    I've got the same one, it's fantastic!

    Tip - it can be a bugger to clean fur off the top perches. I battled for months with hoover attachments and such like, the best thing is a cat/dog paddle brush.

    Hope your fur baby enjoys it as much as mine does!

    Please just be very careful of the "dangles" even if they are only slightly elasticated,our very first cat tree had just the one with hardly any give in it & always felt with the size of the cats it would never be a problem,very wrong,luckily was at home & heard one of the other cats getting upset & when I went in it was wrapped round the throat of a big adult boy,he was pulling against it which obviously was pulling it tighter but no way was it going to give,had to pull tree onto the side to be able to even stand a chance of releasing him.... frightened me more than him though as while it was laying there he went back & started playing with it again but that was only for the length of time it took me to get the scissors........
    Does look a super fun tree though,photos of spoilt babe playing on it please....x

    I groom my cat weekly and pretty much no hair comes off of him, could be different in the summer months but so far, he has barely molted (could be his age too)

    Yup, I am thinking of cutting the toys off too, it will be in my bedroom but rather be safe then sorry. He's completely demolished normal cat toys we bought him and he's ripped a fair few holes in a thick rope toy made for dogs. He's an incredibly strong cat for his age.

    We have the exact same one and also removed all the "danglies" - just too dangerous with 'Kota, who tends to get in big trouble with things on strings (if not supervised). We've had it for 3 years, and it has held up quite well. We've had to replace the rope on a couple of the poles, but that is minimal! You will love it!

    Great to see such good feedback for the item with current/old owners of the product!


    Yeah my cat is a bit of a dare-devil... he'll happily dangle over the side of stair banisters that has a 3ft drop if he did fall. He's not the most graceful of landers, specially when I throw a toy down the stairs, he runs down them a bit too fast and it's like someone ice skating for the first time hahaha

    Agree - one of those wrapped around one of our old moggies legs. Luckily we were there but had a bit of job trying to cut her free as she struggled so much x

    Am going to cut the dangles off as soon as it comes, just to be on the safe side. Might give him the mice though, he will end up throwing it around for a while then lose them.

    Hey guys,

    It was delivered today, not long finished setting it up and Sampson went potty over it. He was purring his heart out and doing acrobats haha, we took off the hanging mice as soon as we opened the box, made them safer to play with and he's been enjoying running around the house batting them.

    Here is a sleepy Sampson on one of the platforms.
