Why use a lick mat for your cat?
Many cats tend to eat their wet food too quickly, which can lead to vomiting or digestive issues. The Lickimat Casper forces your cat to eat at a slower pace by spreading the food across the fine grooves of the mat. The repetitive licking action also stimulates saliva production, aiding digestion and helping to keep teeth and gums clean.
Mental stimulation and stress relief
Beyond slowing down meals, the Lickimat Casper serves as a calming tool. Licking releases soothing hormones in a cat's brain. This makes it an excellent distraction during stressful events like thunderstorms, vet visits, or simply to combat boredom when they are home alone.
Usage and maintenance
This mat is designed for wet food, pastes, or liquid treats. Simply spread the food evenly across the textured surface. Keep in mind that this classic rubber version is not dishwasher safe and should be hand-washed with a brush to ensure all food particles are removed from the small crevices.
