Description
BeschreibungDescription
Bislang wird Katzennahrung nicht in Objekten angeboten, die den Spiel-und Jagdinstinkt der Katzen in besonderer Art und Weise ansprechen.So far, cat food has not been offered in items that specifically appeal to cats’ play and hunting instincts.
Durch den „Spielball", der aus zwei Halbschalen zusammengefugt ist und in dem sich Katzennahrung befindet (insbesondere in fester Form) wird der natürliche Spieltrieb der Tiere besonders angesprochen.The "play ball", which is made from two half shells and contains cat food (especially in solid form), particularly appeals to the animals' natural instinct to play.
Die variabel gestaltete Oberfläche der Halbschalen läßt mehrer Spielvarianten zu.The variable surface design of the half shells allows for several different playing options.
Halbschalen aus nicht zum Verzehr geeignetem Material sind mit einer griffigen Oberfläche (vorzugsweise ein filz- oder wollähnhches Material) versehen, das den Katzenkrallen beim Spiel den nötigen Halt bzw. Widerstand bietet. Als Belohnung wäre der „Spielball" dann vom Tierhalter zu öffnen, so daß die Katze das Futter erhält.Half-shells made of non-edible material have a non-slip surface (preferably a felt or wool-like material) that provides the necessary grip or resistance for the cat's claws when playing. As a reward, the pet owner should then open the "play ball" so that the cat can get the food.
Halbschalen aus zum Verzehr geeignetem Material sind mit unterschiedlicher Oberflächengestaltung (Ausnehmungen oder Erhebungen) versehen, die auch hier den nötigen spielerischen Halt geben.Half-shells made of material suitable for consumption are provided with different surface designs (recesses or elevations), which also provide the necessary playful grip.
Die für den tierschen Verzehr unbedenkliche Umhüllung könnte z.B. aus Stärke mit Geschmacksstoffen versehen - bestehen. Das Tier gelangt so selbst an seine Belohnung.The coating, which is safe for animal consumption, could consist of starch with added flavorings. This way the animal can get its reward itself.
Eine Kombination aus beiden Spielballvarianten „nicht - verzehrbar" mit Ausnehmungen oder Erhebungen auf den Halbschalen ist ebenfalls möglich.A combination of both game ball variants "non-edible" with recesses or elevations on the half shells is also possible.
