Two-Level Strategy Board with Ball Lids and Open Tubes
Product Description
The Trixie Cat Activity Pentagon is an interactive strategy board game for cats featuring two challenge levels in one toy. It includes six deep open compartments for dry food and five ball-shaped lids that hide treats underneath for cats to uncover. Placing dry food in the center compartments increases the level of difficulty as cats advance. The non-slip rubber base ring keeps the board stable during play, and all parts are dishwasher safe for quick cleaning.

How to Use
Play Instructions
- Start with Open Compartments: For beginners, place treats only in the six open deep compartments so your cat can discover and retrieve them easily.
- Add Ball-Lid Challenge: Once your cat is comfortable with the open compartments, place treats underneath the five ball-shaped lids and let your cat paw the balls aside.
- Use Center for Difficulty: To increase the challenge further, place dry food in the center of the deep compartments so your cat must search across all areas of the board to find every treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does this toy work for cats?
Ans: This is a round strategy board with two challenge levels. Six deep open compartments hold dry food, and five ball-shaped lids cover hidden treat compartments. Cats must use their paws to remove the balls and dig into the tubes to find and retrieve all their hidden rewards.
Q2: What are the two challenge levels on this board?
Ans: Level one uses the six open deep compartments where cats can easily paw out treats. Level two involves the five ball-shaped lids, which cats must push aside to access hidden treats underneath. Placing food in the center tubes adds a third layer of challenge for advanced cats.
Q3: How do I increase the difficulty for my cat?
Ans: To increase difficulty, start by hiding treats under all five ball-shaped lids instead of only the open compartments. You can also place dry food in the center deep compartments so your cat must search the entire board to find every hidden treat during each enrichment session.
Q4: Is this toy dishwasher safe?
Ans: Yes, all parts of this toy are fully dishwasher safe. Simply remove the ball-shaped lids and place all components on the top rack of the dishwasher after use. Shake out any remaining treat pieces first to avoid food residue from building up inside the compartments during washing.
Q5: What treats should I use with this toy?
Ans: Use only small, bite-size dry treats or dry kibble with this toy. Wet, moist, or sticky foods are not suitable as they are difficult to clean from the ball lid and open compartments. Always use treats appropriate for your cat's dietary requirements and recommended daily portion size.
Q6: Is this toy safe for cats to use with food?
Ans: Yes, this Trixie board is made from BPA, phthalate, and lead-free plastic, making all surfaces food-safe and completely non-toxic for cats. It is designed for daily treat-based enrichment play and is safe for use with dry food and treats.
Q7: Is this toy suitable for cats of different ages?
Ans: Yes, this toy is suitable for cats of different ages, from curious kittens to senior cats. The two adjustable challenge levels make it ideal for beginners and more experienced puzzle cats alike. Starting with open compartments helps younger or less experienced cats build confidence during initial sessions.
