I love the concept behind food puzzles, also known as foraging toys or puzzle toys. Even though most food puzzles are not designed to be used with canned or raw food, and I’m a firm advocate that cats should not eat dry food, you can still take advantage of these toys by using freeze dried treats instead of dry food or treats. And while I don’t recommend feeding a lot of fish based food or treats, bonita tuna flakes also work well for these toys, since you only need a very small amount to get your little hunter excited.Continue Reading

It felt worse than the grief I experienced after my mother died a few years earlier. And then, after what seemed like endless days and weeks of trying to find something, anything, that would make the pain go away, I met Kathy Reiter.Continue Reading
