Cat Amazing's 'EPIC!' puzzle feeder provides stimulation for indoor cats and a design based around the idea that a hunt involves a challenge and a reward. The cat feeder and puzzle toy provides three levels and seven sections that can be adjusted as needed to provide an adequate level of difficulty for a pet.

Indoor cats are prone to inactivity, over-eating, eating too quickly and having an excess of pent-up energy but this [two-in-one cat toy and feeder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teendow-xlym) has the potential to provide [mental stimulation and exercise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luvmyfido), as well as [slow down the treat-eating process](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slow-feeders) through a healthy form of play.

The boredom-busting cat toy is made with durable, double-layer cardboard and a glossy, plant-based outer coating.
