Ricky Mat Casper Green: A feeding mat that stimulates your cat's instincts

Want to make your cat's mealtimes more fulfilling and healthy? The Ricky Mat Casper Green is an innovative feeding mat designed with a focus on cats' natural predatory behavior. This product, with its unique fish-shaped design and intricate groove pattern, was developed in collaboration with veterinarians by Ricky Mat, a pioneering pet enrichment brand from Australia.

Health-promoting effects

The Ricky Mat Casper Green is more than just a food bowl; it supports your cat's health in multiple ways. By encouraging licking, it increases saliva production, which helps protect teeth and gums. Enzymes such as amylase in cat saliva not only aid digestion, but also help prevent bad breath by removing food particles and bacteria from the mouth.

It also reduces the "whisker stress" that many cats experience. With regular dishes, cats' whiskers can touch the edge of the bowl, which can cause stress, but with the Ricky Mat, cats can enjoy eating in a natural position, which is why it is recommended by veterinarians around the world.

Stress reduction and mental stimulation

Licking your cat's favourite food helps release endorphins, which have a relaxing effect. Ricky Mat makes the most of this natural behaviour to support your cat's mental wellbeing, especially during stressful situations such as when you're away from home, vet visits, injections or recovering from an injury.

The Licky Mat can also help calm cats in situations where they are likely to feel anxious, such as during thunderstorms or fireworks. The act of licking food from the intricately patterned grooves provides moderate stimulation to the cat's brain. This intellectual stimulation is especially important for indoor cats, and it also helps prevent destructive behavior due to boredom.

Safe and easy to use design

The Ricky Mat Casper Green is made with cat health and safety in mind. It's made of non-toxic, food-grade TPR material, so it's safe for cats to lick. It measures 22 x 15 cm, and is designed to fit an average cat's feeding size.

It's also microwave-safe and freeze-safe, giving you the flexibility to offer hot or cold meals and treats to suit the season and your cat's preferences. It's easy to clean by hand, ensuring hygienic use for a long time.

A variety of ingredients and uses

Rickymat Casper Green is a great complement to all types of cat food, including wet, dry, raw, and liquid foods. It's especially great when adding healthy treats like yogurt, purees, spreads, and sardines. It's also a convenient way to mix nutritional supplements and medications.

The unique surface pattern of the Licky Mat is designed to allow your cat to take the appropriate amount of time to lick up the food. This naturally slows down the pace of eating, helping to prevent indigestion and bloating caused by eating too quickly. It is especially effective for cats who eat too quickly or who vomit after eating.

In the summer, you can place some moisture-rich food on the mat and freeze it to use as a cool snack that your cat can lick over time. This method helps cats who tend to feel lethargic in the heat to stay hydrated and cool at the same time.

Use in special occasions

The Licky Mat is a great ally in situations where cats are prone to stress, such as before a visit to the vet, a fireworks display, or during changes in their environment like moving. By offering your stressed cat their favorite food on the Licky Mat, you can expect it to have an effect of easing their anxiety.

Furthermore, turning everyday mealtimes into a richer experience and providing a dining environment that respects cats' natural habits is a wonderful opportunity to deepen the bond between owners and their beloved cats. Providing an experience that is similar to foraging behavior in the natural world contributes to maintaining the mental health of indoor cats in particular.

The Ricky Mat Casper Green is more than just a dish; it transforms your cat's eating experience. By understanding your cat's instincts and encouraging their natural behavior, it supports their overall physical and mental health.

Why not try incorporating it into your daily mealtimes to make them more enjoyable and meaningful, and let it become a partner that will further enrich your life with your beloved cat?
