I'm not joking my cat loves this condo. What I like about it is that it is attractive and you dont have to feel strange about having it in view of visitors. We keep ours in our living room and the cat is either napping on it or playing with it. The quality is much better than I anticipated. It took a couple of days for my cat to figure it out, but now I would say its undoubtedly worth the investment...however this costs much less than lesser condos in pet and farm supply stores.
