It didn’t take very long to put it together. While I was putting it together, my cats were very interested in it and started getting on it before I even finished it. Angel has decided it’s a favorite place to nap. ( I also put a little bit of cat nip on it). I am hoping that this will distract the cats from the Christmas tree when I put it up. But the cats love it with or without cat nip. It’s definitely worth the money.I recommend it to anyone who has multiple cats.
