Product Information
Full details
The TRIXIE Cat Activity Gambling Tower is an ideal enrichment tool for indoor cats who need mental stimulation and a way to slow down their eating habits. By utilizing a multi-level design that requires physical manipulation to reach rewards, this toy encourages natural foraging behaviors and provides a rewarding challenge for bored pets; however, cats with limited mobility or those who become easily frustrated may require consistent guidance during the initial training phase.

FAQs
Is this tower suitable for kittens?
Yes, but they may need more supervision and assistance during the learning phase compared to adult cats.
Can I put wet food in the compartments?
It is not recommended, as the tower is designed for dry kibble or treats; wet food will be difficult to clean and could compromise the sliding mechanism.
How often should I clean the tower?
It is recommended to rinse the ball covers weekly and wipe down the base after every few uses to maintain hygiene.
Will this help with my cat's weight management?
Yes, by slowing down eating and adding a physical component to feeding, it can help prevent overeating and provide necessary activity.
Are the plastic materials safe for my pet?
The tower is made from durable, non-toxic plastic designed specifically for pet enrichment products.
Troubleshooting
Cat refuses to engage with the toy.
Use higher-value treats or freeze-dried snacks that have a stronger scent to attract interest.
The toy slides around while the cat plays.
Ensure the rubber feet are clean and free of dust, and place the tower on a non-slip mat if the floor surface is exceptionally slick.
Cat becomes frustrated and tries to tip the tower over.
Simplify the challenge by leaving drawers slightly open and removing some ball covers until your cat learns the mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: ensure the rubber feet are firmly attached to the base and place the unit on a flat, level surface. The tower is crafted from durable, cat-safe plastic and is compatible with most standard kibble sizes.
For care, wipe down the main body with a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe soap. The ball-shaped covers should be removed and placed in the dishwasher periodically to prevent food residue buildup. Avoid using abrasive sponges on the clear plastic components to prevent scratching, which can harbor bacteria over time.
