Our cat is an indoor cat, though very much a wild, playful one. She has been putting the Cat Tree to use perfectly. She immediately took to it. She climbs on it, rests on it, and the best thing about this Cat Tree is its rope-wound scratching post pillars. Before we got the Cat Tree, our cat would constantly scratch on the carpet (even though she already had two scratching posts). Now, though, she loves to scratch and chew on these rope-scratching-posts, and it is definitely saving our furniture and carpet. A perfect all-in-one piece of furniture for any cat!
