I’m not sure...Gadget seemed intrigued by the new gadget! Try hiding some gadgets, or food inside the “fort”. Maybe if they have a reason to hide inside they will like it. This was great fun! 👍🏼
Angela Brinker Great minds think alike! But I confess it wasn’t my idea. I saw it in use on another You Tube channel a while back. Maybe the one with Cole and Marmalade?
HOLY COW Gadget has grown HUGE. D: He used to be so tiny! Then again, so did Sparta. By the way, you're supposed to hide toys or treats in it so it can become like some sort of cave, and they can go exploring in it and they can find all sorts of treasures of goodies. :D
Kitten Academy has a ripple rug and their foster cats and kittens always LOVE it. It's quite limp, since they wash it between 'classes' but it's a well-adored staple of the Kitten Academy experience.
I would have loved if you had read some of the reviews on Amazon shared why you decided to buy it and how to make the toy/cat product super interesting/entertaining to your cat. Can't wait to see more cat products.
I actually own this product and I definitely can say my cat loves it. It did take a while before my cat started to use it. Might be because of the new smells, but he loves laying and sleeping inside and head diving in and out of the rug. I do agree it’s all based on what your cat likes and personality.
I hope Meankitty channel won’t die thanks to this stupid algorithm. Im an owner of the meankitty and huge cat lover and new video always brights up my day. I have been following Sparta’s journey from beginning and I would be very sad to see it go. Lots of love from UK 🇬🇧
0:40 lol this was hilarious! I like how you didn't tried to move your kitty away from the camera just for the sake of a video like most youtubers! ❤ ✌ 😄
You need to hide some little toys in it, I have a similar version and my cat plays on it most day. I have it down in my bedroom and yes it looks a mess but he loves it 😆 It’s also fun to pull string through it or wand toys
@@TheMeanKitty give it a shot, it will grow on them. And for many of us, we have lots of stuff on our floors, abundant kitty toys everywhere. Just stick it in a corner and they will find it.
I've seen this on Kitten Academy. They actually can have fun with it! Haven't bought one....I still have a giant collapsed box for my cat to play with! It's ugly, too! ;)
10 years ago I was jamming out to the mean kitty song (still remember the lyrics!). now at age 21 I have a mean kitty of my own who looks just like Sparta, and I discover the mean kitty himself has a channel. made my day!!♥️
I got one and used it in conjunction with a cat wand toy. I would “skate” over it with the toy and Bo in pursuit. I would have the toy “hide” in a hole so Bo would fish it out or scurry underneath. It just made playtime a little different. Bo also had to negotiate little mounds in his hunting. I have it in his playroom. BTW, Bo is a domestic shorthair mix. This tabby is 15 inches high and 31 inches long, LOL. I try to keep playtime fresh for him.
Betcha if you were to sprinkle some catnip in various places and add a few toys or kitty treats onto it, they would be much more interested and entertained with it. Imagine the fun of reaching through one of those smallest holes (from either side) to bat at a ball or toy mouse or to draw a treat to where it can be scooped up! Maybe you can think of this as a toy with "batteries not included." Add some "batteries" and see if you get a different result. Also, this is an enrichment toy that i wouldn't keep out in the middle of the floor ALL the time but maybe bring out when going to work or going shopping ect--when Kitty would be alone for a while. By not having it out all the time it will retain that "new and exciting" vibe a lot longer and stay interesting. Am for sure going to give this product a try with my cats and my fosters! LOVING your new cat thing reviews! Please keep doing them!!!
I already said this in response to someone else, but I have to say it again because I keep rewatching the video for this part... the Sparta train going past the camera just makes me giggle myself silly. ;) Classic Cory! Along the same lines, my boyfriend and I still regularly make your sound effect when our cats yawn (from a Sparta video from probably 8-10 years ago). ;)
I made my own ripple rug...just trying to save a few buck$. It worked and I found the right materials but I didn't save THAT much $ ...only about $10...though I have enough material to make and EXTRA ripple rug for friends if I wanted to. My cats are STUPID over this ridiculous thing! It's well worth the $ and unless you really like messing with bulky craft projects, shopping at hardware stores, hand sewing and the like, I recommend BUYING one from the company. This thing is SERIOUSLY attractive to cats. EVEn after they've stomped it down FLAT, they lounge on it, and I have tons of couches, beds, plush rugs and cat beds for them. I don't get cats but , whatever, they love this freaking ripple rug~!
I somehow just found your channel today. I watched several of your cat videos and I laughed and smiled and they literally lifted my chest where I could breath better. My day wasn’t going well and I was heavy with some family things that have been going on; when I stumbled across your “Mean Cats” channel. I subscribed after a couple videos. Then, I saw this! It broke my heart! I am getting older and I’m not a wiz on the computer so I don’t claim to understand how algorithms and views, and likes, and affiliations, etc., all work together to give RUclips their formula. I do know; however, if the powers that be at RUclips are willing to let you go that easily, as hard as it is, you do need to move on! I say that for you!! YOU have grown beyond their platform not the other way around. With these corporations and companies comes the “bottom line effect” on steroids! Gone is the day of handshakes and working relationships. You can see it with all the major ones. You read horror stories about how our top companies like Walmart, Amazon, UPS, Apple, At&T, etc. treat their workers with unethical practices just to make more money for the company! So I would have to assume, as RUclips grows larger the problem will only get worse. That “hoop” they want you to jump through will only get higher. Lost in the search of money is loyalty, honesty and any personal connection at all. Everyone is always so afraid of “big government”; in our capitalist society, however, I think it is “big corporations” we need truly fear. I’m so sorry you’ve now been touched by that greed. When I looked at your videos, I thought “this guy is brilliant” with what he’s doing and the way he’s doing it. “Mean Cats”, came in my home feed, finally, I guess because I had watched a couple funny cat compilations (but they’re so long). After 2 of your videos I went straight up to “subscribe”. I’m very surprised you haven’t ventured out for yourself before now. You have the ability to draw people in and you just look like a super cool fun dude! You could do anything with productions, taping, editing, writing, in front of the camera, marketing, just soooo much talent and capabilities inside you. I’m so sorry I was too late to find your channel to do you much good but thank you for the laughs because I still have a lot of your content to watch on here. I’m sure you couldn’t take it with you. I hope you have landed on your feet and I hope you and your family are doing very, very well. Believe me, it’s their loss!
Please do more weird cat product reviews! I love the idea of doing several per video, even 3 would be good. This rug looked awesome to me, I'm bummed your kitties weren't into it. I'm tempted to buy it though. Or make one.
You fill the ripple rug with toys and treats. Also, I’ve seen that mostly kittens like it more than adults (lots of foster kitten pages on insta have this)
I think it needed a few tunnels for them to go into. Not much to do with a cone shape. lol I also think you should do more products in one video. Seemed really short with just this one. Glad to see more content on Mean Kitty, though! How about an update on the grown up Gadget? He's so big already!
Guess Sparta and Gadget prefer real blankets or chasing things across the floor. Ah, well, other cats might love it! I like this video, hope to see more reviews in the future!
Interesting product. I tend to agree with you in that, yes, my kitties (11 adopted/rescued) would like it, but the novelty would wear off quickly. Good review! Thanks! ♥️♥️🐾🐾
Have just found your channel, subbed & now working through your videos. I think my kitten would love this and I could make one that looks a bit nicer on our floorboards 🤔
Cats play with things much more if you interact with them and the toy. Make it interesting for the cats to want to go check it out. That's how I get my cats to play with new toys.
Did you try playing with the cats using the carpet? There's a lot of potential for pulling string through or snacks and giving them incentive to go inside.
Favorite part: Sparta walking by with the train noise! Loved it
julie r Agreed, that got a LOL here
julie YES!!!
I was just about to post the same thing! Cracked me up! That and Gadget peeking up from behind the rug. ;)
I know, that was funny.
Loved when Gadget’s head pop’d up from behind it. Such a cutie and the Loki pillow still gets me right in my heart
Do more products in one vlog. Take about 15 minutes of doing reviews. I wanted to keep watching.
Yes i was waiting for more products too!
yes, same here
Agreed. This was way too short.
Agreed! it was more like weird cat product, just the one product.
Same, do more products please
My cats LOVE the ripple rug, when they're not wrestling in it, they're sleeping on it to re rest up for the next wrestling match
YEAH RIGHT? Sleeeping on the thing! too funny. IT's WILD how much they love this thing.
Sparta is now at the stage of "Meh, been there, done that, gonna sit down instead".
I’m not sure...Gadget seemed intrigued by the new gadget! Try hiding some gadgets, or food inside the “fort”. Maybe if they have a reason to hide inside they will like it. This was great fun! 👍🏼
This was exactly my idea, it is the canvas and needs to be filled with toys the cats can dig for, or pull through the holes.
I also said basically the same thing - it seems to be designed to hide treats and toys.
Angela Brinker Great minds think alike! But I confess it wasn’t my idea. I saw it in use on another You Tube channel a while back. Maybe the one with Cole and Marmalade?
@@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore I think I did see that on their channel
Gadget has grown so much since the last time we saw him! Such a big kitty now!
HOLY COW Gadget has grown HUGE. D: He used to be so tiny! Then again, so did Sparta. By the way, you're supposed to hide toys or treats in it so it can become like some sort of cave, and they can go exploring in it and they can find all sorts of treasures of goodies. :D
You can hide toys and treats in there. My cats go nuts and love it.
I just made my own and they LOVE it! I haven't hid toys in there yet but I can SEE that they would LOVE it! I'm trying it tomorrow.
That's a very weird cat toy. Like you said, our houses are full of rugs and blankets a cat can hide in. Mostly they like boxes. 😂
Please do more, but more than one product per video. I wanted to keep watching 🙁 so happy to see mean kitty videos though!
Kitten Academy has a ripple rug and their foster cats and kittens always LOVE it. It's quite limp, since they wash it between 'classes' but it's a well-adored staple of the Kitten Academy experience.
The ripple rug is best with little kittens. Chris and DJ of the Kitten Academy has been using one for their fosters for a couple of years.
Sparta with the "I'm not interested," train noise was cute. Gadget wanting a try..... Always cute. I want to see more.
Is that a Loki pillow? Awwwwww. Mixed feelings. I miss him and I never owned him. He still felt like he was my cat.
I would have loved if you had read some of the reviews on Amazon shared why you decided to buy it and how to make the toy/cat product super interesting/entertaining to your cat. Can't wait to see more cat products.

Lmao the train sound when the cat walked by the camera
My cats LOVE it! We are on our second one now. They lay on it, play in it, scratches it and sleeps inside and outside on it. 😊
Sparta is the building inspector. He needs a hardhat and a tiny climboard.
I think my Sullivan would like a ripple rug. The dogs get crated at night and Sully has the run of the great room.
I hope Meankitty channel won’t die thanks to this stupid algorithm. Im an owner of the meankitty and huge cat lover and new video always brights up my day. I have been following Sparta’s journey from beginning and I would be very sad to see it go. Lots of love from UK 🇬🇧
My boy loves to dive into things like towels and paper.
0:40 - 0:42 the best part ever
0:40 lol this was hilarious! I like how you didn't tried to move your kitty away from the camera just for the sake of a video like most youtubers! ❤ ✌ 😄

That is what my cats think throw rugs are for!
the train blowing by was hilarious. Things like that are why I like watching your creations. I'm glad you didn't edit that out.
When I make or bring home a new toy for my kitty I sometimes put a little catnip on it. It's fun to watch.
Gadget is getting so big. He is almost full grown now.
The company has a video called how to shape your ripple rug. You should watch it then give it another try. I think they'll like it.
I’m not really trying to make companies happy. I’m just giving honest reviews.

This was a cool idea!! Maybe angle it up more like a box shape??? I like the idea of this series!
I've seen this on Kitten Academy. They actually can have fun with it! Haven't bought one....I still have a giant collapsed box for my cat to play with! It's ugly, too! ;)
I really miss sparta..where have you been??such along time..
i make it by myself!
2 cats and 2 kitten love this so much.
10 years ago I was jamming out to the mean kitty song (still remember the lyrics!). now at age 21 I have a mean kitty of my own who looks just like Sparta, and I discover the mean kitty himself has a channel. made my day!!♥️
It was nice seeing one of your videos back in my feed! Hope you guys are well!
The Ripple Rug is a big hit in our house.
My cat Sol would love this lol. He's always going under my blanket or pulling up my little rug and running under it
Yep i had to remind myself you said this was coming out. You tube didn't show it to me. I'm sorry Corey. I hope this gets fixed i love you guys
My heart. Love the Loki pillow.

Strange you're coming up on my recommended now when I haven't been getting notifications of your videos for some time.
Used to watch you way way back in the mean kitty videos days much love from Austin Texas bud
If you had thrown some toys into the holes, and drawn their attention to it a little more, I'm sure they would love it.
I foster kittens for my local shelter and would love that for my babies . They would go nuts for it .
Sparta was very helpfully I see !
Love the train whistle! Sparta at his finest!
Always nice to see more mean kitty content!

I think my house panther would LOVE this!
I've seen that on Kitten Academy!
I have runner rugs in my hall that my cat messes up EVERY day. He wrestles with them. This toy is like that.
See, he loves his cat so much he buys it weird products :)
I’d like more vids more often even if it’s just your home life with a little bit of kitty lol

but Kitty did get curious of the sound of that velcro !

This would have been a good series for
Gadget to star in

Perhaps my 5-year-old rug wrecker is just a big kitten, since he’s having a blast with the things so far.
My cat loves his ripple rug.
I had one kitty 🐱 that like to get under rugs and door mats and take a nap 💤. She looked a lot like Sparta. Miss her 😢

Please do more! I am always looking for great things for my daughter’s cats to enjoy.
Loki pillow...
I do the same thing for my cats, but I used the packing paper used in Amazon shipments. Cat tend to like the free stuff more.
😂 loved the review! Sparta did not seem impressed.❤
Guess Sparta and Gadget prefer real blankets or chasing things across the floor. Ah, well, other cats might love it! I like this video, hope to see more reviews in the future!
My ferrets would love it!!!
Yes, I like this kind of thing. I have wasted SOO much money on cat toys they won’t play with. Thanks!
Please tell me where you got your picture behind the couch; I love it!
i missed the mean kitty videos... rip Loki you will never be replaced bbyboy
Mean kitty sees it
*Yeah I'm out
😂😂😂
This video has been up for an entire day and the top comment is NOT about the Loki pillow. That is a tragedy!
LOL oh my gosh do some more weird cat products please that was interesting I want to see what they do
I love these little cat ratings!
Interesting product. I tend to agree with you in that, yes, my kitties (11 adopted/rescued) would like it, but the novelty would wear off quickly. Good review! Thanks! ♥️♥️🐾🐾
So glad you reviewed this as my three love to play in blankets ECT and I saw this and thought they would but I wasn't 100% .
I probably would have bought this if I had a cat. LOL It looks awesome.
Cory cleary you have never seen Kitten Academy - it's a HUGE HUGE hit with kittens about 2-6 mos old - they have a very fun time.
Why do you have to go... 😭
Sooooo well done, cat walk in front. Great quality viewing. You need to be on mainstream tv., your own movie, yes, yes, yes.
Part of the idea of the ripple rug is you're supposed to put toys where they can reach through the holes and "hunt" them.
I want to play with your kitties. They are so adorable.
Finally a kitty video!! 😁
I love u Sparta ❤️
Fun video Cory!
More cat product reviews, please. Thank you! ☺
Cool
Train incoming 😺
Haha!
Is this going to turn into a series? I like this series for some reason. Get something more ridiculous I’d like to see what the cats do with it
Have just found your channel, subbed & now working through your videos. I think my kitten would love this and I could make one that looks a bit nicer on our floorboards 🤔
Yes do more kitty product reviews 😃
Cats play with things much more if you interact with them and the toy. Make it interesting for the cats to want to go check it out. That's how I get my cats to play with new toys.
Maybe if rubbed with catnip or had a moveable toy to entice them. Maybe do three products in one vid?
Did you try playing with the cats using the carpet? There's a lot of potential for pulling string through or snacks and giving them incentive to go inside.
