Dsumky Collapsible Cat Tunnel — 35" Fish-Design Play Tube with Hanging Plush Ball (Ocean Blue)
First order: WELCOME10 — 10% off at checkout
The Dsumky Collapsible Cat Tunnel is a 35-inch (9.84″ diameter) fish-design play tube with a hanging plush ball and crinkle lining — for indoor cats up to about 15 lb, kittens, and bored adults that need a reason to run. It twists flat in seconds and wipes clean. Honest note: at $59.99 it costs more than typical budget tunnels, and it's a thin-walled play tunnel, not a bed. Sold by ChicFind, an independent small business, with free U.S. shipping.
Your cat already sits in the Amazon box. This is that instinct, in a better shape.
Cats seek enclosed spaces because a tube with two exits is defensible — something can only come at you from a direction you're already watching. It's the same wiring that makes a cardboard box irresistible, and it doesn't switch off in a centrally heated flat.
A tunnel gives that instinct somewhere to go, and adds the one thing a box doesn't have: a reason to run through it.
Pros & Cons
- 35.43″ of runway — longer than most single budget tunnels (typically 25–30″), so cats can sprint and turn instead of just crouching.
- Crinkle lining plus a hanging plush ball trigger stalk-and-pounce play; the ball moves when brushed, so the cat causes the motion itself.
- Twists down to a flat disc in seconds — out for play, away when guests come; costs you no floor space.
- Hair lifts off the fabric rather than working into the weave; a damp cloth and air dry is all the maintenance it needs.
- $59.99 is a premium over typical $20–$30 collapsible tunnels — you pay for the larger 35″ tube and the fish print, not a fundamentally different product.
- 9.84″ diameter is snug for big breeds; a Maine Coon or broad cat will find it tight.
- No peek holes — some competing tunnels add one or more for pawing through.
- Not machine washable (a machine crushes the spring frame), and the plush ball is a consumable — determined chewers will destroy it fast.
- The crinkle is the point, but noise-sensitive cats (or owners) may find it annoying.

What buyers complain about
"Too small for my big cat" — the #1 complaint on cat tunnels, period
Across Amazon and Chewy reviews, 9–10″ tubes suit average cats, but owners of Maine Coons and broad cats call them tight — some won't go in at all. Measure before buying: at 9.84″ across, this tunnel honestly suits cats up to roughly 15 lb. If yours is bigger, a larger multi-way tunnel is the better buy.
"The spring poked through / it collapsed mid-play"
The classic cheap-tunnel failure: a spring end works loose and sticks out through the fabric — one Amazon review described the wire protruding several inches — or the tunnel buckles while the cat is inside and scares it off. Inspect the spring seam when it arrives, and retire any tunnel whose wire is exposed. Supervise play; this is a fabric toy, not furniture.
"My cat completely ignores it"
Real reviews describe tunnels sitting on the floor for weeks, collecting dust, while the cat won't go near them. This is a novelty problem, not a tunnel problem: drag a wand toy through it for two or three short sessions so the cat chases something into the tunnel — and put it away between sessions so it stays new.
"Chewed the hanging ball off"
Kittens and rabbits chew attachments — one manufacturer's own warning notes that a chewed-through tunnel can expose the spring wire. If yours is a determined chewer, cut the ball off and play with a wand toy through the tunnel instead. Never leave a partly chewed ball attached.
What's in it
Suspended mid-tunnel so it swings when brushed. Movement your cat causes is far more interesting than movement it doesn't.
The rustle is the point — it mimics prey in undergrowth and triggers the stalk.
Twists down to a disc. Out for play, away when guests come.
Damp cloth. Hair lifts off rather than working into the weave.

Is this right for your cat?
We would rather you skip this than return it.
- Your cat is under about 15 lb
- You have a kitten or a bored indoor adult
- You want something you can put away
- Your cat already hides in boxes and bags
- Your cat is a large breed — 9.84″ is a snug tube for a Maine Coon
- You want a bed — this is a play tunnel, thin-walled by design
- You need something machine washable
- Your cat destroys fabric toys — the plush ball will not last
Put it away between sessions.
A tunnel left out permanently becomes furniture within a week and gets ignored. Bring it out, play for ten minutes, fold it away. Cats respond to novelty, and rotating a toy in and out is the difference between one that works for two years and one that works for four days. This applies to every cat toy you own — rotate three or four, don't leave them all on the floor.
Questions people actually ask
Will a big cat fit?
The tube is 9.84″ across. A cat up to roughly 15 lb passes through comfortably. A Maine Coon or a very broad cat will find it tight.
My cat ignored it on day one.
Normal. Don’t push your cat into it — that teaches avoidance. Sit at one end and drag a wand toy through so your cat chases something into the tunnel. Two or three sessions is usually all it takes.
Can it go in the washing machine?
No. A machine will crush the spring frame. Wipe with a damp cloth and air dry.
Will my cat chew the hanging ball off?
Some do. If yours is a determined chewer, cut the ball off and use a wand toy through the tunnel instead — the tunnel itself is the durable part. Don’t leave a partly chewed ball attached.
Is it suitable for rabbits?
Small rabbits, yes — though rabbits chew fabric far more than cats do, so supervise and expect a shorter life.
