I chose this tower for its head-to-toe scratching rope on all the posts, after my cat destroyed her first lower quality tower within a couple of months. I can tell this one is going to last years, based on its build and stability. She loves laying in the house and the different levels gives her new challenges! My only complaint is that she doesn’t like going in the hammock because it swings too much when she steps in it. Otherwise, it’s perfect!
