The Lickimat slow feeder range is a healthy and fun alternative to a bowl. LickiMats are vet designed and provide a perfect feeding surface for cats.
The different licking surfaces are designed to help with anxiety reduction, entertainment, slow feeding, training and more. LickiMats allow you to spread out cat food or treats on or in the mat surface, encouraging your cat to crouch and feed more naturally.
All surfaces types are suitable for raw, wet, dry and liquid food, as well as treats. The surface patterns differ to better suit different types of foods, treats and liquids:
Buddy: Has a more complex surface and still allows separation of foods and treats.
Soother: The most challenging of the three surfaces, it allows soft and liquid food to be licked out with extra tongue stimulation. It is best suited for soft, runny and liquid foods and treats. It is preferred for liquids such as the juice from BBQ chicken or roasts.
Key Features
Safety Information
If you have a “naughty cat” that will chew anything, please order the Lickimat Tuff™. They are virtually indestructible and also dishwasher safe.
Almost every cat given the choice between LickiMat and a feeding bowl will choose LickiMat.
No cat likes to have its whiskers touch the side of a bowl when feeding.
This causes “whisker stress” in most cats and is the main reason many cats pick their food out of a bowl and place it on the floor before feeding.
Eliminate whisker stress caused by contact with the sides of a traditional feeding bowl and give your cat the all-round vision that they prefer when eating – they don’t like being snuck up on.
No more picking food out of the feeding bowl and putting it on the ground before eating!
The rubber tips of LickiMat gently scrape and stimulate your cat’s tongue whilst feeding or snacking. This increases saliva protection, improves oral hygiene, protects teeth and gums, and most importantly soothes your cat by releasing endorphins.
The pockets of the LickiMat challenge your cat to extract the raw, wet, dry or liquid food or treat as a reward, enriching their feeding experience.
Selecting the right LickiMat for your cat comes down to:
The size of cat does not really matter. We have very large cats as well as kittens using LickiMats.
We will step through all the choices below.
**LickiMat Classic: **They can be used inside the Keeper Range to stop cats moving them, and to convert to a bowl.
LickiMat Classic XL: For very large cats or to use as an alternative to a bowl.
**LickiMat Tuff: **For kittens or heavy chewers, they can be used inside the Keeper Range to stop cats moving them, and to convert to a bowl.
LickiMat Slomo: Combine soft or liquid cat foods and treats on the mat at the same time without creating a mess.
Casper & Felix: The rib and nodule patterns in the Casper and Felix LickiMats create the same experience as picking around the bones of wild caught food.
