2:1 - Using Food Puzzles for Cats: Tips, Toys, & Foraging Games
Description
In this episode, I chat with cat behaviorist Ingrid Johnson about food puzzles for cats and how they can provide enrichment and mental exercise! 🐾 We cover how to transition cats from free-feeding to puzzle feeding, using puzzles for wet food, starting with easier puzzles and progressing to harder ones, and feeding multiple cats. Ingrid also shares tips for cats who aren’t food motivated, puzzle toy recommendations, and fun foraging activities that don’t involve food. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to keep their cat engaged, challenged, and mentally stimulated.
