I am very happy with Scratch Post.

Bought this for a feral kitten (about 4 months old). The kitten is now eight months old and still fussing. She especially likes this basket. Unfortunately, it more than doubles in size, making something as big as this a tipping hazard. However, for some reason the wall anchors are attached to the underside of the first floor (just above the hammock area). If something is tall, the anchor should be at the top. Another clue is that now that she's grown taller, she can't fully extend when scratching because of the sisal scratching posts. However, they're perfectly positioned for her Crazy Zoomies when she's climbing around.

One piece was torn and I decided to glue it because my cat was already excited when I noticed it and I would be sad to put it back :/ The rest is fine and glued on easily , tearing a small point.

Overall, this scratcher post is nice and sturdy, and my cats use it a lot. The problem is this: when my other (older) cat is trying to jump onto the first platform, my kitten is chasing her. Her leg got stuck in the hammock, which was attached to the bottom of the first platform. She was extremely claustrophobic and started complaining loudly. She also tried to run away angrily, but to no avail. My friend and I rushed over to help. I grabbed her entire body while advising my friend to focus on releasing her legs. At the start of that 10-15 second utter mess, Mindel (the cat) bit my girlfriend's hand, scratched my arm/chest, and pissed on my leg. Her legs seemed to hang limply when we tried to free her. Apparently I have terrible thoughts/plans in mind in case she breaks her leg. Fortunately, her legs were freed and she escaped. She got under the bed and came out after a while. Your legs are fine. Our other cat was very scared for a while because he had never heard his sister in such pain before. I removed the hammock from the tree and threw that horrible thing away. Mindel hadn't been near the scratch for a week. I wonder if she will use it again. I'm glad my wife and I were home when this happened. This story may have a darker ending. I ask anyone who buys this scratcher post not to use a hammock.

It's a bit of a chore to put the pieces of the house together, but once it's put together, it's not bad! It is very sturdy and my daughter and her kitty love it!
