So far Stella has been suspicious of this you and won’t go inside. She’s 9 years old and it’s possible she’s never played in a toy like this. It compresses with sewn in ties, takes up very little space.

Ok toy; wrong color; very small.

My cat gets excited and uses it when I throw toys down it, so it's getting some use, which is good even if I have to be there to get her to use it. My only complaint

My cat gets excited and uses it when I throw toys down it, so it's getting some use, which is good even if I have to be there to get her to use it. My only complaint is that I purchased a red/tan color, but received an ugly teal/greenish color. Also, this tunnel is very small. Don't buy for overweight or large-frame cats.

Cat Loves This Tunnel

Cat loves playing in this tunnel. I've ordered more than one over the years. Made well. Just kitty claws wear it out. Would purchase again

Very nice tunnel at a good price!

My feline fur kids love play tunnels. I have one that has a battery and lights, but that’s really not necessary. This one is more economical and makes just as much

My feline fur kids love play tunnels. I have one that has a battery and lights, but that’s really not necessary. This one is more economical and makes just as much noise when they run through it. I don’t think my cats were overly impressed with the flashing lights on my other one anyway. And it was getting worn out, so I thought it was time for another one. They love it!

Good size

It’s smaller than the tunnel I had years ago that was cumbersome. This one is sized just right, crinkles nicely, and the opening in the center is great for surprise

Cute tunnel cats like it

My cats spend half their day running into this tunnel and rolling it around the house, they really seem to like it. The tunnel that we got is a teal color instead

My cats spend half their day running into this tunnel and rolling it around the house, they really seem to like it. The tunnel that we got is a teal color instead of the red listed but that’s okay it’s cute and the cats enjoy it.

A surprise for my semi-feral cats

I feed and care for numerous cats at an old abandoned house. This tunnel is quite a hit. I placed it on the porch; they love it, and are really giving it a work-out

I feed and care for numerous cats at an old abandoned house. This tunnel is quite a hit. I placed it on the porch; they love it, and are really giving it a work-out. It seems to be holding up pretty good, and we've now had it a couple of weeks. Good quality.

blue tunnel a new favorite

my older cat liked our previous tunnel, and this one exceeds quality and entertainment for the cats by all measures. I was disappointed to receive a different color

my older cat liked our previous tunnel, and this one exceeds quality and entertainment for the cats by all measures. I was disappointed to receive a different color than I ordered, but this one ended up being the first tunnel my other cat uses on a regular basis!

Cat likes to hide

If your cat likes to hide when they play, and jump out and pounce on their toys- this is seriously the perfect thing to buy for them. I noticed my cat would hide

If your cat likes to hide when they play, and jump out and pounce on their toys- this is seriously the perfect thing to buy for them. I noticed my cat would hide under the couch or around a corner and pounce on the string toys so now this tunnel serves as her hiding space. It’s smaller in diameter than I expected but my cat (7.5 lbs, 1 year old) fits very well through it. Not sure how well it would fit a larger cat.
