Has anyone had a cat play with this? New kitten, looked like a cute toy..

My son has 1 kitten and 1 cat, and they love to play with it. They play with the squirrels alot. My son puts snacks in the tree trunk and then he puts in the squirrels and then they take them out, they love it. I then bought one for my daughters puppy.

We don't have cats. Toy is kind of heavy and squirrels are a good size. Night be to big/heavy for cat.

The holes are approx 3-4" diameter, so a kitten could actually fit inside. But the squirrels are snug when pulling out of the holes. Its enough tension for a dog but I'm thinking a kitten/cat would not be able to pull them out easily. Kittens would probably love hiding inside the log/tree though. I have the ginormous size but not sure if the other sizes have same opening size in the tree.

Yes, my cat loves it. If I put one of her cat toys in it she will dig around and reach in the holes to get it too.

3 Kittens and they all like the strings, mostly to swat, a couple of them try to chew on them and have torn a string or two. They also bite the edge of the tube from time to time, something that worried me as it is metal I think but they don't do it often and are usually interrupted by another kitten pouncing on them or running through the tube.

It doesn't make any noise by itself. HOWEVER, if you kind of jiggle it quickly it ends up looking and *sounding* like a medium to large insect having trouble flying, as if it's wings are flailing around and hitting things. That got my cats (all three of them--5 month kitten, 3 years old, and 7 years old) going crazy. They loved it even before I did that though.

My cats killed (combo pulling on it/chewing through it) the hanging toy within minutes so it wasn't an issue, but a cat could get it's claw stuck in anything, even a blanket or a loop in the carpet while you are gone. I'd watch while you were home for a prolong period and if it happens or you think it's likely, remove the toy before you leave the next time.

It doesn't make a sound. I thought I had finally found a toy my cats would enjoy -- but no such luck. It seems to be a good toy but my guys are just not into playing.

I have a very small cat who couldn't fit into it... I found it incredibly small for any size cat to fit, except a kitten. I returned it. I wish it was bigger because it was really cute.

The whole little playroom IS made of wood but there is no bottom, which was a bit of a surprise! But I have to say, it doesn't faze the cats one bit. There's always someone inside or on the top grabbing at whoever walks by, including me! It would be fun to be able to purchase a second little red pillow to stick inside. I think the kitties might enjoy that.

I'd like to know the same thing. I had the same experience. My 3 cats loved it, but the "tail" part snapped off after 2 days.

I have 2 kitties and we've had it almost a month. They love this one and a fuzzy one I have. My kitchen chair have a design and I put the handle through it and let it dangle. Always supervised of course. They play for hours. lol. And I always put it away if I'm not home. I'm paranoid of any toys like that.

I just ordered a case - same exact kind as before (which my cats loved). My older cat won't touch this new batch. - My kitten ate some of it and has had the 'runs' for two days. Does anyone know - will Amazon take the unopened cans back?

I have the same issue with one of my cats. Did you buy this and has it worked for you ?

No it does not. Our cats (all three) were not intrigued. They just look at it. One played a little, that's all.

As I said in my review, we hide it away for awhile and our cat's interest is re-renewed. Then again, she's still under a year old. Sometimes she does lazily lay on her side to play with it, hitting the ball alternating between hands and feet. We didn't have this type of toy for our older cat, though she never tired of the "cat dancer" type toys. For those toys, we would need to make play time for her each day. I think those toys add a much needed cardio workout. Our older cat was 19 when she passed. For this reason, we still engage our young cat in play other than the Cheese Chase, letting her practice her stalking and "attack" skills with a small toy/feather/fur piece on a string or a capped wire.

Katydid79 - did you ever get this for your cats? I am desperately looking for the same thing you talk about! Just something to put the cats out in for an hour or so... I just cannot find anything suitable... I would LOVE to know if you ever got this and how was it? Thanks!

My cats have not be able to get through the wire, my only thought is not to leave them alone with the toy? I play with my cats with the toy when I am home and put it up when I can at work! Sorry, but that is all I can think of!
