Review on PETIQUE Cat Villa Cardboard Scratcher Tower, Modern Indoor/Outdoor Cat House Furniture, Planet-Friendly Playground For Cats & Small Dogs by Michael Maes

I have two teenagers and I made them assemble it. They had some problems, but I don't know that it's because this is difficult to assemble. I think it's because my kids didn't read the directions. I am owned by 4 cats, and all 4 of them immediately liked it and took an interest in it. Unfortunately, one of my kitties decided this was the most valued item in the house, and she bullied the other cats away from it, so it's become her personal palace, and apparently no other cats are allowed to use it. That's not the fault of the manufacturer, though. In fact, I might buy a second one to see if the other kitties in the house can use that one. It's pretty sturdy for cardboard. I like the scratching vertical scratching areas on the sides. I've had it for about a month, and I expect it will last quite a while. Eventually, the kitties will scratch it enough that it will need to be replaced, but my guess is that it will last about a year, depending, of course, how much scratching it gets. I'm impressed with it.
