Snuffle Mat For Cats

Zita lays on this all the time. She loves it.

Adopted an older cat who has had some shyness and territorial distress issues. The snuffle mat has been a good activity for her, as she has to do some work to get the treats. It doesn't take her super long, but it gives her something to do and enriches the space for her. We're going to try placing it in other rooms soon to see if she will get out and explore more.

Iron Man and Captain America, adopted from our town cat and dog rescue, have made the Snuffle Mat their favorite snack spot. They hug it, roll on it and pull it around the house. They are 8 month old very strong Siamese brothers.!
I’ve learned so much from your YouTube videos even though I have had cats most of my life! But I’ve really enjoyed communicating and playing with these boys! Thank you, Jackson, for creating cat brain stimulation toys and teaching us to be the best cat-loving parents . Keep creating!! Doris

it took her some time to be interested in it but she seems to have fun sniffing around for treats. even more exciting, she used it during play time with the wand too! She’ll crouch down into it to get ready to pounce, and she’s ended up rough housing with it during play today. She seems interested in bringing her ‘pray’ once she’s caught it to the mat to roll around in. It’s not what I expected her to use it for but it’s so cute to see her play with it like that too!

It didnt take them long to find all the hidden pieces of food & one loves sleeping on it

Tugboat (our domestic cat) has his food / water mat in our bedroom while Clarice (our feral cat) has her food / water mat in her room. We figured that each cat needed their own snuffle mats for their instinct play, even though they freely check each other's room out. Each morning, at breakfast, 5 treats are hidden in each snuffle mat, followed by catnip and silvervine sprinkled on top of each one. We've noticed that Tugboat and Clarice check out the mats throughout the day. The following day, during clean up and breakfast, both snuffle mats are shaken outside under the bird feeder. Bits of catnip shake out-- NEVER any treats. The Snuffle Mat is a fantastic way to engage the cats' instinct of discovery; keeping our cats from getting bored. They machine wash and dry--slick as snot on a door knob. Thank you Jackson for this grand and helpful idea. (My sister, who lives in MA and has a 1/2 feral Maine Coon Tabby cat was sent a Snuffle Mat and enjoys sleeping on it when she isn't on her cat tree watching the neighborhood activity. Thank you Jackson for helping us love our cats by communicating with them in a feline way.

My 15 y/o, Pepper, is not big on play, but loves to use her brain; especially when treats are involved. She's pretty smart and has a few different types of puzzle toys, but I wanted to get some more variety in her rotation. I was a little worried the rug wouldn't be worth the price, but I was wrong. Great quality and Pepper loves it. It's become her favorite and she will sit by it when she wants to snuffle.

My cat Ellie is a crazy little teenage cat who always needs to be entertained! No amount of play, distraction, or food can curb her desire to constantly walk across my desk while I’m working, climb my shelves despite my best efforts of catification, and overall just be a teenage menace. She was a little skeptical of the Snuffle Mat at first (and even refused the freeze-dried treats I bought - she’s a picky one) but eventually warmed up to the mat as soon as I sprinkled some of her supplemental dry food across it. She now sits happily, snuffling away at her little bits of food whenever I toss some on the mat - it at least buys me 5-10 minutes of peace! To top it off, she loves to “loaf” on the mat after her snuffling is done, giving it a dual purpose. Thanks Jackson!

My cats love the snuffle mat and go
Crazy for the cat nip, i have not seen them this excited over new toys and cat nip ever!! And of course the box it came in!! I love the Jackson Galaxy brand of treats, cat nip, toys and home products

Both cats instantly went searching for their freeze dried treats. They shared the snuffle mat and were so engaged and focus on foraging until the last piece was found. Other snuffle mats didn’t engage them the same way. They will be “working” for their treats from now on. Highly recommend.

I use this after our night time play session to give him a small amount of freeze dried food. It helps slow him down from gobbling, and he loves to forage so much, he purrs the entire time. He's a very active and too smart siamese mix, so any extra enrichment helps.

I have to try and be subversive when stashing treats in the mat. My two kittens know the second I near it that they'll get treats. They spend a good 10 mins searching, and seem quite proud when they find a morsel.

I bought this because of the Maui Humane Society promo, I probably wouldn't have bought it without that. And I would have regrets if I didn't buy it. It's a great addition to the kitten clutter our house has become.

Our cat is quite fickle in accepting toys. How satisfying, then, that she not only took to the snuffle mat immediately, but she has also adopted it as her favorite kicker toy! Best purchase in at least a year.

I did not intend to purchase a snuffle mat until I heard that proceeds would go to help the poor cats in Maui, so I ordered one and it arrived today. I hid some treats in there and my two little girls went completely nuts and had so much fun snaffling about, looking for anything they could have missed. I will need to buy another one for my other two kitties to share. This is a big hit and usually my kitties turn up their noses at new things I buy for them but not Snuffle Mat.

My cat loved it. My Biggie is a very nervous cat when I adopted him. He was a biter and was very treat oriented. The mat keeps him occupied and then he started playing with all the other toys I bought. I’m so pleased with gift.

My senior cat LOVES her snuffle mat
Just to hang out on it

I’m always looking for things to entertain my wild orange tabby male. He snuffles for treats almost every day! Love to give him this stimulation. He wasn’t interested in it at first but that was because he didn’t love the treats I used. Make sure you use treats you know they are obsessed with! Sometimes my cats sleep on it haha. So it’s multi use! Love this product, highly recommend.

Omg! They watched me fill the mat with the treats it came with...(they loved them, too).. & then went NUTS trying to get all the treats out. Kept them busy for a while. My one big treat lover was either worn out or, maybe, a little hopeful for more treats... because he dragged the mat to a quiet spot & took a nap on it. Lol! ❤️😺

I have a 4 yr old wallflower and a 10 month old bully. The bully steals all toys and playtime from my poor wallflower Chatran, who resorts to staring sadly and goes to food for comfort. I was afraid Chatran would ignore the snuffle mat as he does with everything else, but he took to it right away and enjoys "searching" for treats. Not a lot of exercise as the mat is pretty small, but at least he gets some distraction and hopefully satisfies his "hunter" impulses. I am happy with this purchase!

It was a hit for 2 of my 4 cats and I liked that they had to work a little bit and use their hunting skills to find the treats. Thank you Jackson! Katie Cats Sims

My girls love this! When I ask them if they want a treat, they run to the snuffle mat!

This is my sweet baby Grover, who was living behind a dumpster when I found him. He's a pampered boy now who enjoys his mat for napping as well as foraging for treats! It's pretty adorable to see the cats snuffling around, rooting out treats like truffle pigs. I love that it's washable. Fun for them, and a win for me!

tried this shuffle mat in hopes to get my 9 year old cat to improve her hunting skills..(.she is the type that sleeps all day)

she will get the food on top , but will not sniff deep to find it when it's buried.

I think she needs to be trained more about thus concept
