Is there any way to make the fabric stiff again?

Answer by ChewyJul 21, 2024
To stiffen the fabric, you can use a few methods, keeping in mind that you want to maintain the toy's safety and functionality for your cat. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you: Fabric Stiffener Commercial Fabric Stiffener: Purchase a fabric stiffener designed for felt or similar materials. Follow the instructions on the product for application and drying times. Heat Setting Ironing: After applying the stiffener or solution and allowing it to dry, you can use an iron on a low setting to further set the stiffness. Place a cloth between the iron and the felt to avoid direct heat contact. Precautions Safety First: Ensure any solution used is completely dry and non-toxic to pets before allowing your cat to play with the toy. Test First: Test the stiffening solution on a small area of the felt to ensure it doesn’t cause damage or affect the toy’s function.

Not the same cheese as before

I've purchased the original The Cheese tunnel at least twice before in 2025, and my cats have loved both tunnels so much that they needed a replacement. My last purchase of The Cheese in December of 2025 was an inferior version of the tunnels I purchased earlier this year - they're much smaller and the diameter when put together is much narrower too. I used to recommend The Cheese to everyone who had cats, but now it's only big enough for kittens to use, at the same price, so I can no longer recommend these tunnels until they go back to the original Cheese we all loved!

Second order very disappointing compared to original

My cat loved the first one I bought, beat it up so much I felt I needed to replace it. It was out of stock but I assumed that when it came back in stock and I reordered,

My cat loved the first one I bought, beat it up so much I felt I needed to replace it. It was out of stock but I assumed that when it came back in stock and I reordered, it would be the same item. Unfortunately, the one I just got is only 2' long compared to the original 3', the material is half as thick as the original, the holes along the sides are smaller, and the interior diameter is also smaller. The snaps feel like they're stronger though, for whatever that's worth (not much to me; in fact I think my cat enjoyed being able to push through the tube and unsnap it into different shapes).

Small size

I bought the original version of the tunnel, and my cats loved it. I was excited to see it was back in stock to buy more, but when the package arrived I was so disappointed

I bought the original version of the tunnel, and my cats loved it. I was excited to see it was back in stock to buy more, but when the package arrived I was so disappointed to see how much smaller the tunnels are. This tunnel is sized for kittens or rabbits, but not full grown cats. Very disappointed in this version of the product.

Doesn’t Stay Attached

Was so excited to get this for my kitty, but the buttons aren’t what’s pictured. They’re like button snaps on pants pockets, and they don’t actually stay together

Was so excited to get this for my kitty, but the buttons aren’t what’s pictured. They’re like button snaps on pants pockets, and they don’t actually stay together at all. I will find another way to use them, but we were greatly disappointed.

The "cheesiest" fun for cats!

One of my 2 cats LOVES this toy and likes to crawl in and jump out at us as we walk by- and for the price it's worth it! The only down falls are with heavy use ot

One of my 2 cats LOVES this toy and likes to crawl in and jump out at us as we walk by- and for the price it's worth it! The only down falls are with heavy use ot stretches a bit and snaps don't stay closed as well and overuse causes the massive pilling you see in picture. But overall if you have a hide n seek sort of cat they will LOVE this toy.

Cat loves it, snaps are not durable.

My cat absolutely loves these tunnels, yes I got him more than one, however, the snaps they use are not durable. I've had two break apart since I bought it 2 months

My cat absolutely loves these tunnels, yes I got him more than one, however, the snaps they use are not durable. I've had two break apart since I bought it 2 months ago. I haven't been able to fix them because I think they are too small for the material they are holding, but I've replaced with bigger snaps so it's still usable. If you want it to last, I'd buy other snaps or fasteners for when they all eventually break.

Dachshund’s dream toy

My dachshund LOVES this thing. The only issue I have is that it got pilly very early on and that the snaps don’t stay shut with my dogs crazy antics. I ended up

My dachshund LOVES this thing. The only issue I have is that it got pilly very early on and that the snaps don’t stay shut with my dogs crazy antics. I ended up sewing the closure points with a quick stitch so he could roll around in there as he pleases

size way small

This was way smaller than the tunnel I purchased last year. My cats were too big and not even interested in such a tiny thing

Perfect cat toy

My cat Dwayne is obsessed with this tunnel. It’s his new favorite place to hide, hunt, sleep, etc. Bring out a wand toy while he’s in there and he goes absolutely crazy. He also scratches it, bites it, jumps on top of it, pounces out of it, and constantly unsnaps it. So I just snap it together again and once again it’s open season! It’s held up really well, my cats destroy everything and while it’s already taken a serious beating, it maintains its structure. This is truly the best cat toy I’ve ever gotten.

The only toy with staying power

I’ve had various cat tunnels that my cat used for awhile. She *loves* the Swiss cheese tunnel, and is delighted when we trail toys over the holes - she reaches out

I’ve had various cat tunnels that my cat used for awhile. She *loves* the Swiss cheese tunnel, and is delighted when we trail toys over the holes - she reaches out with her paws and tries to grab them. So cute. The only down side is that it gets really furry.
