SnugglyCat Ripple Rug Cat Activity Play Mat

Pros: 1) The top rug can be manipulated to make all different ridges and tunnels. My cat loves to hide behind the "terrain" and ambush. 2) The holes are great for sticking her paws when she tries to get her toys and treats out. 3) The rug material is good for her to get the clawing out of her system, which spares my living room rug. 4) It's machine washable 5) My cat's physical activity has increased by over 100%. 6) She is 13lbs and still fits through the bigger holes. 7) It's practically her docking station now, where she spends the majority of her waking hours instead of sleeping all day in her cat house. Cons: 1) It looks likes a crappy ugly brown rug. 2) 2 velcro pieces already came off Pros: 1) The top rug can be manipulated to make all different ridges and tunnels.

Cons: 1) It looks likes a crappy ugly brown rug. 2) 2 velcro pieces already came off after washing it once, so I took a star off (but I will likely sew them back on). I've read reviews in which people don't like that the rug is floppy and collapses easily. While it's true, I don't think it's a bad thing. I think it's a great play mat for a cat to pounce and roll around all she wants. Overall, the product is a big win. My 12 year old cat loves it. It definitely is a crappy brown rug, but that doesn't take away from the fact it is a very effective product for its intended purpose. I would never take the time to construct a similar product myself, so I would buy this again if I needed to. … more

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 was aware of this item for several months and kept seeing it advertised. I couldn't justify the price tag for an ugly rug when my cat is picky about 'play'. After months of quarantine and her being sad I was back at work I caved in and bought this hoping it'd add some new interest--and it did. This thing is my cat's FAVORITE to play with. She loves to dig her claws in and roll all around it. it's a pain to keep 'setting it back up' after she pounces ontop and knocks it over. But completely worth it for her, and my own entertainment. This is a win!

We've had our Ripple Rug for a few years and occasionally it is still used. Just when I think my 5 cats may be done with it, I find someone has dived in again. Sometimes I will hide toys or treats in it or make it appear that the laser light has disappeared into one of the openings. Since my cats are strictly indoor cats, it's been worth the money to entertain them.

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

Booker is obsessed with this thing. I bought it to replace a yoga mat which he used as a scratch pad for years. He sits on it all day waiting for me to play (ie move a stick between the mats), at which point he goes completely nuts for as long as I'm willing to stick around. He's never been so excited about a toy before.

My kitties do play, lay and scratch on this mat. So I am happy about that and so it is getting used. But the top piece is very difficult to shape and use. I thought it would stand up making tunnels for them to go through but it flops over and will not stand. So I am not sorry I bought it just disappointed I expected more for the cost.

My cats are obsessed with this mat - they play with it, they sleep on it - it's been weeks and they are obsessed. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I find myself readjusting the top part often to create "caves," but that could also be because they sleep on it! *shrugs You won't regret getting this, plus it's made out of recycled material.

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
