Diogenes Scratching Barrel - XL

Bought this as a scratching post but my two never use if for scratching but love to sit on the top and look out of the window. They don't seem too keen on the lower levels. Bought 6 months ago and looks as good as new, but that's because they don't tend to scratch it I guess.Quite large so be sure you have the space for it!

Our two 8 month old cats love their scratching barrel. More for sleeping in/on than scratching but they now spend most evenings up their watching what we're up to. V. stable and less obtrusive than some cat trees. Only down is that the dangling fluffy balls in the windows haven't lasted long. One was pulled off completely the other had the furry cover pulled off exposing a bell hanging on elastic so cut it off as could have been swallowing. Third (bottom window) is still attached for now!

Unfortunately, this is just my opinion, not my cat’s :( It’s sturdy, has plenty of space for scratching claws, and the little hideouts are interesting for play, but sadly, I don’t think my cat has shown interest in it more than five times since I bought it last October. It’s a shame, because it looks perfect. I’ll probably donate it to a family with more kittens—maybe it will be more interesting for little ones :)
