LICKIMAT Casper, Fish-Shaped Cat Slow Feeders for Feline Boredom and Anxiety Reduction; Perfect for Food, Treats and Anxiety Reduction, Turquoise

I love it! And so does my kitten! She always eats really fast so I had to find ways to slow her down without getting her annoyed or irritated because I physically stop her. I was sceptical at first but it turns out these licky matts are really a pretty decent product! It is softer than another one we have, which is for dry and wet food together. At first I thought this mat will be only suitable for wet food, but I found it good also for her dry kibbles as they are very small size. It is made of silicone or soft rubber (I am not sure, but it is very soft) so it is comforting for the cat to chew or lick it when trying to get the food in her mouth. It is very, very easy to clean even with only water! The most important thing is that it really slows down my cat's feeding so it does really has the desired effect. I love this product and can definitely recommend it!

Only day 2 of use and already I've noticed a difference in the speed my cat eats and how more overall satisfied and content she seems. Great idea!

Got it in purple, looks super cute. Cat loves it, i put his new Feliway happy snack yoghurt on it at bedtime so that + licking makes cats calmer (we have behavioural spray issues!). Anyway day 3 and no spraying… yay! Knocked a star off as it’s quite annoying to clean, water sprays everywhere so you have to kind of bend it in the nooks and crannies. Best way is to submerge it in sink and then run hot tap over the bits.

Kitty loves it, takes her 15 minutes to finish. Much longer than the usual 2 minutes of inhaling her dinner. Keeps her mind occupied while getting a treat.

Handy to slow my kitten down a bit. She can’t seem to get all the dried food out though. I don’t use them now though as they’re not dishwasher safe so not very handy.

The Lickimat has been a great success. Our cat really enjoys eating from it.

My cat Minnie was so amusing at first with this, she seemed suspicious & crept around it for a few minutes then was absolutely fine eating her meat off it. It seems to slow her gutsy eating down a bit, I’m hoping the more she uses it the slower her eating habits will become. I really like these mats can reduce stress & release endorphins. Super easy to wash & dry. I don’t love the colour choices, I’d prefer a bigger choice of colours but that’s not a big deal. Highly recommend.

I love this, it's a great idea for greedy pets. My dog-owning friend recommended it, and I'd never heard of Lickimats before. Our cat is completely obsessed with food and gulps down everything far too quickly - so the Casper mat is really useful for feeding him wet treats as it really slows him down. I read that licking is soothing for cats, and stimulates happy hormones, so anything that forces him to slow down his eating must be a good thing! For comparison, we timed him eating a tube of his favourite Lick E Lix treat; when served on a little dish as we previously would do, he wolfed it down in less than 60 seconds, but when served in the Lickimat for the first time he took 15 MINUTES to get every last morsel. Result! You'd need to press the wet food right into the grooves and ridges on the mat to get the most benefit; we use a little plastic knife, or you could use a wooden ice lolly stick. *WORD OF WARNING* As mentioned by a few other reviews, if your pet is exceptionally greedy / obsessed with food, you'll need to supervise them using the Lickimat. No doubt caused by the frustration of knowing there's a tiny bit of food stuck in a crevice that their tongue just can't quite reach, I can see why cats would bite and chew the mat! The material is soft and flexible so it's easy to gnaw on - see my last two photos, only a few seconds with my back turned and our hungry boy had already started to nibble the mat 🙄 I'd recommend this, for only a fiver it's worth the money, easy to clean and a nice size so it won't look too unsightly on your kitchen floor - but definitely don't leave it there too long otherwise bored cats will undoubtedly try and eat it!

I absolutely love these lick mats. I got them for my first cat as a kitten for when he got neutered. Knowing he wouldn't be able to lick himself for a week but he could still get the sense of it with a treat or food and a lick mat. I then started using the mats with my new kitten who eats faster that my cat. I love that they are easy to use and easy to clean. In the summer, I'll mix a churu with some water, pour it into the lick mat and freeze it so my cats have a cool treat on a hot day. I highly recommend especially for indoor cat owners!

Mon chat aime beaucoup quand je lui mets sa pâtée sur ce tapis de léchage. Il prend tout son temps pour manger. Attention : ne fonctionne pas bien avec les pâtées avec morceaux (je prends d'autre pâtées pour ce tapis). Seul bémol qui fait que je ne mets pas 5 étoiles : lavage à la main obligatoire. Je conseille de laisser tremper directement après usage pour ne pas avoir de difficultés à retirer la pâtée qui reste dans les coins.

The design of this food mat is great. This slowed down my faster eater well, which stops her from stealing her sister's food. Easy to clean. I recommend using gravy wet food instead of jelly as it's easier to spread on the mat.

Love that this mat makes my cat slow down its eating. She only gets kibble 1 X per day - the other two meals are wet food. I do not smash it all down into the crevices, but leave some of it just flush with the mat. She does not bother to lick into the little grooves, so we usually have wet food left in the crevices of the mat and when it dries it's not easy to clean out. The indentations are pretty small making it difficult to pry out dried food- so we leave it soaking in the sink. If you do this watch out! It will splatter the water like crazy if the faucet runs on it, spreading water all over the sink and more! Aside from that, this is a good solution and I'd buy it again. This mat is very useful for those with cats that don't chew their food and then get indigestion.

Lovely design, my cat loves eating from it and helps him to pace himself.
