HOW DOES NINA OTTOSSON CAT TREAT MAZE WORK?
The Nina Ottosson Cat Treat Maze has been designed for your cat to bat at the disk and move it so that it wobbles and spins around making the treats to drop out from the side openings.
You can put treats in the top opening, on the sides or all compartments as well, depending on how much challenge you want for your cat. To increase the difficulty level, you can place a piece of paper towel in one of the holes of both top and bottom so that treats fall out only from one opening per side. As your cat practices, it will get the hang of how to spin the disk to make it release the treats. Nina Ottosson Cat Treat Maze is made with durable no toxic and dishwasher safe plastic. As a safety measure, the toy does not have any sharp edges.

This is something you won’t know until you get the Nina Ottoson Maze.
