Petstages Grass Patch Hunting Box Cat Scratcher Toy

So, let me first say that I've bought this product multiple times; my cat loves this thing, but the problem is that the cardboard construction makes it entirely too easy for him to dig the balls out of the box. I'm writing this now less than 2 hours after receiving the product and I've already had to stuff the balls (those that I could find) back in. It would be a little less annoying if they sold replacement balls, but as far as I can see, they don't. Ultimately, as much as my cat enjoys it, for what they're charging I'd really want more sturdy construction.

My teenage kitties like this toy. One in particular plays with it almost daily. He's managed to get the balls out, but they easily pop back in. They've played with it enough to tear the cutouts in the sides and the paper covering. I fixed that with some white duct tape. It's made of materials that can be damaged with rough play, but it's fixable. I really like the grass on top and the maze structure inside. If this were manufactured with more durable materials I would buy this again. Until then I'll keep this one repaired.

My cat is pretty picky when it comes to toys- she rarely like catnip toys and usually ignores anything that isn't the kitty fishing pole (which she recently has been getting bored of, too). it took her a bit to warm up to this toy, but she loves it! she will spend 15-20 minutes focused on the balls, trying to get them out (with occasional success!) The platform is sturdy enough for her (10 pounds). It's been a week and I haven't found any damage yet!

This is absolutely tiny. I think it would be better for kittens to play with than adult cats. My cat took to it right away but the plastic grass is also coming off and I’m afraid he might eat it so I’m having to supervise while he plays now.

Several of our cats use this toy box so a few times a day we just put the toys back into the box, sprinkle with nip and walk away. We'll come back later to find the toys strewn about again. I guess this is sort of like a little hunt for them. Great cat toy! As you can see, my scratcher toy has a different box base. That's because I accidentally stepped on it and broke the box. Oh well. But I had this 5-6" box lying around so decided to give it a try and... success! It's taller than before but honestly, the cats seem to enjoy it even more. Luckily the top of this scratcher is made very well using many layers of cardboard so it's easy to remove from the original box & place inside another box Several of our cats use this toy box so a few times a day we just put the toys back into the box, sprinkle with nip and walk away.

My kittens love playing with this. It keeps their attention for 5-10 mins at a time. I like that the balls are larger than the hole so they can’t come out/don’t get lost. They also enjoy just sitting on the turf or chewing on the cardboard corners.

Our 5 mo's old cat loves this toy. She has a ton of energy and was constantly tearing through the house back and forth all night long. This toy has proven to be a great distraction and keeps the cat occupied and entertaining without being annoying.

My 2 fur babies love it, keeps them occupied for about 20 minutes. Throw in a few temptation treats and watch them dig!

This toy is awesome! It keeps my kitty entertained. Like most new things it takes my cat a week or so before she really uses them. I know every cat is different but I haven’t had any issue with the grass as I’ve seen others comment on in their reviews. My cat lays on top of the toy and sleeps on it. Thinking of getting another so she has more room lol

We’ve had this in the house all of 30 minutes and two of my three cats really seem to like it! Hooray! My only concern is one of the cats is chewing/pulling on the grass and eating it. This could put a damper on things. It may have to be one of those things that needs supervision which defeats the purpose of having something entertaining them instead of it always being me.
