How It Works
Three steps to a
calmer, happier cat.
Lick mats tap into your cat's natural instinct to lick and forage triggering calm and focus every single time.
1
Step one
Place the lick mat flat
Place the lick mat on a flat surface like the floor or a counter, or stick it to the wall using the suction cup for a standing challenge.
The suction backing keeps it in place so it does not slide around while your cat works it.
2
Step two
Spread food into the grooves
Use a spoon to spread your cat's wet food, pate, or treat paste into all the grooves and ridges. The deeper you spread it the longer it lasts.
Works with any wet food or puree. Even a thin layer keeps most cats busy for 10 or more minutes.
3
Step three
Watch them settle in
Your cat licks, focuses, and naturally calms down. The repetitive licking triggers endorphins acting as a built in stress relief mechanism.
Most cats lick for 10 to 20 minutes then curl up and sleep. That is the endorphin response.
Why licking makes cats genuinely calmer
Licking is not just eating. It is a deeply hardwired self soothing behaviour. The rhythmic motion releases endorphins and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, the same state that triggers rest and calm. It is enrichment and therapy in one.
Mental stimulation
Foraging engages instincts that indoor cats rarely get to use
Anxiety relief
Repetitive licking naturally reduces stress and anxious behaviour
Slower eating
Reduces gorging, vomiting, and digestive discomfort after meals
Made from food grade silicone which is non toxic, non porous, and dishwasher safe after every use.

Cat behaviour insight
What if your cat isn't sick...
they're just eating too fast?
Cats inhale meals in 6 to 30 seconds without chewing. The stomach overfills before the brain registers fullness, the food comes back up barely digested, and the cycle repeats every meal. It isn't a health problem. It is a speed problem with a simple fix.

Most owners see post-meal vomiting stop within the first week of switching.
Cats inhale meals in seconds, then bring them straight back up onto the carpet.
Ends the 4am begging
Stretches mealtime so the brain has time to register fullness — your cat actually feels satisfied.
A 6 second meal gives the brain zero chance to catch up. The screaming starts again by morning.

Frequently asked
What You Need To Know
Will this actually stop my cat from vomiting after meals?
+
- Yes. Most cat owners see post-meal vomiting stop within the first week of switching.
- Cats vomit because they inhale food in 6 to 30 seconds without chewing. The slow feeder physically prevents that.
- Eating speed is reduced by up to 60%, which gives the brain enough time to register fullness before the stomach overfills.
- Use the slow feeder for every meal, every day. The change is consistent rather than gradual.
Will it stop my cat begging and waking me up at 4am?
+
- For most cats, yes. The constant begging usually means they never feel full, not that they need more food.
- The brain takes about 15 minutes to register a meal. A 6 second meal gives it zero chance to catch up.
- By stretching mealtime to 8 plus minutes, your cat actually feels satisfied between feeds.
- Pair the slow feeder with a frozen lick mat at known begging times for the strongest effect.
Which cats benefit most from this bundle?
+
- Cats that vomit, gag, or regurgitate after eating, especially in the morning.
- Cats that scarf food in seconds and immediately beg for more.
- Overweight cats and cats on a portion-controlled diet who finish too fast.
- Indoor cats that need calm enrichment between meals.
- Multi-cat homes where one cat eats too quickly and steals from the other.
Is the silicone safe for my cat?
+
- Yes — to baby-bottle standards. 100% food grade silicone, BPA free, phthalate free, lead free.
- Pet bowls are completely unregulated. Plastic bowls can leach chemicals and harbour bacteria in scratches.
- Silicone is non-porous, so bacteria can't hide in the surface like they do in plastic or scratched ceramic.
- Freezer to dishwasher safe. No warping, no leaching, built to last years.
- Designed for licking and slow feeding. Supervise cats that chew rather than lick.
What can I put on the lick mats?
+
- Wet cat food spread thinly into the grooves works for almost every cat.
- Plain Greek yoghurt or pumpkin puree (cat-safe, no sweeteners) for variety.
- Soaked dry food blended with a splash of water or low-sodium broth.
- Pro Tip: Freeze the icecream lick mat for 2 to 4 hours. Hot days, teething kittens, and 4am screamers all calm down for ages.
- Avoid onion, garlic, grapes, raisins, and anything with xylitol — same rules as cat food.
Still on the fence? Try the Cat Bundle for 30 days. If your cat doesn't love it, send it back for a full refund. No questions, no hoops, no return shipping.

Our Mission
A Letter From Louis & Ebony
At WackyWags Doggy Daycare, we see over 15 different dogs every single day. We know the difference between a dog that is simply "tired" and a dog that is truly settled.
We started MindFeeder because we couldn't find enrichment tools that stood up to professional daily use while providing actual relief for dogs struggling with anxiety, boredom, or the "witching hour" zoomies.
Every bundle we offer is the result of years spent perfecting a routine that works. We don't just sell these feeders; we rely on them to keep our pack calm and focused. When you buy a bundle, you're getting the exact tools we trust our reputation with every day.
