My cats love puzzles but the vet said to lay off the treats. Are there any puzzles that don't use food or treats? Obligatory cat photo
You can also feed them less, and then put that kibble in the treats as part of dinner time. So they'd get half their dinner from the bowl and half from a puzzle toy, or whatever.
This is the answer
Cat nip. It sounds like they want treats and a puzzle just happens to be in between them and sweet sustenance. We have 3 cats and when they get to begging, my god, I'm out numbered and out matched. Our girl is on a diet so snacks are a no-go for now but a little bit of fresh nip and POOF! Now I have distracted cats for a good half hour. Play time has officially begun.
Use small toys instead of treats (mice, springs)
It sounds like they love treats, not puzzle
