SnugglyCat Ripple Rug Cat Activity Play Mat

My cat adores this mat. It is her “home base” right beside my desk, where she lounges, hunts, plays, naps, sharpens her claws, and carries her toys over to. She doesn’t like to climb through the holes much (I cut all the slits longer to make the holes bigger after she panicked once thinking she was stuck), but she will slink through & lounge in tunnels I make for her, and crush them down into a bed by morning. It’s given her a definitive space to claim as her own and provides constant entertainment & utility.

When I first saw this as I was scrolling through the toys I thought it was the dumbest thing I had ever seen. A rug with some holes seemed hardly like a cat product that any thought had gone into. But our youngest cat likes to lay/hide under the packing paper that comes in the Chewy boxes so I thought since the price wasn't too bad, it was environmentally friendly, could be stored, and was washable then I didn't have much to lose in trying to find a permanent fixture replacement for the sheets of paper all over our house. Unfortunately the youngest still prefers the paper but our newest adoptee took to this instantly and ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT. She hides in it, sleeps in it, scratches her claws, When I first saw this as I was scrolling through the toys I thought it was the dumbest thing I had ever seen.

She hides in it, sleeps in it, scratches her claws, throws it around to play with it, peeks at us through the holes, and loves when we play with her by poking her toys through the openings. It is true that it doesn't always stay up very well but since our cat usually lays on top of it for a nap and squishes it down anyway then it isn't the end of the world. Most of the other cats will lay on it when it is flattened too. And I love that they have safety slits on the holes because there have been many times she has used them instead of the open sides to enter or exit. Seeing her little cat arms flail out of the smallest holes is an entertainment that will have me glad I made this purchase forever. … more

I bought the Ripple Rug just over a year ago now, and it is by far the best thing I have ever purchased for my cat Simba. Simba is 7 years old and just a sweet playful little guy (10.5 lbs) but also highly anxious too, so he loves a good hiding spot. His favorite game to play is "tag/hide and seek". He often times will get the zoomies to get my attention and then run to his mat and stick half of his body in it, waiting for me to try and catch him. Any movement on the mat and he playfully swats or will jump through the openings and pounce, then run right back around to stick his head back in one of the holes and start all over again.

When he isnt playing with the mat, he sleeps in it and when he is excited he will scratch on it. The mat stays in place on our carpet in our apartment. You can very easily adjust the velcro inside to change the tunnel shapes. I vacuum it regularly without any trouble too. Because of how much Simba loves it, it has a permanent place on our floor, but if you wanted to roll or fold it up to put away you can do so easily. It's just all around a really great, well thought out, multi purpose toy. Your cat will thank you :) … more

I bought this partly on a whim, and more so for use as a scratcher (he's always hated scratching posts- either my couch or the trees outside are all he'll use). so, if all he used this for was to scratch, it would've been worth it. he played with it a bit the first day, and then I was afraid he'd lost interest. but, I tossed 1 of his favorite mice inside ,and, once he noticed, that was it. now, when he's not sleeping on it, when he walks by and thinks he sees something in one of the holes- it's attack time, and he makes sure to get that mouse and throw it out of his plaything. i can use his (old) lure with it also, and he's thrilled. I only wish 2 things- 1, that I had found this when he was I bought this partly on a whim, and more so for use as a scratcher (he's always hated scratching posts- either my couch or the trees outside are all he'll use). so, if all he used this for was to scratch, it would've been worth it. he played with it a bit the first day, and then I was afraid he'd lost interest. but, I tossed 1 of his favorite mice inside ,and, once he noticed, that was it. now, when he's not sleeping on it, when he walks by and thinks he sees something in one of the holes- it's attack time, and he makes sure to get that mouse and throw it out of his plaything. i can use his (old) lure with it also, and he's thrilled. I only wish 2 things- 1, that I had found this when he was a kitten, (if they made it), and 2, that it came with at least one mouse to get it started, (my cat has gone through dozens, no lie, during his 10 years, most during the first 3), so an extra mouse or small, fuzzy toy would have been a nice inclusion, since, it appears, finding a toy mouse that rattles, but DOES NOT have cat nip is not an easy task on this site/app. I'd recommend this for any cat parent who even thinks for a second that their cat might like it. worst case scenario, you can return it within a year. … more

We got this for our kittens and they loved it, 3 years later they still love it. It’s great for hiding toys under the layers and stays put on wood floors. The girls jump all over it, crawl into the tunnels, nap on it, scratch on it and my favorite is when they pounce then drop and rabbit kick the rug trying to get the toys. Most popular toys are the rinsed off soy milk cap seals or milk carton ring seals. Was a little hesitant about spending so much on carpeting but it has lasted and they still use it. Brilliant product!

While my two rambunctious kittens LOVE this product, it is Not well made. On the back of the top rug are a number of Velcro patches that allow the top to be rearranged. These patches are glued to the rug with almost nothing it seems. After rearranging the top rug a few times (4 times at most), four of the Velcro patches have come off and most of the others are loose. For the price, I expected a much better product.

We have had this for over a year. One of our cats is almost always sitting/sleeping/playing on it. It is not super stiff so we have never had any of our cats use it as a fort (maybe too small or not stiff enough so they feel like it will fall on them). However, they absolutely love finding toys in it and even better is chasing a boa wand (like this one - https://www.chewy.com/kong-twisted-boa-teaser-cat-toy-color/dp/119039) as it goes between the two layers and pouncing on it through the various holes.

I have two semi-lazy cats, so am always looking for entertainment. I wasn't sure how they'd like it, but wow. They play on it, and it is their favorite spot to sit and relax together. I am impressed. Note it is pretty big, but luckily for me, fits under the piano nicely. Everyday I rearrange it - not sure the kitties notice, but makes me happy. I kept trying to add a photo, but for some reason (and it wasn't over their size limit), Chewy would not load it.

This has been on my wish list for a while now. I've seen other cat owners that have bought this and their cats love it. Our girl did enjoy it for a couple days, hiding and playing through the smaller holes.. she is two and quite a bit fluffy.. Its also made of plastic bottles, eco friendly, and is supposed to help with shedding.

I ordered this some time back in a desperate attempt to help entertain a cat that is, frankly, too clever for his (or my) own good. I was kicking myself when it arrived because most of the holes were too small for this 16-lb monster. He does not care. He loves it, especially if I take the tiger tail toy and run it through the holes while he is laying on it. Very exciting stuff. And he frequently manages to get himself under the top rug to hide, peering out through the holes and then jumps out at unsuspecting passersby, either through the largest hole or through a tunnel. And all three cats like to sleep on it, snuggled in its "hills." It has gotten almost daily use for over a year now.
