Using this cat toy is easy. First, fill the 12 hidden treat compartments with up to 1/4 cup of your cat's favorite food. You can adjust the difficulty based on your cat's skill level. For beginner cats, place the treats in the cups for easier access. As your cat gets better, put the treats in the hole of the peg piece so they have to slide the peg to reach them. There's a Tips and Tricks guide that comes with the puzzle to help you get the most out of it. When it comes to safety, don't worry about your cat swallowing small parts because there are no removable pieces. Cleaning is a breeze - just wipe it down with a damp cloth. Make sure to keep it in a dry place when not in use to maintain its quality. And always supervise your cat during playtime to ensure they're having a great and safe experience.
