Cats loved it immediately; I put food/water on top and a towel inside and my two cats made themselves comfortable. I would advise using longer screws to attach the steps to the side as one held and the other fell off immediately (easy fix). The wood is very lightweight and could have used a second coat of paint. Were it not for those two minor issues, I would have given a full five stars.

This Cat House is in my master bath giving the kitties a place to lounge as I get ready for work, or a place to go when one wants to get away from the other. Also, putting the food on top of the "rooftop patio," gives a second food placement for two cats who sometimes need privacy and space. The style fits well with my decor and I would not have hesitated to put this in a more visible place if I'd had the room. (The cat on the top is about 10# and the one inside on the towel is 9# if you want to gauge for fit. A smaller towel/pillow, or none at all, would give more room on the bottom.)
