Instinct Basket | Handwoven & Chemical-Free Cat Territory

I've tried Rabbitgoo, Puppia, and two other brands - all failures. My Maine Coon mix would either panic or slip out. The Stimulicat is engineered completely differently. You can tell someone who actually understands cats designed this. Bella walks confidently and has never tried to escape. The materials feel premium and it's held up perfectly through daily use. Finally, money well spent!

Great harness overall! My Norwegian Forest Cat, Thor, is quite large and most harnesses either don't fit or look ridiculous on him. The Stimulicat fits perfectly and looks proportional. He took to it much faster than expected - maybe 2 days of indoor training and he was ready for outside. Only giving 4 stars because I wish it came in more colors, but functionally it's perfect

I was SO skeptical after trying 4 other harnesses that failed miserably. My Bengal, Milo, would either freeze like a statue or somehow Houdini his way out within minutes. The Stimulicat is completely different - he actually RUNS to it when he sees me getting ready for walks! The fit is perfect and he's never even attempted to escape. We're now up to 45-minute adventure walks and he's the happiest he's ever been. Worth every penny!

The video is of my cat checking out her basket soon after she first saw it. The photo is of my friend's newly adopted cat in her new basket that I gave her recently. Both cats enjoy their baskets in their own homes. My cat really likes to play with the ball attached to the rope.

She loved from the moment it arrived and now we do daily walks she’s 15 years old !
I only got this cat just under 3 months ago and her previous owner said she was not harness trained so this is unbelievable!
She’s 10lbs I bought an Xs it’s perfect 👌

All my fosters and personal cats love this basket. I hope to get 3 more. Nice quality. Strong and yet cushion is soft for them. Great gift idea for cat owners.

I bought this for my cat Ru (roo). He didn't pay much attention to it but now it is his favorite. Ru has a brother named Sarge - who is my sister's cat. Sarge lays in the basket if its empty, so now I've ordered another basket for Sarge and I am anxiously waiting for it to arrive. My motivation to try this basket was the information that we humans tend to throw away our cat's stuff when it looks raggedy. The cats spend so much time making a basket theirs, then we toss that personalized possessio...

The new favourite cat bed at our house, loved by both our big boys and our littlest girl. And by me because they love it and it does really well in the washer and dryer. Buying a second set to help avoid kitty tiffs.

We have two cats, so two baskets. One cat is brown and the other gray so I was curious to see which baskets they’d choose. Initially they chose contrasting baskets. But then the gray cat decided he’d sit in both baskets.

Love everything about this basket - its simplicity, natural materials, portability, neutral colors, "ears" and ball to play with. We put a natural wool pad in the bottom of it and the cats love it.

You have to be patient! My Theo didn't pay too much attention to it at first. But once he checked it out, he was hooked! He sleeps in it several times a day now. And that makes me very happy,seeing how comfy he gets in it. I've tried several other beds and he would never lay in them. I am so happy he loves this one! And it fits him perfectly 🥰

My incredibly bonded boys really try to get into one but half of one hangs out.
It’s probably a good thing that they don’t have tails (Manx) so they take a little less room😆 But they don’t care … when it’s time to cuddle that’s what they do.
but they each love their own basket they are interchangeable because their scents are so intermingled.
Your customer service is next to none and I appreciate what you did for me more than you know.
Simon and Thomas highly recommend them!

My boy recently lost his sister of 16 years. He’s been spending a lot of time in this basket since then. Because of the way it swaddles him, I think it gives him a lot of comfort.

We are making progress. Blue loves to sit in our garden and watch the birds fly by. She will walk from the middle of our yard to the front door calmly while in her harness, but she's not interested yet in taking neighborhood walks-she's too scared.
The customer service for Stimulicat was exceptional. By their measurements, Blue was a small, but when it came, it was too big. I contacted them, and sent Blue's exact measurements and they sent an extra small harness that fits her well. They told me...

I have 4 cats and am always buying them various beds which they always reject but these baskets are the best! They love them, so am now ordering another two for various rooms in my house and one for my friend's cat too.

We have two Maine coon cats they love this product! The attached tail provides lots of fun!! I’m sure this winter they will spend hours in the basket in front of the fireplace. We bought the largest size offered. Our girls are 15-16 lbs but are very long. We would appreciate if you offered an XL with a 16 inch diameter and would absolutely order again for a larger size! . The quality is excellent, we are very happy with the purchase.

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!

Blackie took about a week to lay in the basket but now uses it every day. She seems to really like it. I wish you had included instructions not to remove the sewed on leather tag. I cut it off thinking it was just another tag but in doing so it exposed the joining of the rope sides. Now I have threads hanging. I will try to sew this area up but Blackie doesn’t seem to mind just as it is. She always smooths her mouth on the basket weave. It was a good purchase. Pillow is nice too!

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!!

It took about a month, but one of the kittens is finally using one of the 2 baskets I’ve ordered.
Overall, the baskets are very well made and look nice. They’ve arrived quickly and in good condition. I’m happy with them. Just wish that the second kitten would use it too.

This is not the cat I bought a bed for, but all 3 cats like these beds and are in them regularly. Other beds I have tried are completely ignored for the 6 foot dog bed (right in the middle) or stealing the human seats, of course.

Beni love his new basket and really loves to lay near me and look out the window while I work. He is a recent rescue from a TNR colony and is adjusting to life indoors. The new basket has really helped by becoming his safe place to rest.

My cat Atticus loves his basket. It is on the couch and is his favored place for naps, particularly in the evenings when I sit on the couch and watch TV. He likes chewing on the double knot, other times, he sleeps on the knot.

My cats love their baskets. My chihuahuas also love to lounge in them. They play with the attached knotted ball and love the cushioned bedding for the basket. I am so glad I purchased 3. They are in use daily.

Our cats are absolutely in love with the baskets!!! Though I bought them because of the ad, I’m still always skeptical. After all, merchants want to sale their wares!! Well, this product lives up to the “hype!” Our babies love them!!

Johnny Kash loves his personal basket. From the moment I opened the package Kash jumped right in to check it out. The basket is his favorite place to nap or just hang out. Kash loves his basket so much, I ordered 4 more to share with his brothers. Johnny Kash highly recommends the Stimulicat Basket for all of his feline friends! Johnny Kash says it is Purrfect!

Zen loves this basket.... he often play with it, not just lay in it. We bought a smaller one previously, and he gets in it (he's 14 pounds and about 30" long)... but it's very cozy. The bigger one gives him a bit more wiggle room. He loves both of them.

Initially, I set baskets on my lap where Kitty usually naps. Moved it next to me on the couch. Came home the next day and found her all curled up in it. Kitty approved.

Our cat never usually likes anything we buy and prefers a cardboard box. But this time she hopped into the basket and loves it. She is quickly making it hers by rubbing her face on it and scratching the base.

I bought two, one for each cat. Anchovy's is under the bed, because that's where she likes to sleep, so I don't have pictures of her in it. But Cirrus clearly loves his, and he is quite picky. He used to sleep in my houseplants, even though there are several beds scattered around the house, so I was thrilled that he took to this one! He is deaf, and I've accidentally startled him by petting him when he is sleeping more deeply than I realized. I've recommended to my fellow cat owners as the beds ...
