I’m not sure why but my cat extra loves these. Like more than I do I’m pretty sure. They’re really nicely made, decent sizes and pleasing to the eyes. The fact that you get 3 is also nice so you can place them throughout the house and kind of tie things together in terms of décor. These do have a bit of a smell to them when you first get them but it seems that these are made with real materials so that is to be expected. It also does ware off in time so I would just suggest airing them out for a week or so before using if that does bother you.
