Review on 🐱 Enhance Your Cat's Playtime with Vesper Cat Furniture Play Center by Amy Thomas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cool design but definitely not fun - UPDATED

I love the design of this play scratching post. But my cats are against it. In fact, her version deserves the utmost trust. Assembly was easy and quick. Done in less than 10 minutes. I put it in the middle of the living room where there are a lot of cats. One of the cats stared at him. The other cat stared at him. Nobody came. I helpfully grabbed the viewer and threw him onto the toy. The cat left in silent protest. I tried again with another cat. And another quick exit. Finally, the cat did me a favor by examining the toy. Then he left without interest. Well, sometimes cats need time to get used to new things. So I left the device in a high traffic area and waited patiently for 2 days. Nothing. So I sprinkled some catnip on the back. Success! Two cats (out of five) are now showing interest in him. The catnip has run out. Cats ignore the toy again. 3 days pass. The cat can be seen arching its back without prompting or bribery. Are they finally warmed up? No, it was an isolated case. A week after assembly, the cats (all five) showed complete indifference to this device. Please note that cats were playing in the empty box next to the device just a few hours after it was set up. I will continue to hope that they will like it in the end. I am also currently looking for regular scratching posts that my cats have been proven to like. UPDATE 10/14/16: A few weeks after writing this review, cats finally started using this thing as a scratching post. Several cats have been observed sharpening their deadly claws on their backs. The front appears to be unused. I added a star to my rating.

Pros
  • Soft cat bed and cat scratch mat with adhesive tape for easy replacement; perfect for your kitty to play and relax
Cons
  • fade
