Review on ๐Ÿฑ Refined Feline Metropolitan Cat Condo: Modern Furniture for Multiple Cats with Stepped Platforms by Jessica Burns

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Replacing the pads with scratch pads made it perfect for my older cats

I'm so glad I decided to invest in these for my two older cats (they will be 15 in 3 months). My only issue is that the pillows were too unstable for them - hence the 4 stars. I've ordered replacement scratch pads directly from the company to replace them and their willingness to try it has changed a lot. Also, they understand what scratches are, so the replacement will help attract them. (It would be great if the company offered a choice of rug or pillow when ordering!) I had to coax them with food but they are starting to use it themselves. Several reviews have complained that it's not very tall, especially if you live in an apartment with high ceilings, but I have two large bookshelves that my cats like to climb on and can't reach on their own, and I have in them seen the answer to this question. In addition to exercise, they will climb up and down. As you can see from the video/photo they were a bit confused about how to go up and down - they kept trying to climb from the outside instead of going through the shelves. I again used the fodder in my hand to lure them in the right direction until they started looking for it themselves. (Sorry for the shaky video! It's accelerated 10x to give you an idea of how they use it.)

Pros
