Petstages Grass Patch Hunting Box Cat Scratcher Toy

After a week of ignoring it, my cats did decide to play with it once they heard the jingling bells. You could see their hunting instinct kick in - one paw was on one hole, one in the other, and the face in a third - all trying to get that elusive ball. The construction left much to be desired - it feels like I would be able to construct this myself with a cardboard box, fake grass, three balls, and glue. As a bonus, my toddler likes to play with it himself. I guess you can advertise that it's good for all ages (and species). (And, not related to the item itself, but my 5 year old ripped a hole in the box without much force to remove the balls.

I thought this would be great for my cat and it is a good product. But, Pyxl figured this out in about an hour and got all the little balls out... and all over the room. Also, the bottom is very slick, so it moves around on carpet, had to contain it in the box it came in. Might be best for cats with less of a hunting instinct. Mine was bored with it in a day or two.

My cat could hardly wait for me to unwrap this scratcher. She played with it right away for a few minutes, but then walked away. Maybe she was just tired. Hopefully she won't totally lose interest. I'll give it more stars once I give it more time to see if she hasn't completely lost interest.

I thought my youngest kitty, Donnie, would rip out all of the "grass" because he literally eats everything, but he did not do it to this toy. All 3 of my cats play with it, but get bored pretty quickly, so I think I will make it a toy that I put away and bring out periodically to keep them interested.

My kitty loves this toy and lm so glad l got him this he loves the challenge and l put treats in there some times I think this is a cute toy and it has held up so far to the wear and tear it's good to keep a watch on them when playing with this so they don't get the balls out and loose them

My cats haven't used this as a scratcher, but it's a great puzzle toy for the price. I have several heavier duty (and more $$$) puzzle toys but this one is nice to change it up. It's more challenging for the very dexterous cat too because it's lightweight so it moves around. Fill it with treats!

This toy was a hit with my cat! However, it was such a hit she ripped it to shreds quite quickly. She bit thru the cardboard to get those pesky balls and she also had a field day ripping (and eating) the fake grass. So do with this review as you will because it was both fun & annoying as her owner but she loved it. Cat would give it 5 stars, human gives it 4.

Okay for the price, but it is made of cardboard and got a little crumpled, so the balls don’t roll around smoothly... maybe if I hadn’t ordered it with a bunch of canned food, it might’ve gone better.

My cat seemed to be really interested in this at first until I realized all he wanted was to eat the fake grass glued to the top. Then he wouldn’t play with it once I removed the astroturf.

My cat usually loves this type of toy but I think the holes in this one are too small for her big fat paws. I’m going to try to enlarge them
