SmartyKat Happy Hammock Adjustable Cat Rest & Hideaway with Feather Toy - Gray, One Size

I bought one of these YEARS ago and despite heavy use by my cat Petunia ("Tuna") and light use by my other two cats, it still looks brand new. I would rate that one five stars. So I decided to buy two more to elongate their three-way tunnel. Boy, these look horrible. The attached photo shows the OLD tunnel in the middle and the two brand NEW tunnels on the left and the right. As you can see, they are horribly, permanently wrinkled. They actually make less crinkling sound than the old one. I don't know if these got exposed to high temperatures at some point in transport from the the manufacturer to me, or if they are just poor knock-offs of the original using inferior material and/or a weak spring. In any case, Tuna only went through one of these a couple times. (She's a big, 15 pound girl and these new tunnels appear narrower due to the walls not being stretched taunt.) Now she will only use the old one and the three-way tunnel. I will probably give these to my sister and hope that her younger, smaller cats will enjoy them.

Recently purchased a holiday pop up tent for my cats and they started fighting over it. I self-loathe having to have two holiday pop up tents out year around. I elected for this one instead and Flint started using it within a minute of setting it down. Didn't use instructions, assembly took about 2 minutes, if that.

I bought this because the weekend before - at PetSmart - I'd bought a MUCH smaller version than this crackle tunnel, and I was so impressed with my cats' playfulness of that tiny tunnel, I wanted a BIGGUN!We have 5 MALE CATS (all neutered, but they don't know that), indoor only, fat, happy, and PLAYFUL during that 2 hours or so they are not passed out on the nearest blanket. When these boys play... they PLAY. Divebombing each other, cornering, sneaking around corners doing that huddle-butt-pounce thing... so I knew getting a bigger tunnel would fit the bill, since they'd already put many fine hours into the small tunnel from PetSmart (that one was only about 10 inches long; this one is almost three FEET long!).For anyone concerned about the SIZE of your cat? Do not be concerned. Our largest boycat is Hammie - he is 25 pounds, and round in every feature; dude is a blob with paws. He gets into this thing and while he does rub the sides a tad, he DIGS it! No problems getting in and out. The smaller cats (ranging in size from 12 pounds to 20 pounds, then there's 'Hammie'), ZERO problems, they race through this thing, dive bomb it, dive bomb each other... and the opening in the middle, at the top of the tunnel - somehow this tunnel rights itself, so that 'peephole' opening stays at the top! Even while dive-bombing is in process.We were both sorta stunned to see our 16 year old cat, Zorro, ALSO get into this tunnel. While he does not and never did ever 'play' (he's like Grumpy Cat on Valium, with a mean streak), he actually got in there, purred, and stayed there for awhile... he liked something!?!?!?!It's easy to set up - just untie the strings and stretch it out, voila. It's NOT meant for a bedroom; keep it in a room where there's noise, cuz it's noisy. The crackle sound does what cats like best - makes them feel like they are doing a whole hella damage to something (like the cats in the paper bags, this is like one giant paper bag for them). The fact they can do the huddle-butt-pounce to each other (one cat inside, one in the peephole, one on the outside readying his attack) is SO MUCH FUN to watch, in a multiple cat household. Even a single-cat household, this would keep the lonely feller occupied for hours!I sprinkled catnip inside of it, just for fun, and also put a couple of their catnip toys inside. But they didn't need the nip; the tunnel is just dandy on it's own.A great deal for the price, well built (if this tunnel can stand up to 5 male cats, who have their claws and like to chew on things), it'll stand up to at least an F1 hurricane.A note: I saw some state the tie-strings were a problem for them (the cats chewed on them, etc.). If you don't need the tie-strings - if you won't be collapsing it for storage - cut them off. Really you can collapse the tunnel and put it into a shopping bag for storage, it's that easy. I didn't cut the strings off, I just tied them into pretty triple bows! =D

I have a 10 year old, 15lb cat who is obsessed with diving through small passages. When she was a younger, slimmer, beast she could manage with empty boxes left over from fridge-packs of soda. Now a bit more rotund but no less lacking for attention needs and stimulation, we looked elsewhere.We had previously purchased a tunnel toy from a big-box retailer and realized when we got home that it was not the type to stay open on its own. She would get, at best, one or two good dives in before the whole thing collapsed in a sometimes hilarious mess. Given that she loved it, we kept it, and that was that. It was after seeing this type in a recent Youtube video that I thought I would take another crack at it.Suffice to say, she loves it. I've attached a photo to this review taken roughly 90 seconds after unpacking the toy. Not a moment was wasted.It stays open all the time without need for human intervention and if I had to guess, that's how she likes it. Combined with a laser pointer, catnip toy, or even the occasional unsuspecting target passing by the opposite entrance, she dives right in and through. Once she's in, the crinkle material is all she needs to stay entertained.It seems to be sturdy, and stays open and upright on its own. It has ties on one end for collapsing it back down flat should you ever need to, but as a bonus these seem to double as point of attack for the cat. Often enough she'll just dive through and start attacking the straps!One thing I will note is that I would have preferred some color options - what we got works well enough but it's worth mentioning.If your cat is one to like diving into tunnels, it's a bit hard to beat this one for the price.

Pros: it’s very cute! For a crinkle play toy is not hideous and an eyesore.Cons: it’s small, very small. I don’t think even a small adult cat would be able to enjoy it. It’s my fault for not looking up the dimensions, but still. I don’t have huge cats, but even my smallest is too big. It’s not super well put together, it isn’t weighted and collapses on itself, and it doesn’t feel like it would withstand and kitty wrestling matches.Overall: if you have kittens or really tiny cats or other small animals, I’d buy it. Normal sized cats, just skip. Might be a great cheap alternative for a Barbie tent!

Immediately I opened this and put it on the floor my cat was interested. Cats love crinkly things and there are very few such interactive toys that do crinkle other than the tunnels a well known pet store sells. Lots of interesting feather things at the corners, well, interesting for cats anyway. This was a very reasonable price too.I don't often bother to do reviews but why shouldn't lots of other cats enjoy this perfect toy too. (And no, I'm not related to the seller in any way, just really pleased about this purchase, and so is Leo).

Poor quality item.

My cats love them

My cat loves these bags. I don’t think there was any cat nip. If so she didn’t notice it but she loves getting them.

Exactly as described arrived on time my fur babies loved it!
