Cat feeders involve a cat taking food out of something, and then it ends up on the floor or carpet.
I occasionally play-feed my cat just by rolling her food on the floor. She likes that a lot. However, there's a problem of lingering smell that I imagine commercial cat feeders have, as well.
My kitten is acting disoriented when she comes upon a spot she was play-fed at before, for example, a few hours later. She smells around, acts hungry, but there's nothing there anymore. Isn't it frustrating for a cat to smell food but find nothing? If I start using cat feeders, my whole apartment would end up smelling tasty for the kitten eventually, and I imagine that'd cause her some frustration. She'd never know if food aroma means she's found something or not.
What do you think? What's your experience?
