Catit Digger or Food Tree: which format should you consider?

Both games let cats retrieve food with their paws, but their layouts differ. Jess has not tested them. This guide focuses on their format and things to check, without promising that your cat will use them.

Digger: cups accessed from above

The Digger organizes food searching around cups in two sizes and a removable base. Consider the base’s width, access to the cups and how easily they can be removed for cleaning. This format lets you identify separate places to put suitable kibble or treats.

Food Tree: a tiered structure

The Food Tree has openings in a transparent tiered structure, with a collection tray at the bottom. Check the space around the game so your cat can approach it, and storage space when it is not in use.

Start simply and observe

Introduce the game in a quiet place, following its instructions. Make the first attempts easy and observe whether your cat is interested. There is no need to add more accessories if this format does not appeal to your cat. No effects on behaviour or eating speed are guaranteed.

Consider cleaning before buying

Compare the parts to disassemble, places where food can remain and cleaning instructions. Also check permitted kibble or treat sizes. A product photo alone cannot confirm these details.

Before ordering

  • I’ve measured the space where the game will go.
  • I’ve checked the instructions for suitable food.
  • The disassembly and cleaning process works for me.
  • I can observe the first attempts without assuming my cat will like it.

Consider the Digger if the cup design suits you; consider the Food Tree if you prefer a tiered layout. Format, maintenance and your cat’s observed interest matter more than a promise of results.
