SnugglyCat Ripple Rug Cat Activity Play Mat

My cat’s favorite toy is usually the packing paper that comes in the chewy box, but having “garbage” all over the house was driving my boyfriend crazy. While this seemed like a good alternative, I was hesitant because of the size and price. I wish I’d bought it sooner! She absolutely loves it, spends all day on it, and now instead of running to the “treat drawer” to beg for treats she runs to her rug to beg for playing. Worth every penny! It seems pretty durable so far (it’s been a few weeks) but if this bites the dust I will absolutely buy another. I do wish it was a little smaller, but overall a great toy.

There is nothing wrong with the quality of this play mat. But, neither of my cats (with very different personalities) cared about it at all. They weren't interesting in sitting on it or exploring or anything. I tried different configurations, putting treats and toys and catnip inside the "caves" that I built with the mat. They were just kind of bored with it. It's not particularly soft and they don't even want to scratch the material. I think this is the first thing I ever brought into my house that they didn't want to at least sit on for the first day. Very disappointed. But, cannot complain about quality or anything like that.

My cats were excited when this came. I set it up, hid the toys, and supported some openings. It was to be a shared toy for both cats together as they do have their own separate play areas too. This is big enough that I thought it would work. I played with them and showed them how to play with it together. It didn’t last 3 days before one cat used it as a litter box. I had to throw it away. I know I can wash it. But once she thinks it is a litter box, she will go again. I didn’t like how big it was. I think it is too stiff and large for the washing machine to deeply get out pee stains. I think it is too large in general. I was unhappy that I couldn’t pick it up at night and store it. My cats also My cats were excited when this came.

I admit I was skeptical. Two rugs with Velcro? Really?I have a bunch of foster kittens, maybe they will like it. Everyone loves it! My dog loves it! The oldest at crawls in the tunnel de jour and pops her head to survey her kingdom. The littles run, hide, jump, pop in and out of holes all day. The infant kittens, lay on it to get love and enjoy the others popping in and out around them. Some one is on, or in the rug all day. Treats, toys, and animals play hide and seek. Easy to clean. Which is a blessing since the dog has taken to sleeping and snacking on it with the rest of the gang.

I had my doubts, I admit - but thought I’d try the Ripple Rug. Lo and behold my two 4 year old cats (they’re brothers) cannot get enough of it!!! They LOVE it!!! We hide their toys in the holes and tunnels and they will work until they get every single one. Then we rearrange the top (that’s the best part - the Velcro let’s you place the top anywhere!) and there’s a whole new set of tunnels and hiding spots! I can’t even believe how much both of my cats love this!!!! Whoever invented it is GENIUS!!!!

I was a little skeptical about this product. It’s a couple of pieces of carpet right? Boy- have I been pleasantly surprised! It’s very lightweight for one, and it’s also a smooth surface but still has texture. Perfect for cats that love to stretch and push out those claws. It’s also not as stiff as I anticipated which is an added bonus! As an impulse purchase for my foster kittens; this is a win. It’s great for them play with each other. Or even alone! It’s very easy to rearrange the position of the tunnels and holes. I’ve been throwing their favorite toys in various spots for them and they go nuts! So it’s great for busying boredom but also making sure your cat is being enriched in all senses I was a little skeptical about this product. It’s a couple of pieces of carpet right?

Have cats that get bored easily. This truly allows them to connect to their prey instincts. We leave small cat toys hidden underneath that they can look for and also use this activity mat to interact with them with strings and ribbons. They even play with each other by hiding and crouching! Lots of laughs for the humans and satisfying for the felines! Easily folds away too.

I had debated purchasing this but I have two kittens that LOVE hiding under blankets. So I tried this out. If the top portion with the holes was more stiff this would be amazing. But it SO easily goes flat or doesn’t pop up. Kittens are trying to play with it just disappointed that it takes such an effort to make it stay open for the kittens to get in it. They however like scratching at it and sleeping on it just very hard for them to get in and have it stay up.

Admittedly, I thought this would be a waste as my two cats didn't seem to care for (or understand) it, apart from hiding inside the holes sometimes. Then I got another cat, and she is absolutely obsessed with this thing. She LOVES throwing all their toys inside of it and wrestling with it; it's covered in tufts of her fluff, and she plays with it nonstop. I guess there isn't a way to tell if your cat will go crazy for it like she did, but when it's their thing, they LOVE IT.

I eyed this for a while because I wasn't sure if my cat would be into it. I've rolled up my carpet a couple of times and seemed to like that, so I finally bought this. Day 2 and she's already sleeping in it and playing with a feather wand through the holes. She went into it immediately without prompting. The velcro holds pretty well and there's directions on how to make it stand up better. I like that i can change it around to make new ripples. Overall, pretty great!
