Absolutely! No matter the breed of cat, every cat needs to release their scent through their paws, face and yes even their pee

After proper setup t he only scent the basket absorbs is your cat's own natural pheromones — which are odorless to humans. There are zero chemical treatments, zero synthetic adhesives, and zero artificial dyes in the rope. No off-gassing, no mildew out of the box. Compare that to the reviews for cardboard scratchers that smell like glue and cat waste on arrival, or pheromone diffusers that emit a burnt plastic odor strong enough to melt nearby picture frames. The CuddleCom Instinct Cat Basket smells like nothing to you and smells like home to your cat.

We get it — you've probably spent hundreds on beds, scratchers, and towers that sit untouched while your cat sleeps in a cardboard box. Here's why this is different. Most cat products are made from synthetic materials that repel your cat's scent. Your cat can't claim them as territory, so they walk away. The CuddleCom Instinct Cat Basket is handwoven from natural rope that absorbs your cat's pheromones permanently.

Dun Dun DUUN, Of course! the cone of shame that most kitties go through in their life. They still need a space to feel safe and relieve stress, our basket is made for them.

Before we brought this basket into the world, a whole lot of testing was made inside voluntary cat shelters. We test all the breeds of cats, whether neutered or not and got to the same conclusion: These kitties love this basket!

Our Basket is made with natural hand woven rope which gives your kitties the right amount of resistance and doesn't feel like the "cone of shame"

The natural rope doesn't fray or disintegrate the way cardboard and sisal do. It actually compresses and tightens with use, getting stronger over time rather than falling apart. Owners of large breeds — Maine Coons, Ragdolls, cats over 20 lbs — report months of aggressive daily scratching with no structural degradation. The basket is available in two sizes (up to 15 lbs and up to 31 lbs)

Cats scratch both vertically and horizontally — it depends on what's available and what feels satisfying. The CuddleCom Instinct Cat Basket's raised walls give your cat a vertical scratching surface along the rim and an angled surface along the inner walls, while the base allows horizontal scratching and kneading. Many owners report that cats who previously only scratched vertical surfaces (like couch arms and door frames) transitioned to the basket because the natural rope texture is more satisfying to their claws than any synthetic fabric in your home. The key isn't the direction — it's the material.

In most multi-cat households, each cat wants their own territory. That's actually the point — the basket becomes one cat's claimed space because their unique scent is locked into the fibers. We recommend one basket per cat. Our multi-cat bundles are our most popular option, and reviewers in multi-cat homes consistently report that territorial conflicts and spraying decreased once each cat had their own dedicated scent anchor. Most households with two cats end up ordering a second basket within 30 days of the first.

Dr. Magda Sylburska is a certified veterinarian specializing in feline behavior and indoor cat wellness. Her recommendation is based on observed behavioral improvements in cats given access to natural scent-absorbing materials — including reductions in over-grooming, furniture scratching, hiding, and litter box avoidance. She is not a paid spokesperson reading a script. She endorses the CuddleCom Instinct Cat Basket because the product aligns with established feline ethological principles — specifically the role of pheromone-based territorial anchoring in reducing chronic environmental stress.

A decorative storage basket isn't designed for cats. The rope type, weave density, and wall height of the CuddleCom Instinct Cat Basket are specifically built for feline territorial behavior. The natural rope is porous enough to absorb and permanently hold your cat's pheromones from their paw pads and cheeks. A HomeGoods basket might use treated, coated, or blended materials that don't absorb scent the same way. The den-shaped walls are sized to give your cat the enclosed boundary security they instinctively seek. The rope texture satisfies scratching instincts so it doubles as a scratcher. And it's been endorsed by veterinarian Dr. Magda Sylburska specifically for indoor cat territorial enrichment. A $15 basket gives you a basket. This gives your cat territory.

It would be — if it were just a cat bed. But the CuddleCom Instinct Cat Basket replaces three products you're already buying: a scratcher that shreds into cardboard flakes every few weeks ($20 every 2–3 months), a plush bed your cat probably ignores ($30–$60 wasted), and a calming diffuser with expensive monthly refills ($25–$45/month). That's $150–$300 a year in products that either fall apart, get rejected, or plug into your wall and smell like burnt plastic.

Don't forget your furniture too!
