Cat Amazing is a treat maze and puzzle toy made from corrugated cardboard that offers one of the most entertaining objects for cats to play with: a cardboard box.
The toy has different openings located on top and sides of the box. On the inside there is an insert piece of cardboard with 3 colors representing three levels of difficulty for your cat to defeat and keep him entertained: beginners, intermediate and top cat. These 3 colors are the best seen by cats.
This maze cardboard is an ingenious toy that helps stimulate your cat mentally and physically, helping your pet to develop solving skills. You can put inside either treats, dry food or a small toy of your cat’s preference.
Cat Amazing is made from 30% recycled cardboard. Also, the unit is 100% recyclable, with certified metal-free inks on its prints.
FEATURES
- Stimulates your cat mentally and physically

- Encourages the feline instinct to sniff, search and scoop hidden treats
- With 3 levels of difficulty to challenge your cat and improve its solving skills

How Cat Amazing Treat Maze & Puzzle works
You put treats or small toys inside the box and your cat needs to retrieve them by pushing and pulling out to scoop treats through the various openings.
Inside the box there is an cardboard insert that creates 3 divisions or channels with different colors. Each color represents a level of difficulty that your cat needs to reach through the different shaped openings located on top and sides of the box.
Each of the three colored channels feature openings on sides as well, making treats hide underneath the insert so your cat needs to reach them and get them out.
The easiest maze is green for “Beginners”, the purple area on the center is for “intermediate” and the yellow channel is for a “Top Cat”.
