Bold of you to presume that cats need to use a board for that, rather than possessing that ability innately.:-)

Cats are wonderful. However they're also stubborn. If you want a cat to not bug you for something, never give in. One you do, you lose. They'll outlast you.

If our cat wanted food she just left our bedroom, where she slept, walked through the cat flap and went to hunt mice for herself. How do we know that? Because we regularly woke up to gallbladders of mice laying either at our bed, at the front door or the lower back door.
