Mica Scratching Post, Light Gray-Greige

Had I listened to some of the reviews I never would have purchased this! So glad I didn't. My kitten loves this. It is sturdy, she is on it all the time. She sleeps on it, watches out the window, uses the scratch posts, and leaves my furniture alone. She only weighs 4 pound now, but I am sure that it will hold her when she is fully grown. I put it on a small table in front of the window and made two pieces of duct tape into double sided tape to keep it from sliding and it is her favorite place in the house. The string on the pom pom was very flimsy and broke right away, however I just put a heavier piece of string on it and stapled it (heavy duty staple) to the platform. I am totally pleased with this product. I am attaching 2 photos to give you an idea of the size.

Looks very nice too short for the cat!

I'd give this more like a 4.5 for the following reasons. I priced these types of items from local pet stores and ouch! I'm not the kind of person who wants cat "furniture" in her home long term once our indoor kitten graduates to an indoor/outdoor life style.So the entry point price of these climbers at $60-70 seemed steep. This item was just the ticket for our needs. The ONLY problem with it was the dangling toy/puff came off on day one. We however were able to affiv a jingle ball toy we had to the string and our kitten was happy. Otherwise seems very sturdy. Over all happy with this at the price point and in relation to our temporary needs.

I purchased two of these for my rescue kittens. While assembling the first one, the screw to connect the top platform to the post popped off. There is no way to repair this and the structure can not be assembled without it so I requested a refund. I assembled the second one and put it in the playpen with my very young kittens. They absolutely loved it. After less than a month of use, the screw on this one popped off as well and the top platform tumbled down along with my two-month old kitten. The scratching post was lightly used by kittens weighing no more than two pounds. I can't imagine how quickly this product would break with a larger cat using it!!! Such poor quality is inexcusable, especially when it can cause harm to a pet. Unfortunately, this incident happened 9 days after the 30 day return period so I can not get a refund. Don't make the same mistake I did. If you care about your cats, be careful to only buy top quality products that don't pose harm to your beloved pets!

I've bought so many 1-seat cat trees over the years, and this one has been the biggest hit for hanging out in. My senior cat loves it. I just bought a second one because it was on sale. (Both I bought when on sale.) Takes almost no time at all to put together, and is fairly sturdy. Not sure a big heavy cat would work with this, and it might be unsteady; but a smaller full-size cat, like mine, is fine.

It’s nicely made but it is really small. My cat will squeeze into it but it’s really intended for a kitten I think.

Finally something my cat likes

It does its purpose and when the twine gets destroyed, I plan to wrap it myself with new twine
