If you've got a fearless feline or two in your home, then it's time to reach for the Pawaboo Cat Tunnel Tube Collapsible Play Tent.

This fun, lightweight addition to a room transforms your floor into a kitty playpen, complete with multiple exits and entrances, ideal for playing the most common games with your cats, including hide-and-seek and treat-based fetch.

The best cat toys are often the most simple and the Pawaboo Cat Tunnel Tube doesn't disappoint in this area: it's hassle-free and doesn’t need batteries, so it's great for pet parents, but just how does it stack up in the feline entertainment stakes?

If you're not sure whether to buy the Pawaboo Cat Tunnel Tube Collapsible Play Tent for your little adventure cats, we'll be weighing up some of the pros and cons of the product, including its durability, size, special features, and most important of all: entertainment value! 

Pawaboo Cat Tunnel Tube Collapsible Play Tent: Features

Featuring spacious tunnels and a sleek black and blue design, the Pawaboo Cat Tunnel Tube Collapsible Play Tent considers both style and convenience.

It's made from polyester taffeta, which holds up to a cat's claws pretty well, even considering its lightweight design. Even kitties with a wild streak will find it difficult to puncture the material. However, the product does suffer a few issues in the durability department. 

The key feature here is that it's collapsible, the tubes pop out and can be folded easily away using the provided elastic band, but its handy convenience also presents a challenge to the design of the play tent.

The wire rings can come away from the fabric with plenty of frequent use, but by and large, the Pawaboo Cat Tunnel Tube Collapsible Play Tent is surprisingly tough for even the wildest of kitties to explore. 

There's some great design choices here. We love the peephole at the top that they can poke their heads out, and there's a real focus on providing a fun sensory experience for cats. The addition of the hanging ball bell toy and the fact that the material makes a rustling noise is a great touch for engaging cats, alongside the simple hide-and-seek functionality. 

With a diameter of 25cm x 35cm, it's also fairly roomy for most kittens and small cats to move and turn around in but it could pose a tight squeeze for tubby or adult cats. 

Pawaboo Cat Tunnel Tube Collapsible Play Tent: User Reviews

Feline fans of the Pawaboo Cat Tunnel Tube Collapsible Play Tent love playing, hiding and generally letting loose inside this handy hideaway. The sensory features are typically praised by pet owners who love seeing their kitty go wild at the sound of the bell and crunching material.

Even kitties who have clawed immediately at their new toy in a furry frenzy have not caused too much destruction to the product's hardy material. 

It's regarded as fairly sizeable for kittens to move and turn around in, but pet owners can find it on the small side for older cats. 

Owners who want to use the product outside have been disappointed with the material not being waterproof. Its design does look akin to the material used on an outdoor tent, but it isn't suitable for use in the backyard. Small animal owners may find use for it inside the home instead.   

Should you buy the Pawaboo Cat Tunnel Tube Collapsible Play Tent?

If you've got multiple cats or kittens in your household, buying the Pawaboo Cat Tunnel Tube Collapsible Play Tent is particularly advisable. There's nothing quite like the sight of many felines popping in and out of their new toy for maximum entertainment value - for owner and kitties alike. 

Elderly cats who prefer a more laid-back lifestyle in their golden years may turn their noses up at this cool cat toy, so we recommend it mainly for kittens and young cats who are likely to get a lot more use and enjoyment out of it.

The product is available in a few different styles, from 3 to 5 tunnels, so be sure to choose the best one for the number of furkids in your home.
