls.

  5. Let the Fun Begin!
    • Place the puzzle feeder on the floor and let your cat explore, sniff, and paw at the treats.

🧠 Benefits:

  • Mental Stimulation: Encourages problem-solving and curiosity.

  • Physical Activity: Promotes movement and paw-eye coordination.

  • Enrichment: Keeps indoor cats entertained and reduces boredom.

  • Fun to Watch: It’s adorable to see your cat figure it out!
