Customer photo review of Instinct Basket | Meet the first research-backed natural territory for indoor cats

Sarah P.Verified

This one belongs to my Farley. He loves to sit/sleep in it while I am on the couch watching TV. He jumped right into it as soon as I opened it up and set it down. He doesn't use it for scratching yet. I don't know if he will, but he does enjoy his basket.

Of the 3 baskets I purchased, this one gets the most use. It sits on the bed, and all 3 of my cats have used it. Every morning, there is a cat in the basket. My Luna loves to lie in the basket with the pad over her. She thinks I can't find her there. None of the cats uses the basket for scratching. That might be because I have 6 other scratching post options for them. Great quality product.

Bindi, our beautiful rescue cat, enjoys her instinct basket. I was so surprised that she was intrigued by it and took to it immediately. She had refused different types of beds. previously. Soft and furry, large and small, it just seemed that she wasn’t used to beds and having something of her very own. I put the basket in front of the fireplace , as I had with all the others and she jumped in! She uses it all the time now when she’s not stealing mom’s and dad’s recliners. Thanks for creating a ...

The kittens, Jasper and Mango both love the baskets and scratch, play, fight, sniff and occasionally sleep in them. They do prefer them without the cushions so far, but they sleep on them separately.

Customer photo review of Explorer Harness | Less boredom. More discovery. A better life for your indoor cat.

Mark G.Verified

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 honestly can't believe how much she loves this basket. 9.5 times out of 10 when I buy her any product she shows no interest. As soon as I opened the basket and sat it up she was all over it! She LOVES it. I'm so glad I took the chance. Also, I didn't expect the absolutely adorable (removeable) hedgehog print cushion in it. So freaking cute! 🥰🥰🥰

These baskets are my cats favorites!! They sleep in them, play in them, and use them as scratching pads. I was hesitant to by but am SO glad I purchased!

Kitty Jillian loves her Stimulicat basket. She naps in it, plays with it, likes to be pulled around in it. Only problem is first day she started unraveling the attached ball. It has continued to be pulled apart and wondering if that is okay, or perhaps expected. The video I have is too large to send. Don't know how to make it smaller or how to know when I have made one that is appropriate size.

Sorry I don’t have a picture of Grace lying in her basket but she sure does. Sometimes with her cushion sometimes without. She just curls up and enjoys her basket and many times goes off to sleep while in her basket. I have spent money at the pet store on the scratching post which she does not use. Her basket works just as advertised. She scratches in it and loves to play with her basket and with the corded ball. See my photos of Grace playing with her basket. It’s exactly as shown in your...

My cat absolutely LOVES this—it’s his favorite spot in the house now! He curls up here every day while I’m working or watching TV. It’s incredibly cozy and clearly very comfortable. Excellent purchase—highly recommend! I got the larger basket, and my cat is a big, super-soft tabby (~15 lbs), and it fits him perfectly.

Jasper is particular, so I had to figure out how to entice him into the basket. I put a little catnip on the bottom, he went in and took to it right away. I haven't had to put catnip in again because He loves going into the basket, curling up, playing, sleeping, keeping watch, and getting belly rubs.

Miss Kitsi loves the basket. She was always pestering us to sit in our laps, but now she is very content in her new comfort zone. We bought several so that all of the cats can have their own napping basket. There are usually two or three baskets occupied. And the two cats with claws have found their favorite place to scratch.

Sheryl W.Verified

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!!

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.

My kitty ADORES his new Stimulicat basket! I had my doubts when I ordered it and figured that I would have to send it back. He NEVER likes a cat bed but I decided to try one last time. I am simply AMAZED that he tried it and has made it his happy place. It’s so portable that it goes from the kitchen to the fireside to the bed! Watching my kitty play and curl up to sleep in his basket is just adorable. I can’t explain how the attraction works but it does! I plan to purchase several more of t...

This is my second review. I bought three of these cat beds and scattered them around, and now My kitty Zoe is completely addicted. She loves these beds so much she hardly ever cuddles with me anymore and I miss her.

I have big cats, but they don’t know that & they hopped right in. In the morning they play king of the basket. They also sharpen their claws on it. Great purchase

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. It definitely lives up to the promotional hype! mh

Right when I opened these my kitties went straight in and they NEVER lay in any beds. They scratch it and sleep in it and LOVE it as you can see!

My cat never uses cat beds. I thought I would try this one. He loves it! It is his choice all the time except when he sleeps with me on the bed. I also gave two to a friend and one of her cats is in it at her house.

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.

The cats absolutely love this. there is a constant change in who is in the basket at any one time, but it is occupied for a good part of the day.

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.

I have two cats , it seems like they want to stay in the same basket, but I am trying to make them use both. They love them, The material is indeed of very high quality and the female cat (the one in the picture) loves to take strolls when pushing the basket around.

This harness literally saved my relationship! My girlfriend was about to move out because our cat Whiskers was destroying our apartment from boredom. I found Stimulicat after researching cat psychology (desperate times!). The difference was immediate - Whiskers went from destructive maniac to adventure buddy. We now take daily walks and he's the calmest he's ever been. Thank you for making a product that actually works!

David H.Verified

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

Customer's grey cat lounging in an Instinct Basket with small toys on a tiled floor.

Diane B.Verified

My cat loves these baskets! He knew exactly how to use it as a healthy scratching device and also loves to lounge in it. He prefers to use it without the cushion that comes with it, so I just placed the cushion in his cat tree (which he enjoys). These are terrific for their claws, hold up really well, and are also wonderful places for them to curl up and sleep. Bravo!

She loves it! Just wasn’t impressed with the cushion but when I removed it and placed the basket on the sofa she went right in, gave it a scratch and settled in for a nap. She naps there several times a day now.

I’ve ordered and bought so many accessories & toys for ten year old Amanda, that she walked away from - but She climbed right in “her basket” within the first day it arrived and spends considerable time in it each day without any encouragement! It’s her go-to place!

Sylvia R.Verified

I bought this for two cats in particular. Sebastian the ginger kitty in the photo, has anxiety issues. When he is in this basket he is calm. He uses it daily. 🧡 I purchased a second basket for a former feral cat Rowdy, he actually prefers his other beds, but Sebastian took over his basket too ! So it has been a success in this respect. I was hoping that Rowdy would use the basket to feel comfortable, and to wear down his nails. We will see if this happens in future, but for now it's in his sp...

Moody followed all the steps outlined in the add. He sniffed the basket, stepped into it, leaving his mark each time until it became "his". I have donated his other beds as this is all he wants now.

This is my savannah cat, Belle, in her basket on day two. The first day she just walked around. And at and got out. The second day she sat in it for several hours. This is her room, so she sits in it a lot. However, her nails are not getting any shorter!! How long will that take?

I have 3 cats, and I was hoping that at least one of them would try these baskets. All 3 did check out these beds, and 2 have officially claimed them as their own. They love them! I already ordered another for my house, and getting one for my mom's new cat!
