Turn mealtime into a natural hunting experience.
HUNTIES™ are soft, wool-crafted interactive cat feeding toys designed to stimulate your cat’s natural hunting instincts while slowing down mealtime. Instead of eating from a bowl, your cat “hunts” for their food just like they would in the wild: Pouncing, chasing, and solving the puzzle to get their reward.
Each HUNTIES™ toy can be filled with your cat’s dry food or treats, encouraging healthy play and preventing fast eating.
Made with natural wool, HUNTIES™ offer a softer, more organic alternative to plastic feeders while still providing the enrichment your cat needs to stay active and mentally stimulated.
Why cats (and their humans) love HUNTIES™
🐾 Natural hunting stimulation – Mimics real prey to activate your cat’s instincts
🐾 Slows down fast eaters – Helps prevent gulping and digestive issues
🐾 Mental enrichment – Keeps indoor cats engaged and entertained
🐾 Soft natural wool – Durable, safe, and more natural than plastic toys
🐾 Turns feeding into play – Encourages exercise and reduces boredom
Hide HUNTIES™ around your home and let your cat stalk, chase, and capture their meal, just like nature intended.

How to use them
Start easy: Each mouse has 2 levels to choose from. Start with the wider hole.
Leave one Huntie on the easy setting with their favorite food inside, fill it generously so your cat wins on the very first try.
Once they've got the idea, you can make it a little harder each time to keep it challenging.
You can switch the insert from easy to hard, and you can even hide the Hunties around the house.
We recommend Feastful's single-ingredient freeze-dried chicken. The tastier the reward, the faster they learn.

YOU'LL ACTUALLY USE IT
The #1 reason feeders end up in a drawer is that they're gross to wash. Not this one. The insert pops out and goes straight into the dishwasher.
TURNS DINNER INTO A HUNT
Your cat bites, bats, and "catches" the mouse to free the food... burning energy and feeding the predator instinct a plain bowl never could.
THE BAIT THEY CAN'T RESIST
Load Hunties with single-ingredient freeze-dried chicken, and even fussy or cats that are not food-motivated lock onto the chase.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why are puzzle feeders good for cats?
Because your cat is a hunter living in a house. In the wild, they'd work for every meal (stalking, pouncing, problem-solving).
A puzzle feeder gives that instinct somewhere to go. It slows down fast eaters, burns mental and physical energy, fights boredom, and cuts the behavior problems that come from an under-stimulated cat.
In short, it turns a 90-second bowl into the best 10-15 minutes of their day.
What's the difference between a puzzle and a feeding toy?
A feeding puzzle is usually stationary. Think sliding tiles, cups, wells, or levers your cat has to paw, nudge, and problem-solve to reach the food. It's a workout for the brain. Because it makes them think, it holds attention longer, and is the better tool for slowing down a fast eater and getting calmer, more focused engagement.
A feeding toy moves. Think balls, mice, or wobblers your cat bats, chases, and tosses around to make food fall out as it rolls. It's a workout for the body. It taps the stalk-pounce-chase predatory sequence, so it's the better tool for a high-energy cat who needs to burn off zoomies.
What is the best toy to stimulate a cat?
The best toy is one that taps their natural drive to hunt, and food-based toys win because they reward the effort with something your cat actually wants.
Feeding toys and slow feeders combine the chase and the payoff, which keeps cats coming back far longer than a feather wand they lose interest in. Our Hunties slow-feeding toy was built for exactly this: a hunt your cat looks forward to, three times a day.
My cat eats too fast. Will a feeding toy help?
This is exactly what slow feeders are built for. By forcing your cat to work the food out piece by piece, a feeding puzzle stretches a 60-second gulp-fest into several calm minutes, which means better digestion and far fewer "scarf and barf" cleanups on the rug.
It's one of the most common reasons people pick up a slow feeder in the first place.
Can a feeding toy help my overweight or indoor cat lose weight?
It helps on two fronts. First, it ends the all-day grazing that quietly packs on the pounds, replacing it with measured meals. Second, it makes your cat move, pawing, chasing, and hunting their food instead of standing over a dish.
Pair a slow feeder with proper portions, and you've built weight management right into mealtime.
Can I use wet food in a feeding toy?
Hunties can handle both dry cat food and freeze-dried chicken like Feastfuls or other treats while rolling. Either way, you can use the toy for full meals, not just snacks. We also recommend it for some wet kibble.
If you feed pate or shapeless wet food, look for a puzzle or a mat with open wells or channels that's easy to wipe down.
How long does it take a cat to learn to use Hunties?
Some cats crack it in minutes; others need a few days. Start with it on easy mode, lure with a favorite treat, and resist the urge to "help" too much. The figuring out is the enrichment.
Once they have mastered the easy level, you can flip the insert to make it harder.
How to clean Hunties?
This is the make-or-break feature. The #1 reason feeders end up abandoned in a drawer is that they're a pain to wash.
Our Hunties silicone insert is dishwasher safe. Just remove it from inside the mouse, toss it inside the dishwasher, and you are good to go.
Regarding the wool mouse, you can wash it by hand using soap and water if needed.
