"I went for the cheaper option first."
Classic mistake. I ordered the budget version first and regretted it within a week. Should have gone with this one from the start, the difference is obvious once you have both in front of you.

"Bought it as a gift, then ordered my own."
I gave it to my sister without really knowing whether she'd use it. She messaged me about it twice in the first week, so I ended up getting one for myself as well.

"Still going strong months later."
I'm three months in and it's exactly as good as it was on day one. That almost never happens with the things I order online. Genuinely worth what I paid for it.
Everything Indoor Cats Are Missing
The rope holds your cat's scent right away, so the spot becomes theirs.
Put it down where your cat already sits. That's the whole setup.
Handwoven rope that takes the scratching instead of your furniture.
Covered by our 45-day guarantee, even once your cat has used it.
Reduces Stress & Protects Health
More than 1 in 2 indoor cats suffer from territorial stress- living without a space they can truly claim as their own. This territorial stress is linked to urinary blockages,kidney problems, and a shorter lifespan. Sadly, cats hide their stress until it becomes a serious health issue.

Give your cat 45 Days
Cats take their time with anything new. Give them the full 45 days to settle in and claim the basket as their own. If they never take to it, we refund you, even if it has already been slept in and clawed.
Excellent
Exactly as described
Arrived quickly and it's exactly what the page said it would be. No surprises, which is honestly rare these days.
Faster than I expected
Ordered on a Monday and it was here before the weekend. Packaging was neat too, nothing rattling around inside the box.
Does the job, no fuss
I don't need anything complicated, I just need it to work. This does, and it takes about ten seconds. That's all I wanted.
Was unsure at first
I sat on it for a couple of weeks before ordering because I wasn't sure I'd use it enough to justify the price. Two months later it's still in daily use, so that answered that.
Ordered a second one
Liked mine so much I got one for my partner. She's now using it more than I do, which I did not see coming.
Really helpful support
I had a question before ordering and got a proper answer the same day, from someone who clearly knew the product. That's why I bought it here.
Worth what I paid
Cheaper options exist, I know because I owned one. This one has already outlasted it and it still looks new.
Would recommend it to anyone
Two friends have already asked me where I got it. Not much more I can say than that.
FAQs.
What materials is the basket made from?
Natural, eco-friendly cotton and linen rope, woven by hand over more than 3 hours per basket. No plastic core, no chemical coatings and nothing glued on. That matters, because your cat sleeps in it daily and claws it just as often.
Is it suitable for both kittens and adult cats?
Kittens, adults and seniors. Choose by weight: Small (42 cm) for cats up to 7 kg, Large (48 cm) for 7 to 14 kg. If your cat is between sizes or likes to stretch out fully, take the larger one.
Does it trap heat or make cats too warm?
No. Cotton and linen are breathable and the open weave lets air move through the walls and the base, unlike foam or fleece beds that hold body heat. Cats use it year round, and in summer many sleep stretched along the raised edge instead of curled up inside.
How does the basket support my cat's well-being?
Cats need territory they have claimed themselves. 1 in 2 indoor cats suffers from territorial stress, and cats without a claimed spot are 70% more likely to develop stress-related health issues, urinary problems among them. The basket gives your cat that spot. In our study, 96% showed calmer, more relaxed behavior within 2 weeks.
Will this match my home decor?
It is made to sit in your living room, not to be hidden away. Three natural colors, brown, grey and green, and a handwoven texture that reads as a piece of furniture rather than pet gear. Which helps, because it works best in the room you actually spend your evenings in.
Can this basket help my anxious cat feel more at ease?
That is exactly what it was developed for, together with cat behaviorists. Anxious cats settle once they have one place that smells like them and gives them a clear view of the room. The raised den walls provide that enclosed lookout, and the natural fibers hold your cat's own scent permanently, so the sense of safety builds with every single use.
How is the StimuliCat Basket different from a traditional cat bed?
A traditional bed is a soft surface, and that is all it is. Synthetic and coated fabrics cannot hold your cat's pheromones, so the bed never becomes claimed territory. This one absorbs that scent and keeps it, doubles as a scratching surface and has a built-in yarn ball, so resting, scratching and play all happen in the same claimed spot.
What makes the Instinct Basket worth the investment?
Every basket is handwoven over 3+ hours from natural rope and built to be clawed daily for years, instead of replaced every few months. It takes the place of a bed, a scratcher and a toy at once. Vet tested and recommended by Dr. Magda Sylburska, in over 12,000 homes, and backed by our 45-day guarantee even once your cat has used it.
