SnugglyCat Ripple Rug Cat Activity Play Mat

My 2 boys are the first cats that I haven't declawed and it has been a STRUGGLE. I have a cat tower and they love it, but only one of them actually scratches on it. They also run around the house like crazy cats, and scratch up my hardwood. Now, this doesn't really help a ton with the scratching, but it DOES help keep my cats entertained. They will not go in it together at the same time, but one goes in and hides (while peeking out the holes) and the other is on the outside, either minding his business, or trying to sabotage the other, and then the hiding one will fire out from one of the many holes in this, and the chase is on.

They scratch on it, they sleep on it, they LOVE the cave-like formations it makes, and the fact that it can be reconfigured in different ways means it is like a brand new toy every time I move the top part. Great purchase!!! … more

My cat is so weird about towers and scratchers. He will hardly ever use them. But man… does he LOVE this mat. It’s the best thing since sliced bread. I would happily buy him more of these. I think the quality holds up too. Little man runs through the holes and scratches this thing all day. Two months later it looks fine and he still wants to play with it!! He also much prefers when I fold the edges on either side to make it stand as a tunnel so he has a tent.

At 1 am, while my cat Garbanzo was running around meowing, I found myself googling “cat enrichment toys.” I came across this toy and hit purchase, and I’m so glad I did! Both Garbanzo and Basil love this— they sleep on it, play on it, and are always hanging out on it. Garbanzo in particular is difficult to please— he gets bored with toys easily and will also give up and back away when Basil gets involved during playtime. But with this mat, we’ve caught Garbanzo hiding toys under it and going crazy trying to get them! He seems more playful since we bought this and has been sleeping peacefully at night now. Bonus- it easily folds up when you want to put it away!

My girl Mittens was obsessed with rugs/mats. She would paw at and peel back the corner of our living room rug, dive under her carpet square to hide, and wrestle with the door mat. We thought she was just a goofball with this of thing but it feels good to know she is in good company with other cats, haha! Mittens required zero enticing to interact with this and loved it right away. She especially loves "hunting" in and out of the holes for crinkly and jingley toys. It's such a great outlet for her extra energy and general enrichment. We don't leave it out 24/7 so it's a high-reward play experience and she doesn't get bored of it.

I rely on reviews but have never written one. But this is such an awesome "toy", I had to! Our kitty didn't ever play by herself until we got this. It is fun for her on her own, and really fun to play with her with it. She loves to leap on it, hide in it, and jump through the holes. I was worried it might smell at first, but this company not only uses recycled materials, but intentionally doesn't use toxic glues, etc. It was fun right from the start. My friend had the same experience with her cat too.....don't wait!

Ren is incredibly particular but I needed something to help him entertain himself. Got this on a whim and he loves it! I leave it on my bedroom floor for him to play with before bed and in the mornings before I’m up. Sometimes we use the laser pointer in the holes and he just goes WILD! Often times I will just find him “loafed up” hanging in it.

Started out pretty fun, but quickly became too soft & fell flat when kitties tried to play with it. I followed the directions to stiffen it, but still floppy. I put toys underneath, treats, etc. I would have to rearrange it every 10 minutes to get them to play with it, and I can't even create good tunnels with it anyway. They do love to nap on top of it, though, which is very cute. I wanted to love this so bad, it was so promising. I know others have had better luck, but not us!

They LOVE it. They adopted it immediately and use it for scratching as well as playing. They somehow know it's "their" area. (How do cats immediately seem to know when something's for them, even when it's still in the Chewy box?) It can be a little tricky to make the caves and crawl spaces per the instructions, but I've done my best and it works great. It's especially terrific when I toss any other toy there, whether that wire toy with the bits of cardboard on the end (name escapes me!), a catnip thing, or just a crumpled paper ball, because their pouncing ends up putting it into a little hole, and they go crazy. It's also very cute to see their heads or paws peeking out of the holes.

My cats immediately loved it, so of course my dog also had to take a turn. I placed it right under their favorite window, and it’s their favorite spot now! It took them a little while to futre out the holes, but now they love it. It’s taking a good beating, but is holding up well. Also, I’ve noticed they scratch furniture a lot less now that they have this mat :)

The top layer of mine does not hold its shape. No matter how I rearrange the top layer it falls flat. Its more the feeling of a blanket then a carpet. I vacuumed it like I read and it was a no go. If the top layer held its shape more and was stronger where the cats could see to go under then it would have been a hit.
