Fight card

Your cat vs. The Roo

Shows on your order confirmation. Just for fun.
Will claws get through the sleeve?

It's 22 inches long with three layers, so normal play scratches and bunny kicks land on padding. No fabric is bite-proof, so if your cat bites hard, keep sessions short.

Does it fit my arm?

It's one size. Your fingers work the head and both gloves, and the sleeve slides over most adult forearms.

What's in the box
  • The Roo, with its 22-inch padded sleeve
  • 3 catnip pouches, already inside
  • 2 spare catnip pouches
  • A treat pocket on the belly

Tag Team and Championship packs get all of this for each Roo.

Where the bites go now

The Roo won't make your cat play nicer. It gives the claws and kicks somewhere better to land.

  • Claws hooked in your wrist
  • You yank your hand away
  • Your hands start to look like toys

  • Kicks land on three layers of padding
  • You can keep playing
  • Bare hands stay off-limits

How to play

  1. Put it on

    Slide your hand into the 22-inch sleeve. Your fingers work the Roo's head and both boxing gloves.

  2. Wiggle, then back off

    Tap the floor, wiggle the gloves, then pull back a little. Something that moves away is hard for a cat to ignore.

  3. Let them win

    Let them grab, bite, bunny-kick and pin it. When they flop over, put the Roo away until next time.

Why bother playing rough?

It's how cats play

Kittens learn by wrestling their littermates. The Roo lets your cat wrestle with you, while your arm stays inside the padding.

Layers between you and the claws

Soft outer fabric, quilted padding and a breathable lining, the full 22 inches.

10 min

Before bed, not at 3am

A short session in the evening lets your cat stalk, pounce and grab while you're still awake to enjoy it.

My cat ignores toys. Will this work?

A toy you move is a lot harder to ignore than one lying on the floor, and the catnip helps. Some cats would rather cuddle the Roo than wrestle it. We count that as a win too.

Won't play-fighting teach my cat to bite hands?

The idea is a simple rule your cat can learn: rough play is for the Roo, and bare hands are never a toy. Stick to it, and put the Roo away when playtime ends.

How long does shipping take?

Orders leave our warehouse in 1 to 3 business days and usually arrive 3 to 15 business days after you order. Shipping is free everywhere, and you get a tracking link by email.

Do you ship outside the US?

Not yet. We ship to all 50 US states, free, with tracking.

Can I send it as a gift?

Yes. Enter their address at checkout and it ships straight to them. The Tag Team pack gives you one to keep and one to give.

What's your returns policy?

All sales are final. If your Roo arrives damaged or defective, or your package is lost in transit, email us within 14 days of delivery and we'll send a replacement.

How do I clean it?

Take out the catnip pouches, spot-clean the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap, and let it air-dry.

Any safety tips?

Stay with your cat while they play with it, put the Roo away afterward, and replace it if the fabric tears. It's a toy for playing together, not one to leave lying around.
