Being a new cat owner, I wasn't sure what my cat would need or want. Boy, did I knock one out of the park with this purchase. She LOVES it! She sleeps in the little house and plays, climbs, and sharpens her nails constantly. Plus, it's an excellent way for her to escape the persistent shih tzu that constantly aggravates her. Also, the space it requires is minimal so I can put it almost anywhere. I would highly recommend this product!
