Product Information

Full details

The LickiMat Classic Felix is an enrichment tool designed for cat owners looking to improve their pet's mental stimulation and digestive health through slow-feeding practices. By mimicking natural predatory behaviors, the mat reduces whisker stress and anxiety while encouraging a more satisfying, long-lasting mealtime. While it is an excellent tool for behavioral enrichment, it requires hand-washing and consistent supervision during the initial introduction to ensure your cat does not chew the material.

FAQs

Is the LickiMat dishwasher safe?

No, the LickiMat Classic Felix should be hand washed to ensure the material remains intact and clean.

Can I put the LickiMat in the freezer?

Yes, the mat is freezer safe, making it perfect for freezing treats to keep your cat occupied for longer.

Will this help with my cat's whisker stress?

Yes, the flat, low-profile design ensures your cat's whiskers do not touch the sides of a bowl, effectively preventing whisker fatigue.

What materials is the mat made from?

It is made from food-grade, non-toxic, and durable Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR).

Can I use dry kibble with this?

While it works best with spreadable or wet food, you can use dry kibble if you rehydrate it with a little water or broth to help it stick to the ridges.

Is it suitable for kittens?

Yes, it is safe for all ages, provided you supervise your kitten to ensure they do not chew on the rubber.

Troubleshooting

My cat ignores the mat and prefers their bowl.

Try using a more high-value, aromatic treat like a meat puree or cat-safe yogurt to encourage the initial interest.

The mat is difficult to clean.

Soak the mat in warm soapy water for 10 minutes to soften stuck-on food, then use a soft bristled brush to scrub the crevices.

My cat is trying to chew the mat.

Immediately remove the mat and supervise more closely next time; this indicates they are more interested in the material than the food.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your LickiMat, simply place it on a flat, non-slip surface in a quiet area where your cat feels safe. For the first few uses, supervise your cat to ensure they are licking the food rather than attempting to chew the rubber.

Compatibility: This mat is compatible with almost all types of pet-approved soft foods, ranging from purees and spreads to wet kibble mixes.

Care Instructions: To maintain the longevity of your LickiMat, hand-wash it using warm soapy water and a soft brush to get into the crevices of the fishscale texture. Ensure the mat is completely dry before your next use. The material is freezer and microwave safe, allowing for advanced meal preparation and temperature-controlled feeding.
