The Doc & Phoebe Indoor Cat Hunting Feeder is a naturalistically designed solution for feline owners that will help them to encourage more activity and better health in a simple way.

The feeder is designed to be filled with kibble and hidden somewhere in the home to encourage cats to seek it out instead of simply heading to their bowl when they're hungry. This promotes exploration, play and a more active lifestyle for cats, while also stimulating their inherent desire to hunt for their food.

The Doc & Phoebe Indoor Cat Hunting Feeder has a mouse-shaped designed and speaks to the increased need for ways to keep indoor pets healthy as more consumers shift to smaller urban homes.
