It accommodates various toys and catnip, promoting natural hunting behaviors while providing a stimulating environment.

## Description

Cats have an instinctual desire to watch cracks and crevices, especially when they know that something is hiding just beyond their sight. The Peek-A-Play Toy Box is designed to build on your cat's instinct by partially hiding some of your cat’s favorite toys, and your cat will go crazy fishing them out. Peek-A-Play is especially great for those times when you have to leave your cat home alone, because this toy will keep your cat occupied for hours. Rotate the toys in the box so they are always digging for something different, and for extra fun, put a few food treats inside.

## Features

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is the box made of solid wood?  or is it a composite?**
A: Our information states it is made of sturdy wood construction.

**Q: What size are the balls? What are recommended replacement balls?**
A: I haven't measured the balls but the hole openings are 1.75 inches across. I put all kinds of things in there for the cats. All their toy mice fit, lots of different balls. Their favourites also include Petmate Loony-Loops, Cancor 1.5" Mini Mylar & Plush Fluff Crinkle Ball, Ethical Atomic Bouncing Ball Cat Toy, Ethical Pet Wide Durable Heavy Gauge Plastic Colorful Springs Cat Toy, Colorful Intertwined Rubber Balls - Pack of 12, and Ethical 1-1/2-Inch Mylar Balls Cat Toys to name a few. Possibilities are endless. I don't know what I would do without this toy. I change the toys inside every 3-4 days to keep their interest so they don't get bored with the same old things.

**Q: I have a very large (24 lbs, healthy weight 23) polydactyl cat (extra toes up front, looks like bit mittens for paws).  Are the holes big enough?**
A: Yes, the holes are pretty big, maybe 1 1/2 to 2" wide. I think that it will not be a problem for your polydactyl cat.

**Q: How big are the holes?**
A: The holes are 2" big and is not recommended for kittens since there is a possibility of them getting their heads caught in the holes.

    More than just a box with holes

     This box is a great toy for the cats who just have to get into EVERYTHING.  The construction is sturdy and well-made; I have no concerns of my cat inadvertently receiving injuries from uneven edges, exposed nails, or the like.  The wood is solid enough to support my 18lb cat.  It might seem a bit expensive for, essentially, a box with holes in it, but for us it was worth the money.  I had attempted to make similar toys, but they just couldn't stand up to her weight/muscles/claws.What can you put inside it?  It comes with two toy balls that fit snugly inside the box.  The balls that came with my purchase are not easily removed; in order for me to take them in or out, I have to use a bit of force. This can be good or bad - if your cat is really excited and persistent, s/he could conceivably get the balls out, but a more timid cat might give up.  But you aren't limited to just those toys.  It fits well most small cat toys, from stuffed mice to cage jingle balls.  Of course, treats or kibbles are always a hit.Does the cat actually like it?  Our girl definitely does.  She wasn't interested in the balls that came with the box until I "marinated" them in catnip for a few days.  I thought she'd enjoy digging out her favorite toys,

    , but that hasn't been as big of a hit as other options.  So just keep in mind: if one thing doesn't work, try another!  The treats are the biggest hit.  If you're worried about giving your kitty too many unhealthy treats, I recommend finding some healthier ones, like

     or others made from dried meat.  Or just use her regular dry food!  Then you can feel a little better about playtime, knowing kitty is getting a healthy treat and a mental/physical workout.The video I provided is her first experience with the box, just a few minutes after opening it.  She now will occasionally go to sit by the box and look up at me when she wants me to drop some treats in!

    my useful item tips
  

*by J***C on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2009*

when I saw this 14" model for $22 shipped here on Amazon - I grabbed one.I already made this toy out of a Tupperware casserole container to use as a puzzle feeder, so I took a star off this item for not having a removable bottom for easier cleaning.  the 2 hard foam balls that come with this box are not easy for your cat to remove, so there is less worry about finding the balls later under your furniture.  the holes are 1-3/4" diameter, making them perfect for rubber super balls and golf balls - all are that same size.If you buy mice toys to hide in the box, I recommend any with an internal tinker bell, rattle, or electronic chip that squeaks when moved, and make sure to get the medium to large sized mice in the 3"-5" range, or it will be too easy for your cat to remove them, thus reducing the continued play appeal.  don't be discouraged if you don't see your cat play with this unattended as my cats often play with it at night while I'm sleeping - I can tell since each morning the toys and balls inside are in a new position.This item has a thin flat finish over it's high density fiber board, assembled with a nailgun machine, not screws.  don't worry, all the nail heads are recessed.  If you are the handy do it yourself type, you might enjoy the opportunity to further stain or spray paint this box to better match your decor.  The only colors cats can distinguish are yellow green and blue, so using those colors could make for a more interesting toy.I respect many reviews who post their cats were disinterested in this toy, so if you want to test your cat first, cut holes in a narrow granola cereal box, tape the ends closed and stuff a ball and mouse toy inside to simulate this Peek A Prize.  if your cat goes for it two or more times, then buying this heavy duty well finished cat toy box will prove to be a useful long term investment in your cat's mental and physical wellbeing.The 44mm balls in the 
  
JOOLA BALL SET 3/2/2 Table Tennis Balls







  
  
     fit perfectly into this box, and cannot be easily removed by your cats as would normal 40mm balls.  so now my cats can enjoy the original foam balls, dense rubber super balls, and hollow light ping pong balls, all without me having to find them under the furniture later.

    a really fun toy for your cat that DOESN'T frustrate them (like most automatic toys do)

     My Siamese kitten, Freya,  is very energetic, so I have tried a number of toys to keep my home harmonious.  This is definitely one of the successful ones, and my cat enjoys playing with it when I load it up with plastic practice golf balls ( 
  
Jef World of Golf Gifts and Gallery, Inc. Practice Golf Balls (Orange, Set of 12)







  
  
     are her favorite type, though any similar ball should work almost as well in it ).  To use it, you just drop toys inside, get the cat to notice, and watch them go wild fishing toy after toy out of the box like a kid on Christmas morning. It doesn't last forever, and you'll need to gather the toys up afterwards to reload it for the next use, but the real advantage of the system is that, since the cat fishes the toys out, this is one of the few automatic type toys that gives the cat a very satisfying "hunt" (even wand toys need rests where the cat catches he item, and then a final item thrown for them to "capture" after, so as not to frustrate your kitty.)So, if you want an automatic toy that is fun for cats and not frustrating, this is a good choice, just be sure to add on a pack or two of plastic golf balls to use it to its limit.pros:-safe-semi automated-my cat really enjoys it-doesn't frustrate the cat like many semi and automatic toys-fairly well madecons:-the balls come out fairly easily, so you'll want to load i up with a lot , and even then you'll have to gather and reload every few minutes.-it comes with two crummy balls. i suggest buying wiffiel ball syle plastic golf balls ( by the dozen) to load it up with like in my video.  That adds to the cost a little, but the cat enjoys it.-made out of mdf instead of real wood
