This feeding center can be used by cats with or without claws.

HOW DOES THE STIMULO CAT FEEDING STATION WORK?
The product comes with 6 tubes 1.8” high which are “Level 0” and 3 tubes 3” high which are “Level 1”. You simply pour the kibbles into the holes for your cat to pull them out with the paws. As your pet gets used to it, you can increase the difficulty with the 3” high tubes. You can also purchase higher levels tubes separately.
The tubes are all labeled with the volume of food they hold (1/5 cup, 1/2 cup, etc) which is convenient if you want to control your cat’s intake.

Some cats get the hang of this toy right away while others take longer. If your cat is old and has never worked to get its treats this might work for him or it might not.

I’ve seen this before. Very helpful. I’ve totally bought into the cat’s need to engage with their food.
Think about how crazy you’d be if your instincts were denied?
