SnugglyCat Ripple Rug Cat Activity Play Mat

Our boys love it, especially Crazy Louie. We’ve actually nicknamed it Crazy Louie’s Ambush Cave because he loves to jump out through the larger holes and surprise his brothers, or just shoot a lightning quick paw out of one of the smaller holes to tag them on the way by. The other two like to lay on top of it, or play with toys that are inside it through the openings. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that you’re supposed to be able to fold it over and have the Velcro stick to the inside to stiffen an “entrance” archway, but it barely sticks to the inside, and that lasts about until the cats look at it. Arrived very quickly - Earlier than promised. Will definitely keep shopping Our boys love it, especially Crazy Louie.

I really looked forward to getting this play rug. The cats loved it at first. It was a bit challenging to get it to make a cave shape that would stay up for more than a few mins, but I figured the cats could just burrow into it and play. That worked for a while, but they would get bored unless they could see into it like a cave or tunnel. Unfortunately a naughty cat decided to pee on it while it was flat, and now it is trash. I tried cleaning it, but the smell won't leave. I will stick with old blankets for them to play in.

I have 3 cats with all different personalities and they love this toy. You don't necessarily need to prop up the center. I stopped trying because they started to sleep on it too. I now vacuum the bottom, randomly throw their toys on it, and put the top over it and it mostly lays flat. Except where the bumps are from the toys. They feel the bumps and start digging out the toys. Its hysterical. And they still reach or put their heads into the holes. They have so much fun and then use it as a bed when they are all tired out. I also don't have to worry when I hear their claws grabbing because its on the mat and not my rug. Excellent toy

I gave this as a gift to a friend when she adopted her cat a few years ago. She had told me how much her kitty loved it. After putting it in my "cart" at chewy & leaving it there for a xmas present this year for my little girl, I finally ordered it. Well. I couldn't wait till xmas . She absolutely Loves this mat. If you have 1 cat or multiples , I guarantee you it will be used all the time. It took my Phoebe a day to figure it out, but afterwards, her head is in and out of the wholes & my dog chases her into it and she hides. Also, a great place to interact with other toys, such as balls & wires. The picture shown is exactly how they play. You may think it pricey, but well worth it.

Cat freakin' loves this rug. Immediately took to it out of the box. Loves crawling into it and batting at things through the holes. The top layer completely detaches and fixes itself to the bottom layer, in case this isn't obvious from the photos. The obvious benefit here is that it's a very flexible and mysterious toy for the kitten. The less-obvious problem is that it can be hard to keep the rug structured in such a way that invites crawling into it. I'm not sure how such a thing could be fixed though. He loves jumping into the top layer as much as he loves crawling under it. I can't imagine putting any stiff parts in or around this toy to ensure it props up better.

My babies LOVE this!!!!! I just got it today and they are sooooo addicted! My tabby's just laying on it, as I'm typing this....lol (Directions say to vacuum the top and the bottom initially to remove any loose fibers. I did so and normally the tabby is scared of the vacuum, but this time he sat there waiting for me to finished....lol)

My cat didn’t take to this at first. After I got the top part arranged, my cat came over, sniffed it, and gave me her thumbs down look. I took the top part off and put some of her toys on it, and now she loves hanging out on it. I may try the top part again after she is used to the base. I gave it four stars only because she didn’t care for the top part.

We recently brought home two kittens and were a little nervous about introducing them to the rest of the clowder. The cat breeder highly recommended this rug and after seeing her cats and kittens playing with one, we knew we had to get one! We put toys under the rug and everyone gets along and plays for hours! Best money spent!!!

Cats loved it the first day but when they climbed on top it collapsed and the second, inner set of velcro attached and kept it down. Kitties are no longer interested. I’m going to buy something me Velcro to attach to the inner Velcro and hope that helps. For the price you would think they would include the Velcro blockers for an extra penny in cost.

We have four cats and mostly hard floors. One cat in particular was very timid about bouncing around on the floors with no grip - she loved the Ripple Rug immediately. We haven't quite figured out the best way to make tunnels for them with the top rug, but they manage to find ways to burrow in there. They all liked the first one so much we bought two more!
