My fur baby Inky Rose absolutely loves her basket. She took to it right away. She loves filing her nails ( finally). She loves biting on the rope, and she loves napping, Best investment I've ever bought for her. <3

Vasco usually sleeps on the floor and his brother in the different baskets or nests I have bought…. But He immediately adopted the instinct basket to sleep, receive brushing or play, especially by going under it! I need a second one for Vijay now!

As you said it did take them a few days to actually get in the basket and sleep. But they love them. They grab the "tail" and move it around the room where they want to sleep. They scratch and play with the basket every day. At night you can find them curled up in them. My cats are big boys, 16 and 18 pounds and they fit perfect in the basket. Thank you for making such a great product.

My two cats took to the beds immediately. I bought two in the small size, and they were such a hit that I got one in the large size too so that I could put a bed in all their favorite napping spots. I like the natural appearance that goes with any decor. The cats and I are very happy with this product!

All 3 of my Cats Luv the Baskets & the Mats ! They feel happy when cuddling in the baskets. They then get frisky clawing the inside, edges & outside of the baskets. I really Luv the baskets as well. They are very well made I am very impressed with all of them. I bought 2 baskets & 2 mats. Now I need a 3rd basket !

The beds came with a small round pillow, but the kitties wouldn't use their basket beds until I took the pillows out! Now they love curling up in them, scratching the bottom with their nails and playing with the rope ball!

my cat loves to stratch, don't they all.. I have successfully not had her scratch the furniture.. but saw this online and thought it looked good.. all but straight away she rubbed it but Within days she's obsessed with it.. she pushed it around the floor, curls up in it.. its brilliant, so happy.. I will admit she doesn't want the cushion though..

This is my 18 year old Nola. Her favorite cozy corner on the heated floor in the bathroom. I would like to give you a video but as you can see, it is her favorite sleeping spot. Very cozy on winter evenings close to her food, water, and litter box. The size is perfect. The pillow is very easy to clean her long fur that sheds. It is well-made and very sturdy.

Cat rubs against it all the time and scratches the bottom of it every time she gets in it. She plays with her toys in it and curls up and sleeps in it as well. Highly recommend!

I haven't had it tooo long, but at first my cat didn't want anything to do with it. I left it on the floor anyway, and little by little, he's starting to spend a small amount of time in it. He doesn't seem to care for the pillow though. I'm just leaving it down, and he can take to it on his own terms. It's VERY well made. Thank you so much!

My boy took to it straight away, my silver Girl not yet, but I think she will when she see he loves it, she loves the play in it but hasn’t slept in it as yet.

Trixie was skeptical about it at first. She walked around the entire bed smelling it. I played with the ball on the floor with her and I got her to jump in. She sniffed some more. After a day or two she realized that this was pretty cool for her. Thumbs up!

I love this because my cat loves it. Sturdy and strong. My cat plays with the toy, claws at the sides and sleeps in it also. I bought a second one after the great reaction from the first one.

The basket is extremely good quality. The first couple of days my cat scoped out the attached toy, then started playing with it. By the third day I found him curled up asleep in the basket and then several times over subsequent days. I’ve moved his basket near the radiator when it’s cold which he will certainly love. So glad I purchased one!!!!

I purchased 2 baskets for my cats. They each picked a basket and have used them for napping and scratching since day 1. I’m very happy about making this purchase.

My cats did exactly what you said they would do. At first they just looked at them and then A few days later each of my 3 kitties claimed their baskets. I am so glad I bought them!

We bought two our cats go in them and sleep but neither cat scratches them but They are well made. I wonder if a flat mat that is more like the cardboard scratcher or even a vertical post wrapped in your rope would work. I absolutely hate cutting my one cats claws because he tries to bite me, not fun!

I can't seem to upload the 2 pictures. They each have a basket. Each cat owns that sleeping basket. They don't switch off. It took only a couple of days.

These baskets have changed their lives for the better. They make them feel warm and safe and sometimes I find them sleeping together in one basket. I wish I had found these baskets 3 years ago.

Both cats liked the smaller basket first and the black one bonded the 2nd day. After a few days, the big boy took it over, as is his want, but the black one adopted the bigger basket and they’ve both been content.. They love sleeping in them but don’t use them for scratching. This colder weather also adds to their cozy appeal. My guys don’t usually bond to new sleepers at all. Good job!!

Meet Roo! He’s the youngest of two brothers and probably the smartest of the two. He loves his basket of calm! I do see him scratching the outside from the inside….This is his go to place he feels safe during the day. I bought two of them, one for Roo and the other for Archie. Archie’s the big boy Ginger… he did not take to it at all. So Roo has two to choose from. I haven’t checked Roo’s nails yet to see if they are somewhat trimmed, that’s for down the road.

We've had the basket for a few weeks. Blue didn't seem interested in sleeping in it, so we sprinkled some catnip on the small pad that came with the basket. Now, Blue sleeps in the basket almost every afternoon. She loves the combination of basket + catnip! 😻

Georgie loves his new bed/basket. He enjoys curing up in it and playing with the attached toy and looks forward to scratching around in it before taking a nap.

I had one basket for 4 year old Gus, our grey boy. But Rusty, a year and 4 months old, felt left out. Now he has his own and is loving it! That’s his nap location daily.

Lady Seraphina Fluffington and I thank you so much for the amazing basket. As I was told in the beginning, it might take a few days for Lady Fluff to be interested. And just as you said, it did, indeed. About day four, she had somehow discovered the basket, and she is now in it ALL the time. She even flipped it over to have a better angle from which to scratch. She loves it so much, I ordered two mats for other places in my home. Thank you so much, Kat

My tuxedo cat also goes outdoors. He loves to get into bags and boxes. His nails need to be cut often, as he does not keep them shortened scratching outside on trees. I thought he would like this basket and He enjoys sleeping in it and playing with it.

My cat is almost 15 years old and she loves it! Best thing I ever bought and would recommend this to everyone. She hopped right in as soon as it came and she sleeps in it every night! Thank you so much for a great product!

I have two male Bengals, very territorial and the baskets are a great hit. These are beautifully made, very durable and easily sculpted to the cat's curl. Well done and thank you for caring for our animals.

The grey and white cat got to lay in the basket only once because the black and white cat claimed ownership and won't give it up, ever! However, I bought the basket to help keep the black & white cat's claws trimmed down, but I have never seen her scratch at the basket. She just relaxes and sleeps in it.

Rudy wasn't quite sure what had replaced his blanket so I picked him up and placed him in the basket. And he stayed! And he loves it! He frequently comes to take a nap while I'm working. He has a window view and will sometimes peek over the side, as if he is in stealth mode. It's petty cute and funny.

I bought 2 of these. At first it was just one, but when I saw the both of them using it, I had to get another. They absolutely love them! We are moving into a much bigger house, so I’ll be getting more to put around the house for them.

Whiskey really enjoys his instinct basket! One minute he is using it like a scratching post and the next minute he is curled up in it. The material is made of is very high-quality material. Worth the investment.

Sox loves her new bed. It took her all of three (3) minutes to discover it was hers. Sox loves to lay out on the patio … even in this terrible heat. However, the day we received, Sox had no interest in going outside. She chose to stay inside, while lying in her basket. 🐈‍⬛❤️

Tiberius was immediately interested in his basket climbed into it almost from the moment I placed it down for him! He has stayed interested in it! He climbs into it and scratches away consistently throughout the day. His claws definitely do NOT feel the same against my skin! They’re just not as there! As a diabetic, I am incredibly grateful for this! I think he’s a lot happier as a result too! This basket has helped us exactly as it promised to! Thank you so much!

Raincloud seems to like the coziness the basket provides! Was not sure she would even try it but now it one of the places she will rest in! Would recommend!

I've bought so many things for our cat that show didn't like but From the second we got that basket it's been her favorite place to go. I'm so glad I bought it! Best cat purchase ever.

We have 2 cats. Rocky got in the first day I put one of the 2 baskets I bought. Today, days later, Kitty G got in for the first time and fell asleep. I am hoping it will help with the nails. But either way, I think they both will like having them. Quality is very good.

I opened the package, shaped the basket, and placed it on the living room floor. Maggie came over, sniffed it, and walked right in and laid down. The next day she laid in it again and even curled up and slept in it for a while. She has yet to 'pick' at it with her claws so don't know how that will work with her yet. She loves sleeping curled up in a ball so she loves sleeping in her basket!
