I never thought I'd be one to own a cat tree, but the contemporary look of this one made me change my mind, and I'm so glad I did. Our little kitten absolutely LOVES this cat tree and if she's not climbing all over it, or using it as a scratching post, you can find her at the top taking a little cat nap. She occasionally plays in the bottom, but mostly just sleeps on the top. I've seen others complain that the hanging feather came off right away, but that hasn't been the case for us. Overall this is the best purchase I've made for her and the fact that it's not a complete eyesore is a total plus!
