Do Kittens Enjoy Cat Tunnels

[catlover4ever1423]

Hi,

We recently took in a kitten we found in our neighborhood , shes realy an outdoor cat. Were trying to keep her occupied in a safe manner. Question is, do cat tunnels do the job? and what kind/brand would you recommend,

Thanks!

I bought 2 very cheap ones (£1 each). I wanted to see if they would be used without spending money on an expensive one. My cats love them, run through or hide in them.
I joined the two together and this is what happened.

Ok! Looks like fun. Any recommendations on brand or size etc?

Mine are 25cm diam. Amazon have lots to choose from that look as if a kitten would enjoy playing in. Later you could always buy another and join then together. Hopefully other members will respond with their experiences and recommendations.

I would try to find a bigger one. The one I bought on Amazon was too small for a full grown cat. Here's a link to it, it might be okay for a kitten, but too small for my cats:

I had a kitten that would slide through cat tunnels just cause. If it was on the way to where he was headed he would make a little detour to slide through. He absolutely loved it.

Some of our cats loved a tunnel and others were oblivious. I'm sure you could make the tunnel more attractive by putting treats or a toy the cat prefers in the tunnel.

My good friend's kitten LOVED her tunnel. My 2 were a little older and never really got into it. I think a bigger size might have helped. Or getting one when they were younger.

We brought home a cat tunnel after adopting our last cat since she loved the one they had at the cat shelter. We now have two different ones. They are both long Jackson Galaxy ones. All our cats use them every single day even now when they are all grown up (Carrot 5 years, Angua & Ruby 3 years).

My sister bought a cat tunnel for our cats about five years ago and it's still their favorite toy!

Remember that some tunnels cannot be washed in the washer, like thePetlinks Twinkle Chute tunnel...

my favorite tunnel is one that I've had a long time, and my latest cat loves it as well, even though it's a hand-me-down from my previous kitty


You can wash it:
