Which puzzle toys keep an Oriental Shorthair from opening drawers for entertainment?

I use weighted puzzle feeders that require pawing to release treats, like the Trixie activity board, paired with a drawer lock on the furniture itself. My Oriental Shorthair quickly mastered standard puzzles, so I combine a hidden treat ball under a weighted box to redirect their cleverness.

I’ve found that puzzle toys requiring complex, multi-step actions work best. My Oriental Shorthair loves the Nina Ottosson Dog Twister-despite being for dogs, the sliding compartments and rotating lids challenge her enough that she stops obsessing over drawers. Pair it with a clear plastic drawer lock from a hardware store, and the combination of mental stimulation and physical barrier solves the problem.

My own Oriental Shorthair, Mochi, only stops trying to open drawers when I give her a puzzle that mimics that exact motion. I found a treat-dispensing cube with sliding panels she has to push sideways with her paw, which satisfies her need to slide things open. I also scatter her kibble inside a cardboard box with small holes cut into the sides, so she has to paw and nudge it around like a drawer.
