My cat loves sitting on the perch and looking out the window. She even uses the scratching post. Ive never had a cat actually use a post that l've bought, so its very nice. So glad that she likes it. It was very easy to put together, is space saving, and isnt ugly like many cat trees are. It flows nicely with a room. Love that it has washable pads so it wont become stinky or flea infested. Very pleased, l would definitely recommend it. Not for large cats though. Best for petite cats and kittens. :)
