SnugglyCat Ripple Rug Cat Activity Play Mat

Perfect For Play, Exercise, Hunting, Scratching, Learning, and Resting This is the first day we've used the Ripple Rug and I sense that it's different than the other tunnels and fancy interactive toys that we've tried-- which my 9-month-old Maya gets bored of easily (except the robotic bug and mouse, she's all about them). It's so simple but so useful! Very smart design. Maya loves the scratchy material. When not playing, she has been just sitting on it. She also loves diving into the holes to find things and leaping from the couch to do so! It's so fun to see her hunting, trying to figure out where whatever I tossed/rolled in is, and then figuring out how to retrieve it.

It's so fun to see her hunting, trying to figure out where whatever I tossed/rolled in is, and then figuring out how to retrieve it. Maya is super fond of chasing balls around too, which the Ripple Rug allows her to do in a more controlled (less rolling under the couch) way. I don't think boredom will be a problem with this because there are countless configurations and so many ways to use it. Keeping the top part up can be a tad annoying but I think it will get easier when I get a feel for the most sturdy ways to position it. Maya's actually been calling for me to keep playing when I walk away from it. It is absolutely adorable to see her little face peek through the holes. Or to see a paw burst out of one of the smaller holes when I tease her with something. Watching her dive in and explode out of them is fun too. I genuinely enjoy this rug myself. Plus it gives me some basketball practice by throwing toys and treats into all the holes. I also love that the Ripple Rug is made from recycled water bottles and is easy to clean. It seems super durable as well. I will update if anything changes :) I'm really happy with this so far if you couldn't tell. … more

I've had my ripple rug for about four months now. I have a tubby 20 lb cat that loves bouncey balls and wand toys. He loves the paw sized holes in this rug and finds it fascinating to see things moving under it. The expandable holes are large enough for him to get through and under if he wants though he rarely does go inside. Ready to clean and maintain. My only gripe is that the top rug is not stiff enough and the Velcro on the back allow for limited configurations. I spent over an hour ironing it, which is the method the instructions recommend as the stiffening factor but it still stays pretty floppy.

I love this toy because it unlocks a new mode of play - hide and seek! And you don't have to spend ages cutting holes in cardboard boxes and then have to throw them out when friends visit, so as to hide the level of cat obsession (ahem). My kitten doesn't use it as a scratching post or bed, but she loves playing in and out of this rug. As other reviewers have pointed out, the top rug is indeed very floppy. I found it very difficult to create and maintain structures such as the one pictured in the listing. My solution was to drape it over the lowest shelf of the cat tree. You still have the hide and seek element and it actually stays up.

I have four cats, ranging from 7 to 20 lbs, and 10 mos to 14 yrs. We are a military family, moving frequently. I bought this hoping it would be an all-in-one solution... an enrichment/play/scratcher that would pack easily. Two were interested before I even got it out of the packaging (the others followed later). It has prompted my tubby boy to be more active, my grumpy bugger to be more social, and the kitten is, of course, over the moon. I'm extremely pleased with this purchase!

This set of two rugs with holes cut in it didnt look like much, but my cat loved it right away. He is a medium-large ragdoll at about 18 solid lbs. and the cat crinkle tunnels are just too small for him, so I make tunnels and add toys in the folds. He sleep uses this toy as one of his command centers and loves playing on it so much that he has waken me up at 3AM to play with him there. PROS: durable, multiple uses, customizable, ethically sourced safe, cat approved. CONS: Oils cause it to soften and no longer work as well for tunnels, cleaning must be by hand and air-drying something this large can be unwieldy in a rainy environment.

I thought this would be a great way for my kittens to play, but they would only play for a couple minutes before the top carpet collapsed and they couldn’t get in the holes anymore. They lost interest after the first day because they couldn’t do anything with it, not matter which setup I tried. It eventually became the carpet they preferred to vomit on and it’s been sitting in my yard since because I got sick of cleaning it.

I put off purchasing this item because for me, it was a bit expensive. But it is worth every penny, and then some!! I have had so much fun playing with my Gracie as she and I discovered many different things to do with this fun and well constructed mat!! When she is hiding under it, and suddenly pops out of a hole to scare me, I laugh until my sides hurt!!! And She Loves making me laugh!! Best toy ever!!

I was hoping they would enjoy playing on the Ripple Rug and I'm not disappointed. My younger (3 yrs) cat loves shooting out of the holes and my older kitty enjoys burrowing in the rug. This is the first time I've purchased a toy that they both use at the same time and play together. Happy kitties!

They were into this the moment I put it on the floor. They can entertain themselves or it can be interactive. We drop a catnip mouse into one of the holes and the game is on! Usually I can't get them interested in most of the cat toys I buy them. This one is impressive!

Loved the concept--my one cat is obsessed with the rugs in my bathroom and I am constantly fixing them after she balls them up so i thought this would be a great substitute. I set it up as shown in the photo which was super easy and sprinkled some cat nip on it. My cats checked it out and laid on it the first day but after that they could care less--it does take up a good bit of room too. Love the idea, love the quality my cats just were not into it.
