THE RIPPLE RUG GUIDE

 ~ HERE’S WHY BOTH YOU & YOUR FUR-BALL WILL LOVE THE RIPPLE RUG ~

Save Your Furniture

Cats love the texture of the Ripple Rug’s special needle-punch carpet design, making your sofa a less-desirable scratching post. Your fur baby can spend excess energy playing in the rug and not climbing up your curtains. When tired, your little one happily naps on or inside the Ripple Rug – saving you time vacuuming fur-covered couches.

On-The-Go

The Ripple Rug folds away for quick storage, (when guests come to visit), and is easy-to-pack for convenient traveling.
While away from home, the Ripple Rug provides your pet with a safe and familiar place to play, scratch and sleep.

Be Good (To The Planet)

The Ripple Rug is environmentally friendly. The carpet is made using 100% recycled materials. Each Ripple Rug keeps 24 plastic bottles out of the landfill or floating in the ocean. The Ripple Rug is easy-to-clean, only soap and water needed – no harsh detergents are necessary.

Scratching and Territory-Bounding:

Supports mental well-being and helps burn calories = happy + trim kitty

Cats love the texture of the special needle-punch carpet design.

Hunting, Stalking, Pouncing and Hiding:

Satisfies primal urges and teaches dexterity = entertained + exercised kitty

Cats instinctively enjoy ripple tunnels and peep-holes.

Cleaning and Grooming:

Healthy cats are clean cats = clean nails + beautiful soft coat

Cat’s love the safety of the ripples to groom at their own sweet pace. They also love stretching and rolling around, leaving fur on the carpet and not your sofa.

Socializing:

Providing a safe environment to play with others = less scratches on your hand

Cats love when you scratch the carpet fibers with your fingers – they’re inside and you’re outside, never the twain (claw) shall meet.

Resting & Recuperation:

Defensible hidey-hole = safe place to nap, sleep and recover

The Ripple Rug helps any cat feel safe. Cats enjoy the privacy and seclusion offered by the sanctuary of the Ripple Rug. Your cat can sleep inside or even flop down onto the carpet, making a ‘nest’ to cradle themselves.

Training:

A Consistent Cat-Territory Area For Positive Behavior Reinforcement

When your kitty feels relaxed and safe they are more open to accept difficult interactions such as brushing and nail-trimming.

EVEN YOUR CAT WOULD BUY ONE!

(especially if they knew how to use ‘one-click’ ordering).

Cosy-4-Cats: Loved by the fur-balls because they sleep, snuggle in or lounge on top of the Ripples.

Groom-errific: It’s a great spot for your kitty to lick and hold their yoga positions.

Keep-em Guessing: Reshape it anytime, providing your cat a new play space every day.

Never The Same Twice: ‘Lift and release’ the touch-points – so simple, you can easily create new shapes on a whim.

Cats In Control: Change it daily, or leave it alone and watch your cat reshape it. Yoda (our cat), loves to ‘plonk-down’ and make nests on the ‘mounds’.

Peakaboo: Dive in, dive out; bigger holes resemble tunnels and hideouts. Poke-the-paw in the little holes, is your cat’s new favorite game.

Natural Hunting Behavior:  Whether your cat is hiding inside, or stalking you, don’t be surprised if they jump out to tap your leg as you walk by!

A Natural Insulator: Believe it or not, the non-slip rubber bottom is insulated (R-3 rating). MeWOW it provides a warm, cozy bed (from the cold floor),  that also deadens sound too.

BTW – The Ripple Rug has several US Patents # 10,070,623 | 10,334,824 | 10,701,898 | 11,730,143

WHAT IS THE RIPPLE RUG?

 ~ SAFETY FEATURES ~

In brief – that’s Yoda in the picture below, hanging out on a Ripple Rug back in the day (2015). (In fact we’ve come a long way since then, offering new colors and designs)! At any rate, there are so many rugs scattered across our living-room floor, and Yoda happily goes and plonks herself from one onto the next. The point being – we know she’s safe.

SAFETY FEATURES:

SAFETY SLITS – Basically allows for expansion of hole. Current size based on average 10lb domestic cat. (In any case, if your cat weighs more than an average domestic cat, the slits may be cut with sharp scissors to accommodate weightier breeds).

NON-TOXIC CARPET – Due to the fact that it’s made from PET post-consumer recycled plastic bottles (e.g. water, soda bottles), the polyester fiber is non-toxic and hypoallergenic. Therefore, if your cat decides to chew the carpet, (as ours kitties have at some point), the polyester isn’t bad.

NON-SLIP COATING – Firstly, the non-toxic rubber coating prevents the rug from slipping when cats pounce on the rug. (We’ve all seen cats dive across a room and go crashing into the furniture because they just can’t brake in time – not with this rug). Secondly, Fun Fact: The latex in the non-slip coating is the same as that used in surgeons’ gloves.

TOUCH-POINT RELEASE – In any case where the hook-tape takes a firm grip of the carpet, while your fur-ball rolls inside your rug, (and decides to struggle), fear not, the Touch-Points are calibrated to release.

NO STRINGS CARPET DESIGN – More importantly, the special carpet ribbed needle-punch construction is designed not to fray into long carpet strings. That means no stray threads to chew on. (Therefore, even if you decide to cut the carpet with sharp scissors, the carpet doesn’t produce little crumbs/bobbles).

 ~ BEWARE OF COPY-CATS (AKA – COUNTERFEITERS) ~

Beware of copycats selling FAKE Ripple Rugs (many use Facebook/Instagram ads to lure you). In essence, the ‘fakers’ are using our pictures, videos and marketing to sell cheaply-made imitations. To note: fakes may be dangerous for your fur-baby. In several instances, nasty rats have taken payment and credit card details from unsuspecting buyers. Would you believe, sometimes without ever shipping a product?!

In any case, if you do see fake ads, please report it to us. Provided that you are the first to report a fake-ad (that we’ve not already seen), you’ll receive a free Ripple Rug from us. That is a thank you for helping us protect our US Invention from counterfeiters.

WE NO LONGER SELL ON AMAZON.COM

On account of various rules (that will kill many small businesses), plus the difficult-nature of enforcing take-downs, we are no longer selling on Amazon. Moreover, anyone claiming to sell ‘Ripple Rugs’ on Amazon, (anywhere in the world) are knock-offs. To summarize, beware of dangerous and cheap counterfeits, (from both small and multi-national companies).

 ~ PRODUCT PERFORMANCE – PUT THROUGH ITS PACES ~

SEAL_of_QUALITY

PRODUCT PERFORMANCE

In truth, we know that your fur-baby plays a significant role in your life. Indeed, our cats (Queen) Yoda & (His Highness) Spock are important to us (especially since they rule the house). What’s more, we want to ensure that anything our cats come into contact with is safe. Also, we want to make sure that any toy can help enrich their environment. (That includes the Ripple Rug). For this reason, we’ve set up some ‘product quality’ criteria, to make sure that the Ripple Rug is a safe environment for your pet.

With this in mind, our product materials have been put through their paces. In essence, we worked closely with a professional independent testing laboratory, to ensure that the Ripple Rug withstands a range of destructive cat behaviors.

To that end, we’ve put together a list of certified tests successfully attained in a controlled environment…
