Doc & Phoebe Indoor Hunting Feeder for Cats

Satisfy Your Cat’s Wild Instincts

Did you know that a cat’s stomach is only the size of a ping-pong ball? In the wild, cats spend nearly 80% of their time hunting for food. Now, you can bring that natural behavior into your home with the Doc & Phoebe Indoor Hunting Feeder.

Designed to mimic the way cats hunt, this unique feeder helps curb common problems like scarfing, night-waking, and anxiety while promoting healthier eating habits. Instead of relying on a traditional bowl, this system allows your cat to “hunt” for their food in small, manageable portions.

Benefits of Doc & Phoebe Indoor Hunting Feeder for Cats

• Veterinarian-Designed System: Developed by experts to tackle common feline issues like scarfing and vomiting ("scarf and barf"), litter box troubles, and restless behavior during the night.
• Promotes Natural Hunting: The feeder encourages cats to use their instincts to track, paw, and “hunt” their food, which can help reduce anxiety and boredom.
• Healthier Portions: With three mice-shaped feeders, your cat will enjoy small portions of food throughout the day instead of gorging from a large bowl at once, which can help with weight management.
• Durable & Safe: Made from BPA-free plastic, the feeders are dishwasher-safe, while the textured fabric skins are machine washable, ensuring cleanliness and safety for your cat.
• Reduces Night Waking: By hiding food-filled mice at night, you can reduce those 3 AM wake-up calls, as your cat stays engaged in “hunting” for its meal instead of waking you for food.

How to Use Doc & Phoebe Indoor Hunting Feeder

1. Fill the Feeders: Add dry food or treats to each feeder using the provided scoop.
2. Hide the Feeders: Place the feeders around the house, twice a day (morning and evening) to mimic hunting sessions.
3. Encourage Exploration: Allow your cat to use its sense of smell to locate and “hunt” down the feeders. This fulfills your cat’s instinctive behaviors while providing necessary exercise.

Ingredients and Materials

• Feeder Skins: Made of durable synthetic fabric and microfiber, which is machine washable.
• Feeder & Scoop: BPA-free plastic for safe, non-toxic use with food. Dishwasher safe (top rack).

Common Side Effects

While the feeder is designed for ease and health benefits, be mindful of your cat's adjustment period. Cats may initially show hesitation to interact with the feeders, but with time and patience, most cats adjust. If you notice any changes in behavior or health, consult your veterinarian.

Precautions

• Not a Toy for Children or Other Pets: Keep out of reach of dogs and children.
• Check for Wear: Remove any feeder if it becomes damaged or loose to avoid choking hazards.

How long does it take for cats to adjust to the feeder?

Most cats adapt to the feeder within a few days to a week. For shy or hesitant cats, allowing them privacy during feeding times and gradually transitioning from a bowl helps.

Will using this feeder reduce my cat's anxiety?

Yes, satisfying your cat’s hunting instinct helps reduce anxiety, especially in indoor cats. The hunting exercise provides both mental and physical stimulation, resulting in a calmer cat.

Can the feeders help with feline obesity?

Yes, the feeder supports weight management by distributing smaller portions of food throughout the day, encouraging cats to eat slowly and burn energy while hunting.

Can I hide the feeders anywhere in the house?

Yes, the feeders can be hidden anywhere safe and accessible for your cat, as long as it is away from dogs or children. Cats will use their strong sense of smell to find the feeders.

How often should I clean the feeders?

The feeders should be cleaned regularly—ideally, the BPA-free plastic parts can be placed in the dishwasher’s top rack, while the fabric skins can be machine washed weekly.

Is the feeder safe for older cats or cats with mobility issues?

Yes, but for cats with limited mobility, it’s recommended to hide the feeders in easily accessible areas to prevent discomfort while hunting.

How does the feeder affect litter box behavior?

By providing natural hunting activities, the feeder can reduce stress-related litter box issues. Cats are more relaxed and less likely to have accidents outside the box.

What should I do if my cat doesn’t interact with the feeders?

If your cat shows no interest initially, try using their favorite treats or isolating them with the feeder for a short period. Most cats will begin to engage after a few attempts.
