Review on 🐱 Stylish and Durable MidWest Cat Tree with Removable Bed and Sisal Fabric Scratching Posts for Easy Cleaning - Includes 1-Year Manufacturer's Warranty by James Newbill

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not the best design but workable once assembled

This tree is actually a raised bed with a scratching post and a base; I noticed that reviews are currently mixed with other cat furniture. I wasn't happy with how it fitted together. I had to make a hole in the fabric on the base. Then after tightening the top I noticed that the screw lock on top had worked enough to feel it through the pillow even with it installed. The cushion requires some work to install and tighten; I had to pull down the 2 ends of the rope to tighten it. Then evenly pull the gathered ends of the fabric around the round point where the rope is tightened until it is tight enough to attach to the point. Looks like it could be checked again to be tighter after the cat uses it. The ends of the rope will be hidden inside after tying to prevent cats from playing with it. I think a quick zip install and remove would come in handy here. A little extra work is required each time it is removed for cleaning. Minor issues that eventually go unnoticed unless you feel the pad in the middle; It is likely that the cat will not notice that the raised lump is in the center and has softened. I'm still not sure if my adult cat can trust her outdoors (jumping on a small spinning top). She walked right up to it as I pushed it to my big car tree for her to go through and climb inside. Catnip works great for overcoming inhibitions about trying new things. It hasn't found its place yet, so I thought I should mention it beforehand. Size for an adult cat is another issue. My cat doesn't seem to complain, but she also likes to sleep and rest in different places. I was hoping to get it off the furniture and carpet. But it has a certain benefit. My existing cat tree didn't have a soft sleeper so it was a good idea to try. Just checked; she uses it again. Now all she gets is catnip on this bed. I may revise this review in time when the unknowns and usage are realized.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
