Customer's green Instinct Basket on a tiled floor with an orange cat curled up inside.

Timi S.Verified

I got two baskets (one green and one brown) and they both love it. Have one in the living room and another upstairs. They take turns using both and often just decide to sleep together in one of them.

It took Mimi more than a day, but then the basket became her favorite place in the house. After putting me to bed every night, she leaves me to go sleep in the basket on top of my bar cabinet in the dining room EVERY NIGHT now. Geez. In the daytime, when I can’t find her, she’s usually in the basket. Best purchase.

He loves it. Calcifer chooses the basket over all other beds in the house. It has quickly become his favorite. It's adorable watching him sleep in it , play with the attachment or even scratch and flop.

I bought the cat bed for my sister’s cat and he got in it the very first day! You do not need to send me any more emails since I do not have a cat. Thank you

At first the cats just ignored the basket. After a couple of days, this girl Ellie was it for every nap. She loves the ball, loves to scratch, and sleeps well.

We have 2 cats so bought 2 baskets. They love them and have been using the outside to scratch both front and back paws. They love laying in them to take naps and sun themselves.

Tong L.Verified

My cat loves the basket right away. He doesn’t think it’s a scratching place for him at the beginning. but when he’s playing in the basket, he naturally scratches and bite the materials. He also likes to sit in the basket and let me drag the basket around the house. He’s obsessed with the big knot at the end of the rope too.

My kitten Oscar loves his baskets, he’s in and out of them all the time, He especially loves to turn them over and hide under them to attack anyone or thing that passes by. He also likes to play with and chew the attached ball. It’s a great product, well made and really keeps my kitten busy!

My kitty Maui tried it but walks around it now! My other kitty won’t try it. I wonder if there is anything to try to get them to use it? I bought 2, I have 2 indoor kitties.

Geri B.Verified

Sox loves his basket ! His favorite sleep-anap spot. I purchased a second larger basket which we can move about the apartment or put on sofa next to me. He does do some kneading and paw scratching on basket as well. Very nicely made. He " fights" with the knotted tie as well and then lays his head on it for nap. Love my kitty!!

I can’t get my baby girl out of it!!! But so far she’s not using net nails on it. I’m trying to show her how! But This is definitely her favorite bed I’ve ever bought her!

Stefanie S.Verified

My cat, Nala, has lived with me for more than six years. She goes outside, roams around and climbs trees, so her nails have never been a problem, even though she still scratches on furniture. However, ever since she has been with us, Nala has never taken to a basket or a „cat cave“ that I had bought her; she sleeps on the couch or wherever she fancies. I liked the look and design of the Simulicat basket, which is why I purchased it - and Nala has taken to it immediately! She loves it and sleeps ...

Took just a couple days for her to acknowledge the basket but it’s now a go to item throughout the day. We got more than one to move around the house for whatever room she is in! Our rescue kitten is a happy girl!

I already submitted a review on my entire purchase, which included 3 STIMULICAT baskets. As stated, it took a few days for them to warm up. All 3 cats LOVE their new baskets. Asking me to submit 3 separate reviews for the same product in different colors is redundant. Do better

Les L.Verified

My cat jumped into the basket right after I opened up the package. This basket is her favorite place to curl up and sleep. It took her a while to scratch inside the basket, maybe because she prefers the scratching post. Overall, the Instinct Basket is a worthy purchase, and I recommend it!

Bryan B.Verified

I have three of these baskets in different places. The cat's have been trying to be the first one in the one in the sun room. I'm probably going to need to get another one for out there so there's not so many mean looks between them.

Reviewer's black cat resting in an Instinct Basket with tan trim and an olive green cushion on the carpet.

Renee S.Verified

My cat first climbed into her new basket the day after it arrived. Once she did, she has been spending most of the day and sometimes part of the early evening and overnight in her basket. I ordered it with the tan trim. It's very nice and the olive green and off white cushion looks good with the color combination of the basket. I'm thrilled that she is making use of the basket and that it seems to be her little haven.

Patches loved the it the 1st day. He has played sat in it .chewed it and clawed it fot the past 3 weeks. But, I think we need a bigger stimuli cat basket. This will do for now. Thank you for sending it.

My black panther Charlie has claimed this basket for his own. It took about a week and now he sleeps in it every night! It’s next to my pillow. I hear his purring and scratching at it. I’m so happy that he loves it! One of my other cats, Mufasa claims it when Charlie’s not in it! I have another basket I’m trying to get Mufasa to use! I am delighted with this purchase!!!

Eleanor S.Verified

I needed a solution for how to ‘share’ my work desk with my cats. An Instinct basket seemed to be a good idea. 2 cats so 2 baskets - not that I wanted both cats on the desk at the same time. One cat took to the basket immediately and ‘sharing’ is no longer a problem. He even curls up in the basket on the desk when I’m not working. The other cat was slower to take to this ‘new and suspicious’ object but she really liked the flat scratch mat. After 2 weeks they both loved the baskets so much...

Both my cats went into the baskets right away. The girl cat who is grey and white always sleeps there now instead of my son’s room. She has actually claimed both baskets because my bigger cat likes to stay with me, but he does take naps there.

Terri C.Verified

It took Zoey a couple of months to get in the bed. The very first day she’s rubbing her face and stuff all over the basket, but she wouldn’t get into it. It takes her a while to accept something different in the house. Few weeks later, I’d walk into the room and there she would be sitting in the bed. It took another week before she actually laid in it. Now she’s in it on a regular basis. I am pretty sure in a few more weeks it’s gonna be her go to space all the time. Thank you for making such a ...

My cat Buffy loves her new baskets! I mistakenly ordered a large (she is small) so I ordered a small too and Stimulicat was kind enough to give me a $20 discount since it could not be returned. Now Buffy loves both of her new baskets and that’s where you can find her. Thank you StimuliCat! PS The baskets are also great for scratching and she even loves the small rope toy which is attached.

Customer's black cat resting inside the round, white and brown fabric Instinct Basket under a piece of furniture.

Sharon S.Verified

Our cats haven’t been interested in beds since they were kittens but these baskets are a big hit. They’re both 15+ pounds and they typically choose the smaller ones but enjoy the larger one at times, too. They like to sit on the round pad and play with it but don’t care to scratch on it. It might be a little small for them. Shipping time was good although funny that a big huge truck came to drop off the tiny package. Quality is outstanding.

My Sebastian loves his new bed. It fits him perfectly and he always looks so comfy in it. The only thing I haven’t seen yet is him scratching it which is one of the reasons I bought it.

Mary Z.Verified

God bless you!! She loves both her new baskets, of course I am very happy. She looks cozy, her safe place and hides her toy in there. I have tried many beds for her but she used them temporarily, which I got rid of. This was a great investment. It took a while to receive but well worth it💜. As you can see in the photos. 🥰👍🏼🙌🏼 she does use her nails on it, loves the added playful rope ball at the end. Blessings Thank you

Michelle C.Verified

My cat took to this new cat bed immediately and uses it for a long nap a few times every day! This has to be the first cat bed I’ve ever purchased that is continuously used and enjoyed! He also loves to play with the attached ball.

Vicki W.Verified

Out of all the different scratch posts, cardboard scratch beds and soft plush warm beds my 2 cats have, they Both feel more secure in the Stimulicat Bed and really enjoy playing with and tossing around the thick cord ‘tail end’. It is very soothing for my more anxious ginger cat. A well made product too.

Customer photo review of Instinct Basket | Nature's Safe Space Where Cats Choose to Calm

Emma R.Verified

BEST PURCHASE EVER! My Ragdoll was destroying my new couch - tried everything - sprays, tape, those plastic things, even got her 2 different scratching posts she ignored. Was ready to give up and just accept my furniture would be ruined. Vet suggested this basket. Within ONE DAY she was scratching the rope walls instead of my couch. ONE DAY! It's been 4 months and my couch is saved. Plus she actually sleeps in it unlike her $80 memory foam bed.

Thank you for this great product! Our kitten - Comet loves it! When we gave it to him, he knew exactly what it was for and made it his own. He also loved the play sticks, but unfortunately - like most of Comet's toys, our Golden Retriever stole them.

Cindy M.Verified

At first our black panther Obie was skeptical, smelling it and not wanting to get inside. I really thought I’d have to return it and felt so sad. My husband reminded me to be patient. A few days later….he ventured in and finally laid inside! I was so excited! Now it’s his favourite place to relax and play in! Thank you for making this natural and safe place for our feline babies 🖤

I purchased one. I wanted to be sure it would get used. I have 2 cats. I thought they would take turns, but not the case. I had to purchase a second one. They both love them. When I am busy on the computer they don't bother me anymore because they are both in their beds. Thank you for the first bed either one of them would use.

Our cat Jazzy LOVES this basket! She ignored it for the first couple of days until we placed in near a window. She has now forgone all of her usual napping spots and continuously goes into the basket. Whenever we don’t see her around the couch, we can always find her in the basket. I highly recommend this product.

The basket is beautifully crafted. Both Atlas & Zeus love it. I place it at the foot of my bed to sleep & move it around the house with me during the day. They each take opportunity to paw at it and relax. It’s so comforting to see them able to keep their nails conditioned naturally. Highly recommend 👌🏽 thank you 😻

Kali has been taught well about scratching on her scratchers and nothing else that she will not scratch on her new basket. But, She absolutely loves sleeping in it. Right now it is her most favorite place. Tomorrow, August 30th, is her 14th birthday, and that was her birthday present. Couldn't have been better.
