How does the maze toy keep a cat busy?
A light bell ball sits inside the carved channels and round openings of the wood board. Your cat reaches a paw in to bat it, and the ball rolls from hole to hole with a soft rattle. The ball never fully comes out, so your cat keeps reaching, chasing and swatting to move it along, the way a hunt works.
What is the board made of?
The base is one piece of solid pine wood, sanded smooth with the natural grain showing. The channels and round openings are carved straight into the board and lined with a dark textured surface, and the whole thing has raised edges so it feels solid and sits flat on the floor.
Can my cat scratch on it as well as play?
Yes. The lined grooves and the cut openings give claws a surface to hook into, grip and stretch on. Many cats will swat the ball and then work their claws on the channel edges in the same session, so it doubles as a spot to stretch the paws while they play.
Does it slide around on the floor?
The board is one solid piece of wood with a flat base and a bit of weight to it, so it stays put when your cat leans in and swipes. It sits steady on hardwood, tile and low rugs, and the raised edges keep the ball moving inside the board rather than bouncing off.
Is it safe, with small parts a cat could swallow?
The maze itself is carved into one solid board, so there is nothing on it to come loose. The only loose piece is the rolling bell ball, which is far too big to swallow and stays inside the channels as your cat plays. Keep an eye on play as you would with any toy.
Will it suit a kitten and an older cat?
It suits most ages because your cat sets the pace. A lively kitten can chase the ball fast through the openings, while a calmer adult can nudge it slowly between naps. The openings come in several sizes, so a paw of any size can reach in and move the ball.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the wood with a dry or barely damp cloth and let it air before play. Lift the ball out now and then to wipe under it and clear any fur from the channels, then drop it back into a groove. Because it is wood, avoid soaking it or leaving it wet.
Will it look out of place in my living room?
The board is natural pine with a calm wood grain, so it looks tidy enough to leave out on the floor rather than hide away. Many owners keep it by the sofa or in the main room, where the cat can return to nudge the ball through the maze whenever the mood strikes.
