When the product arrived my cat fell in love even before it was assembled. The process to put it together probably would have taken 5 minutes, but of course with my cats help it took nearly 20! But we had a blast assembling it. I was worried my cat wouldnt like the product due to the faux foliage being so dense, but I think the fact that no one can see her until she jumps out makes it all the more fun for her. Ive only had it for one day but so far my little house cat is in love with pretending to be a jungle cat!
