I was skeptical, because all 3 of my cats do not like using cat beds. All 3 of them love this bed! I bought 2 and am thinking about buying another one.

She loved from the moment it arrived and now we do daily walks she’s 15 years old !
I only got this cat just under 3 months ago and her previous owner said she was not harness trained so this is unbelievable!
She’s 10lbs I bought an Xs it’s perfect 👌

I have 2 elder adult cats and 1 juvenile. I bought 3, 1 for each cat. They all love the baskets and the toy attached. It's the calmest I've seen the youngest and the most active I've seen the older ones in a awhile. They play in the baskets and snooze. The baskets have held up the their scratching too. Very happy with this purchase.

Had to buy a second (and now a third) because our cats were all trying to commandeer the time in the basket. To say they love spending time in these is an understatement!! Better than boxes, better than cat caves, better than anything else we’ve ever tried.

The video is of my cat checking out her basket soon after she first saw it. The photo is of my friend's newly adopted cat in her new basket that I gave her recently. Both cats enjoy their baskets in their own homes. My cat really likes to play with the ball attached to the rope.

All my fosters and personal cats love this basket. I hope to get 3 more. Nice quality. Strong and yet cushion is soft for them. Great gift idea for cat owners.

I bought this for my cat Ru (roo). He didn't pay much attention to it but now it is his favorite. Ru has a brother named Sarge - who is my sister's cat. Sarge lays in the basket if its empty, so now I've ordered another basket for Sarge and I am anxiously waiting for it to arrive. My motivation to try this basket was the information that we humans tend to throw away our cat's stuff when it looks raggedy. The cats spend so much time making a basket theirs, then we toss that personalized possessio...

The new favourite cat bed at our house, loved by both our big boys and our littlest girl. And by me because they love it and it does really well in the washer and dryer. Buying a second set to help avoid kitty tiffs.

You have to be patient! My Theo didn't pay too much attention to it at first. But once he checked it out, he was hooked! He sleeps in it several times a day now. And that makes me very happy,seeing how comfy he gets in it. I've tried several other beds and he would never lay in them. I am so happy he loves this one! And it fits him perfectly 🥰

We have two cats, so two baskets. One cat is brown and the other gray so I was curious to see which baskets they’d choose. Initially they chose contrasting baskets. But then the gray cat decided he’d sit in both baskets.

Love everything about this basket - its simplicity, natural materials, portability, neutral colors, "ears" and ball to play with. We put a natural wool pad in the bottom of it and the cats love it.

We are making progress. Blue loves to sit in our garden and watch the birds fly by. She will walk from the middle of our yard to the front door calmly while in her harness, but she's not interested yet in taking neighborhood walks-she's too scared.
The customer service for Stimulicat was exceptional. By their measurements, Blue was a small, but when it came, it was too big. I contacted them, and sent Blue's exact measurements and they sent an extra small harness that fits her well. They told me...

My boy recently lost his sister of 16 years. He’s been spending a lot of time in this basket since then. Because of the way it swaddles him, I think it gives him a lot of comfort.

I have 4 cats and am always buying them various beds which they always reject but these baskets are the best! They love them, so am now ordering another two for various rooms in my house and one for my friend's cat too.

We have two Maine coon cats they love this product! The attached tail provides lots of fun!! I’m sure this winter they will spend hours in the basket in front of the fireplace. We bought the largest size offered. Our girls are 15-16 lbs but are very long. We would appreciate if you offered an XL with a 16 inch diameter and would absolutely order again for a larger size! . The quality is excellent, we are very happy with the purchase.

Finally, a harness that actually works! My rescue cat Luna was getting destructive from boredom - scratching furniture, knocking plants over, the works. Three days after starting outdoor adventures with the Stimulicat, all the bad behaviors stopped. She's like a different cat now - calmer, happier, more affectionate. The quality is outstanding too, no signs of wear despite daily use

I'll be honest, I almost returned this because of the price. But after our first walk, I understood why it costs more. The difference in quality is night and day compared to pet store harnesses. Felix went from hating his old harness (would hide under the bed) to purring when I put this one on. The customer service team also helped me get the perfect fit. 10/10 would recommend!

I bought two, one for each cat. Anchovy's is under the bed, because that's where she likes to sleep, so I don't have pictures of her in it. But Cirrus clearly loves his, and he is quite picky. He used to sleep in my houseplants, even though there are several beds scattered around the house, so I was thrilled that he took to this one! He is deaf, and I've accidentally startled him by petting him when he is sleeping more deeply than I realized. I've recommended to my fellow cat owners as the beds ...

I have bought countless other beds. My cat has never stepped paw in any of them…. Until now. He took right to it. As soon as I set it down next to him, he immediately jumped in and sat down!

Blackie took about a week to lay in the basket but now uses it every day. She seems to really like it. I wish you had included instructions not to remove the sewed on leather tag. I cut it off thinking it was just another tag but in doing so it exposed the joining of the rope sides. Now I have threads hanging. I will try to sew this area up but Blackie doesn’t seem to mind just as it is. She always smooths her mouth on the basket weave. It was a good purchase. Pillow is nice too!

This bed basket was an immediate hit!! And my cat has hated every cat bed I’ve ever bought for her!! The size (15–19 lbs) is perfect for my 14 pound cat- I’m glad I went with this larger size. Highly recommend!!

Our cat never usually likes anything we buy and prefers a cardboard box. But this time she hopped into the basket and loves it. She is quickly making it hers by rubbing her face on it and scratching the base.

Most of the time she's in her basket sleeping. Before I got the basket, she'd sleep on the shelf that I have in the window. I would say that she likes the basket.

My cat Opie, first day I got it, she checked it out by sniffing it and goin inside and then coming out. I thought OhNo she’s going to reject this one too and I then will have to give it away like all the others I bought in the past. BUT THEN a couple of hours later, she got in and curled up and took a looong cat nappy.
I was so excited and elated and it’s been her go to bed since the the first day it arrived!!!!!
I love that she loves it so much ❣️
Thank you for Opie’s new and forever bed.

Instant success. When the basket arrived, Gracie sniffed it for 5-6 seconds, looked at me and meowed. I told her it was for her. She then daintily stepped into it, curled up and stayed for an hour. I ordered a second one for my bedroom.

Ella May loves her new basket. It's one of her very favorite places to play, rest and watch the world go by. It's well made, sturdy and serves as a great diversion from her finding destructive scratching opportunities.

As a vet tech, I see a lot of stressed cats in poorly fitted harnesses. The Stimulicat is the first one I'd actually recommend to clients. The pressure point distribution is clearly designed by someone who understands feline anatomy. My own cat, Pickles, who previously hated being restrained, actually seeks out this harness for walks. The difference is remarkable from a behavioral standpoint
