Cat Tunnels

Last Updated on April 15, 2020

Tubes, tunnels, paw-pattering noodles! Whatever you call them, most cats seem to really enjoy these! I have looked at many options and have found one for each kind of kitty out there. What tunnel-type is your cat?

Curved: Crawler

Great For:
  • Slow players
  • One or two cats
  • Small to medium cats

This kind of tunnel is great for explorers who like to crawl. The curved option allows them to remain hidden from some angles in the tube. This option is also great for cats who enjoy zig-zag play. With only two entryways and a small window, your cat will feel pleased with his/her hunting game!

Straight: Runner

Great For:
  • Fast players
  • Multi-cat
  • Medium to large cats

If your cat loves bolting in a straight line at hyper speed, they will love this! The straight tube allows your kitty to run straight through and the length also allows them to hide within the tunnel itself. Having 4 entryways allows easy access for multiple cats to play at once.

Circle: Lounger

Great For:
  • Lounging and casual play
  • One or two cats
  • Small to medium cats

For cats who prefer to lounge around and be warm, this cozy and circular option allows for your cat to be completely hidden. It can also open up into a straight tunnel for some faster playtime. Not to mention, it also looks like a donut!

3-Way: Sporadic

Great For:
  • Hyper players
  • Multi-cat
  • Medium to large cats

If you want to see your already crazy cat go even wilder, this tunnel is for you! It has three entryways with a center “pop-out” hole for endless options for your cat. This is also a great tunnel system if you have more than one kitty. The shape tends to be a favorite among kittens and multi-cat homes!

Straight Short: Shy

Great For:
  • Shy/skittish players
  • Single cat/kittens
  • Small to medium cats

For a more cautious cat who may find a long tunnel intimidating, this is a great option. Your cat can lay around inside it or choose to bolt in and out of it. The size is small enough to not be overwhelming but big enough for your kitty to still enjoy being inside of.
