Pop Open Cat Cube

Basic cat cube that kittens love! I buy these by the dozen b/c they're affordable and kittens love them! We foster kittens and I've yet to find a kitten that doesn't love this. These are perfect for fosters being kept in an enclosure also, because the cube doesn't support their weight if they try to jump up on top of it. They're constantly jumping up on top of it and when they do so, it just sort of collapses. They're kittens, so no one gets hurt and it keeps them from using it as a platform to jump out of their enclosure. The nylon material holds up well and easily wipes clean. The little ribbon toy sometimes gets a little frayed, but I've yet to see it actually tear or become a hazard. Bonus that these are so affordable that I usually send this cube with them so they can take something familiar with them to their new home. When not in use, they also fold flat and take up zero space. Note that like other collapsible cubes, this one instructs to twist to collapse. I always struggle with trying to twist it the right way then get the elastic band around it so it doesn't just pop right back into shape again. Instead, I just fold it flat and skip the twisting/bundling step. Push one corner into the other so it becomes an "L" shape, then fold that "L" in half. What you get is a 15x15 square that is not even the thickness of a sheet of cardboard. To me, it's much easier to store this way. Yes, the twisted bundle measures out at a smaller (~ 7") diameter, but it's thicker and because it's not completely flat, you can't store other things on top of it. I also love the added bonus that these colors are toned down and somewhat neutral so it's not a glaring, neon, brightly colored cube in my family room.

We just use the cube, no tunnels. The cats love them! They jump inside, jump on top, flip them over by jumping against the inside, pop out the top when an opening faces up. They are light weigh so no injuries when they plow into it. But sturdy, no rips or tears despite a lot of use. We bought a second one, so both kittens can play at the same time, but they often wrestle together in one cube.

These are cute, and our kittens loved playing in them and our older cats enjoyed "hiding out" in them. The now-grown kitties beat these up, jump on them, squash them and knock them around the house. And yet, they still hold their shape! Good value for the money.

This is the third cube we’ve purchased in 15 years, not because the cube is flawed, but because the cats just love it so much we’ve had to retire the last two due to getting used so much! Our cats love these things, and while I can’t say we’ve bought this exact brand the last two times, I’m pleased to say the cats love this one just as much as the last two and the quality is just as good, if not better. This is easy to fold up if you need to tuck it away, it’ll fold flat if needed and the frame is sturdy and springy, so no worries about that breaking. The fabric is slick, so it’s easy to kick out of your way when the cats leave it in the hall overnight.

My kitties love playing in these flexible cubes. They jump in and out, roll around, use it to "hide" and stalk each other and just have a lot of fun. I like it when they do the "pop goes the weasel" move and jump out at each other from an opening at the top of the cube, so fun to watch them playing. These cubes are pretty sturdy compared to other brands, but are still subject to wear. Giving this 4 stars instead of 5 stars because you need to stitch up and reinforce the seam binding on the outside edges with heavy-duty thread to keep the wire frame attached to the cube . The seam binding used on the on the edges is a silky nylon material that wears out quickly and frays, which lets the wire frames poke out. The manufacturer really should use material that can stand up to friction better. The cube's wire frames will get bent out of shape, but that's after a lot of vigorous play time. Of course when you have a cat that jumps "on it" rather than "in it", the cube will get lopsided in no time (but is still useable). See the picture of a cube that has been pounced on a lot. The wire frame is sticking out on the right side where the seam binding frayed away. I repaired it after this pic was taken and the kitties are still playing with the cube.

Cats love it. Even sleep in it.

My Kitty "Misty" loves her cube. She is in and out of it all the time. She drags her toys in it and keeps her happy for hours. It is made very well and stands up to her claws and playing.

My 2 cats love to play in these cubes. Replaced the 10 year old cubes I previously had. Constructed well and a good price.

Really great toy for a kitten. I fully expected the flimsy material to fall apart after a few days but absolutely not. My kitten rolls around the room in this play box... no harm done! As opposed to the tunnels...it takes up less space. An inexpensive cat toy.

The cube is sturdy and stands up to abuse from my cats. The only thing us that it is a bit too opaque and we can’t see through the full walls. But the cats don’t seem to mind much. Very happy with the cube overall!!

La calidad es buena y es una alternativa más ordenada que tenerles las famosas cajas de cartón que tanto les encantan.

it's quite solid and can be attached to tubs or be played on its own.

When I took off the packaging, this thing literally popped open, sprang out of my hands and onto the floor where my 2 year-old rag doll was waiting. She immediately went into it and has love it ever since. Now that she is more used to it she uses it more for interactive play: I dangle things outside the open areas and she attacks them, or I drag something along the top of it and she tries to attack it there. The sides of the cube are just soft but very strong plastic so it isn't sturdy in the sense of keeping its shape while you're using it. However, Annie doesn't seem to mind and sometimes she's actually rolling around in it in pursuit of something. Glad I bought it. I'll soon put it away for a month or so and bring it out again to keep it "new" for her.
