Kitty City Jungle Cat Cube Combo, Collapsible Cube

The side hideaway boxes are nice and sturdy but the tunnel will stay collapsed. Wire within tunnel that should hold it up seems very thin and can’t support the weight. Cat completely ignored tunnel but enjoys the side towers. Material is very thin. Easy setup

I ordered the Jungle combo ahead of picking up our new Maine Coon kitten, Floki. In the past we’ve had indoor-outdoor cats but this new kitty will be indoor only (except on a leash or in the catio we are building) and I was concerned about him having enough to do. I had a tunnel for my other cat years ago and she showed no interest in it so I had no idea what this new kitten would think of this. Well, he loves it!

We brought home our 3 month old Maine Coon mid-December and he is so great about playing and entertaining himself. We play with him too of course but I wanted him to be able to have choices about where to hide and what to play with on his own. He runs across the house and then dives into the Jungle Combo, races through it to the other end and then out again. He’ll spend long periods of time just playing inside of it with whatever toy he carried into it. For us this has been a great choice and the Combo setup is a great deal. I see that the price has gone up to $22.99. I got it as an add-on item for $8.99.

The only issue I have with it is that the “cubes” tend to fall over sideways at times because they aren’t “locked” onto the tunnel. There are short pieces of velcro around the inside of the holes in the cubes where the tunnel fits into and it seems like somehow the tunnel and cubes should attach by that velcro, but we cannot figure out how to make that work. Sounds simple but it’s not. Maybe ours was put together wrong in that regard. So that’s an issue but we still love this thing for Floki.
The jungle design on the outside is really cute. I just wish it was on more sides of the cube since we move it around and sometimes end up with the plain gray sides showing but that doesn’t affect the usability.

I’m thinking about adding on to it with another Combo.

I already had 2 Kitty City cubes before this and they have been fantastic. They have maintained their shape better than another cube I own and have held up well to A LOT of cat action.

My cat, Rhubarb, really loves the tunnel, but there are some things I’m not a fan of.
1) The tunnel doesn’t have much structure. Other tunnels I have have stiffer wires that hold the tunnel’s shape a lot better. This tunnel has a tendency to sag into itself and get squished out of shape by my cat
2) The way the tunnel attaches to the cube isn’t super secure, so if your cat likes to absolutely BLAST through the tunnel like mine, you may find yourself reattaching it a lot.
3) Although my cat does like looking through the mesh portion of the tunnel, obviously it’s also prone to catching claws. For some reason, though, my cat likes to take advantage of its “catchy” nature and he likes to drop the spring toys he fetches onto it and try to get them to stick onto the mesh.

The cube in this set is great, just like the ones I’ve had in the past, but I’m not a fan of the “hut.” I thought it would be different and fun, but I would have preferred a second cube. Because of its shape and the way the wires are placed, it doesn’t hold its shape that well and even comes with a square piece to put in the bottom to help hold it open – except that piece doesn’t stay in place well at all and my cats don’t seem to like it and avoid stepping on it. I don’t know why they didn’t just add a wire around the bottom of the hut like they have in all the cubes. I guess maybe it would have prevented it from folding as well…? But I don’t care about that, I didn’t buy it to leave it folded.

Unless you really love the cute pattern of this set, I would highly recommend buying just the regular cubes from Kitty City and buying a different, sturdier tunnel. You may need to find a different way to attach the tunnel to the cube if it doesn’t have the same velcro system, but the velcro system doesn’t work that well for the tunnel anyway, so I wouldn’t consider it that much of an issue.

I will add that these cubes are very cleanable. My oldest cat briefly had some behavioral issues after some new kitties joined the home and she peed on / in the cubes 3 times. After soaking in some soapy water for a few hours, rinsing, and drying, I wasn’t able to detect any pee smell left in the cubes.

So I would rate the cube 5/5, the tunnel 3/5, and the hut 2/5. Just stick to the cubes.

Bought this in Aug 2020, my Bengal/Sphinx mix still loves it. She still plays with it every day! Some of the hut seems are finally pulling apart which just makes it more fun for her, however I’m going to buy another one for when this one finally dies! There are wires in the tunnel but not spiral as another person mentioned, which I think is better because it allows it to move to the cats liking while still keeping a tunnel shape. Mine does like to fly into the air and land on top of it which does crush it, but she seems to think that is fun too. It just springs back to its original shape. She also likes to bite the material at all the openings and it has still held up. We love it. We also found another tunnel and cube at Walmart- different critters on the material which again makes it that much more fun! I gave it a 4 star for sturdiness because it is floppy or bouncy but in a way that is fun for the cat. Product overall is a total 5 star and I am not easily impressed. But my cat has spoken!

ما اعجبني ابدا خامته سيئة وكلما تحركت القطط بداخلها طار مو ثابت وعكس صورة المنتج يجي مجعد جدا وما يوقف واضح جدا رخيص وانباع باضعاف سعره

My kitty loves this a bunch! He plays and plays with it, puts his favorite little toys in it, and runs in and out of the three holes in each compartment. He isn’t a big cat, but he keeps tipping over one of the ends. He delights when I put it back upright – even jumps in for the ride. For the price, this item is sturdy. As rough as he is with it, all parts are still in great shape after six months of his rough play. If he ever does rip or break one of these little houses on the end, I’ll just buy another set. It’s definitely worth it.

Don’t mind the mess, they had a little scuffle over ownership and I ordered another. The quality is surprisingly really good, feel like the joints could be a bit stronger but as of yet, 2x10kg Maine Coons havn’t managed to separate it. Both ends (the houses) are quite big, can fit a Maine Coon no worries, so would fit atleast 2 normal puddy tats, I’ve ordered another, might even order another again and connect them all up. If you own multiple cats, consider 2, as they defend this more than a junkie does his stash.
