Multi-Compartment Snack Game with Cones, Lids, and Sliders

The Trixie Cat Activity Hide N' Slide is a fun and challenging board game created to stimulate cats' minds through four different enrichment techniques. Treats are hidden inside compartments with hinged lids and sliders, and cats must use different techniques to open each one.

How to Use

Play Instructions

• Start at Easy Level: For beginners, place treats inside the compartments without using the cone stoppers so your cat can discover and open each compartment easily.
• Vary Treat Placement: Place treats under different hinged lids, sliders, and compartments in varying combinations to keep the challenge fresh and prevent your cat from memorizing the treat locations.
• Use Cone Stoppers: Once your cat masters the basic compartments, place the cone stoppers over compartment openings to block access and increase the difficulty, rewarding persistence and problem-solving effort.
