The nice folks at Catpods sent us an Original Catpod to test and, boy, was everyone excited to check it out! It’s really sturdy and weighs enough that it doesn’t move around, at least on the carpet. The cardboard is very dense and so far has stood-up to some serious scratching. And I love that all the Catpod products are made in the USA!
The peepholes on the sides are a real attention getter. Arms and noses are constantly being poked into the holes. “What’s in there?” says Theo.
Ando of course dominated while I had the camera out, but everyone has been taking turns in (and on) their new Catpod. They absolutely love it!

My little Lucy would look so comfortable curled up in the original cat pod. Lucy thinks she is the Queen and in there she would know she was.

The original is my favorite. I have (2) very active cats that are constantly looking for new places to play hide and seek. This will keep them occupied!
September 29th, 2011 at 3:04 pm
The Original Catpod would be amazing for my 3 rambunctious kitties. <3
September 29th, 2011 at 3:19 pm
My two cats would both love the original cat pod for the hiding spot, but I think my favorite is the set with 2 speed bumps, as those would be perfect for when they like to lounge under the bed.

The Original Cat Pod. WANT! Love the little pokey holes
September 29th, 2011 at 4:52 pm
My persians would love this, especially peeping on one another!
September 29th, 2011 at 4:55 pm
Kitty speed bumps, hee, hee!
September 29th, 2011 at 5:06 pm
The original catpod is what I would choose although I think the kitty speed bumps are such a cute idea. Oh and the peep holes would be a hit! Thanks for the chance to win.
September 29th, 2011 at 6:08 pm
My boys would love the original!
September 29th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
Definitely the original cat pod. But I have a feeling my dog would like it too.
September 29th, 2011 at 6:14 pm
The original catpod is the best! My cats really like tubes – we have a cat tree with different shapes, and the tube is definitely the most popular… I think they’d sit on and scratch both the inside and the top, and of course those peep-holes are awesome, too. GREAT product!
September 29th, 2011 at 6:16 pm
I’m digging the original catpod and so is my kitten Petey
September 29th, 2011 at 6:21 pm
My mom had bought my three an inexpensive tunnel not knowing if they would like it. Two of them LOVE it. They would REALLY love this. It would also help Jules from getting pounced when Abbey wants him out
September 29th, 2011 at 6:35 pm
my two would love this! the kitty speed bumps are funny too!
September 29th, 2011 at 7:17 pm
I like the original catpods design. My cats love to go through tunnels!
September 29th, 2011 at 8:38 pm
My kitties would like all of them! They would be happy with any one of them!!
September 29th, 2011 at 8:41 pm
Great photos! I can definitely see my cats fighting over who gets to sit on top of the original catpod….
September 29th, 2011 at 9:07 pm
Can I have an original with a couple of speed bumps…paw-lease?
September 29th, 2011 at 9:11 pm
I can tell the original catpods would be a new favorite for Ali. The holes provide a little mystery, he can scratch all he wants, and he can sleep in it too! A little bit of kitty heaven!
September 29th, 2011 at 9:41 pm
I like the original cat pod best. Great idea and made in U.S.A.!
September 29th, 2011 at 11:59 pm
Destiny and Derby would love The Original Catpods™. They like a hiding place where they think they can’t be seen, but where they can still see what their humans are up to!

The original catpod is definitely our choice. Both our girls absolutely LOVE anything that has a whif of cardboard smell and the catpod with its tunnel shape and fun peak a boo holes I’m positive would be their favorite from day one!
September 30th, 2011 at 5:18 am
My cat is a Maine Coon, and he would LOVE the original! He could hunt and catch prey to his heart’s desire with one!
September 30th, 2011 at 5:48 am
Oh my 5 rescues would absolutely love the original catpod! I can just picture them hiding out, swatting thru the holes, playing king of the hill, etc. What fun, not to mention saving my furniture =)
September 30th, 2011 at 5:52 am
The original catpod would be purrfect for my little girl, Baby. She’s in her comfort zone in little cubby holes, so this would make her very happy.
September 30th, 2011 at 6:56 am
The original catpod would be nice for my male black cat who has destroyed a few beds and needs a new resting spot.
September 30th, 2011 at 7:25 am
These look awesome!! My kids really, really, really want a kitten. I’m going to surprise them soon. Since, we are an eco-friendly family these are fantastic!!
September 30th, 2011 at 8:33 am
I absolutely love the original catpod, because it’s so multi-purpose. I have multiple cats (7), so I know they would enjoy reaching through the holes to play with each other… and cats have such an affinity for cardboard, to begin with.
September 30th, 2011 at 10:51 am
What a great idea! My cat would love the original catpod since she LOVES cardboard.
September 30th, 2011 at 11:17 am
All 3 of my little precious purr pusses would love to play in the Original Catpod! I bet the Puzzle Loungers and Kitty Speed Bumps are great entertainment too!
September 30th, 2011 at 11:32 am
We have four charming kitties — and although I think they would adore the speed bump(s) — the Original would be my choice for them!!
September 30th, 2011 at 11:51 am
I think my FELV+ foster kitties would LOVE a big scratchy cozy Original Catpod to play on! They wanted me to thank you in advance. They said they’ve never won anything before
September 30th, 2011 at 1:21 pm
My cats would go KRAZY for the original pod!
September 30th, 2011 at 1:24 pm
My favorite is the Original Catpod because it looks comfy and cozy and because the beautiful blue kitty residing inside — in the photo at the top of your the homepage — looks just like my sweet boy, Trooper, who presided over our family of rescues for eighteen years before he passed away last month. So cute!

I love the original catpod! It is such a smart design and can be used for play in so many ways.
September 30th, 2011 at 1:47 pm
The oiginal catpod would be great for my kitties to play on/in!
September 30th, 2011 at 3:05 pm
they are all cool but i think my girls would like the speed bumps the best as they run through the house.
September 30th, 2011 at 3:16 pm
The original is pretty awesome. Pooky already loves cardboard, so she’d adore having a whole giant piece all her own!
September 30th, 2011 at 3:20 pm
My cat LOVES cardboard. She would be in heaven if she had this!
September 30th, 2011 at 4:06 pm
I had so much fun viewing the web site for Catpods! I really chuckled at the ‘speed bumps’ as there are those times when My Three Sons could and should slow down! I like the original cat pod and think any combination of the speed bumps would be a blast too. I am sure that with 3 boys one would certainly be in a Catpod whenever the other two were not near by….. If it were bigger I may even like curling up in one and sharpening my nails too!
Winston, Marcus Stuart and Napoleon all love the Catpods! From the amount of responses to this contest I am sure this product will be a popular one! Congratulations to the company on a clever, innovative, fresh, all AMERICAN made product! Paws up!
September 30th, 2011 at 5:47 pm
I love these! I am torn between the Original Catpod and the Kitten pod. My 5 pound Siamese (Misha is 3 yrs old and full grown!) would LOVE the smaller one, but my other cat is more normal sized and might prefer the orignial. Hmmm….. choices, choices, choices.
September 30th, 2011 at 9:18 pm
My three cats would absolutely love this, they enjoy hiding in small places and they love their cardboard scratcher. Such a creative and unique design, they would have a blast.
October 1st, 2011 at 12:13 am
oooooohhhhh…. Original CatPod!
October 1st, 2011 at 1:45 am
I love the speed bumps idea, that’s so funny! We’d have to have a ton of them in our place to stop our speedster Chester!
We really like the Original Cat Pod! I love that it’s all American too
October 1st, 2011 at 7:33 am
Our 3 rescues would absolutely love the original. They can go inside or they can drape themselves over the top. Kitty heaven!
