The lick mat is sticky to the touch and washing it doesn't seem to get rid of the stickiness. Is this normal?

Yes! I came here to figure out what that is. It leaves a waxy-sticky film on my fingers that doesn't come off of the mat even with several good soak/scrubs. I have a hard time believing that would be good for my cat's sandpaper tongue to go over and then ingest.

Does this work with dry food?

Hi There. Yes. It works with wet, dry, raw and liquid foods and treats. You can use Casper or Felix (and other LickiMats) with dry food. You need to match the kibble size and the surface structure of the mat (smaller is better). Cats will use their tongue to lick and extract the food from the deeper pockets of a Casper and simply pick up the food from the other sections. LickiMats will help slow down their feeding and provide them with enrichment. If you have a kitten, start with a Felix as it is easier for them. Casper is best for adult cats. Smash a sardine on the Felix or spread a gel treat for more licking fun.

Will this slow my cat down from eating so much? She eats so fast shes gaining weight as fast as she eats, then throws up her food..

Yes, I think this mat might help. You need to make sure to spread the wet cat food across the whole mat. Not too thin (too difficult for kitty to eat) or too thick (too easy to eat). You’ll have to experiment and see how she does. Also, check the patterns of each mat — some have smaller surface designs (harder). Hope this helps.

Is there a better way to clean it? I use a kitchen sponge, but can't get the corners of the scales so there's a yellow residue left after drying

I put them on my middle rack in the dishwasher. I've had them for several months now and clean them in the dishwasher daily, they haven't broken so far. They always get 100% clean after that.
