Product Overview
The LickiMat Cat Slow Feeder by LICKIMAT is a 6.3 x 8.66 inch silicone mat designed to transform ordinary feeding into a therapeutic experience. Crafted from food‑grade, BPA‑free silicone, the low‑profile surface features raised ribs and ridges that mimic natural hunting motions, encouraging cats to lick rather than gulp. Weighing just 2.82 ounces, the mat is lightweight yet durable, and its non‑stick texture ensures easy cleanup. Model 682376, first available May 29, 2020, it has earned a solid reputation with a 4.4‑star rating from over 3,900 reviewers and ranks #60 in Cat Slow Feeders on Amazon.
Usage
Designed for indoor cats of all ages, the LickiMat fits seamlessly into daily routines. Spread a thin layer of wet food, yogurt, peanut butter, or a favorite puree across the mat and let your cat explore. The textured surface slows consumption, reducing the risk of digestive upset and obesity while providing mental stimulation that curbs boredom‑induced mischief. Ideal for feeding after vet visits, during anxiety‑prone periods, or as a calming ritual before bedtime.

FAQ
Is the LickiMat safe for all types of cat food?
Yes, the mat is made from non‑toxic, BPA‑free silicone and can be used with wet food, yogurt, peanut butter, purees, and other pet‑safe spreads. Avoid extremely hot foods that could warp the silicone.
How often should I clean the mat?
Rinse the mat after each use and place it in the dishwasher on the top rack. For stubborn residue, a gentle brush with warm, soapy water works well.
Can the mat help with my cat’s weight management?
By slowing down eating speed, the mat encourages satiety cues, which can help reduce overall calorie intake and support weight management when paired with a balanced diet.
