Cats adore this playful house, enjoying both the scratching surface and cozy hideaway. However, assembling can be a hassle due to flimsy plastic connectors, leading to concerns about durability and safety. Some cats have managed to dismantle it quickly, raising worries about swallowing parts. Despite these issues, many find it a charming addition, with cats happily lounging and playing, making it a delightful spot for feline fun.

Difficult assembly
When the house is finished, it looks quite nice.
But the assembly... 🙈 It’s not really difficult in itself, but the buttons that hold the house together were a disaster. Trying to snap them together was hard work. Only one button went together easily. With the others, I had to press, press, press. My thumb hurt so much that I had to take a break and continue the next day. I was so relieved when it was finally done.

Was immediately well received ...
All three kitties love the scratching surface. The two big ones even sleep in it.
A clear recommendation from us!

Useless
Didn't even last 5 minutes. My tomcat climbed onto the roof once, and the thing collapsed. Neither of my cats can play with it at all. The screws don’t really hold either.
Better to spend €10 more and get something decent.
If I’m lucky, it’ll last another 3 days and then end up in the bin.

Cat house
Overall, it's actually quite good, but the screws for the plate aren't the best.

Cats love it but the plastic connectors are rubbish.
My cats were excited watching me try to assemble it but their patience ran as thin as mine did with the fiddly plastic connectors that don't connect properly. The bottom ones are also located just far enough in that you can't use standard pliers on them to try to force the connection which added to the frustration.
For the price, I guess it's ok but I would have preferred to have paid a couple of quid more for connectors that do the job.

Worries about plastic connectors
It’s looks lovely. My cats have loved destroying it. However plastic connectors are used to build the product and they pop out easily, which I’ve not been happy about. I’ve had to keep a close eye on my cats with this product as while they have had fun destroying it they have also loved trying to eat the plastic connectors that have fallen out easily. I’m worried they could chock on or swallow them. Would be cautious about this product.

Unfortunately, not so great.
This playhouse unfortunately didn’t go down too well because my furry friend is a bit of a wild one, and the house couldn’t withstand her temperament. I also wasn’t too impressed with the plastic connectors, as my little rascal quickly figured out how to remove them. Perhaps a different type of connection would be more beneficial. The idea of this playhouse isn’t bad, just not suitable for us.

Looks pretty, but breaks quickly
Apart from the fact that the parts didn’t fit together properly, my cat managed to break it in no time at all.
She jumped on it once, and my cat weighs about 4kg (2 years old), and the little house was beyond saving.
Maybe it would be better to reinforce it yourself with thicker cardboard, or only use it for calmer cats who wouldn’t even think of jumping on or over it.

Badly made!
I bought this for my anxious cat so he could hide when feeling scared. Putting it together is easy but the actual plastic pieces that keep it together are dreadful and don’t stay together. It had fell apart numerous times.

Refill needed
Awesome little house fits perfectly in a corner under the stairs giving our cats opportunity for a hide out. Refill pads are needed as it's extremaly wasteful to buy a whole new house each time. I would get a refill every time ordering food.

My kitten loves it
Really cute house, my kitten loves it. He hasn't mastered scratching the inside but is very happy to sit in it when he wants some peace and quite

The Tomcat's Manor
My tomcat loves this house. He plays in it, hides in it, and it's the only one he's accepted so far. He has so much fun with and in the house. I've had the house for over 1.5 years. Since the plastic connectors don't hold very well, I stapled it together, and now it holds up really well. I regularly replace the scratching board.

Only for "lovely" cats 😉
The little house immediately caught the interest of my two. Unfortunately, it only "survived" for one day. Due to intense tussling over the spot, the plastic connectors kept popping out, and after I managed to retrieve a piece from one of the cats' mouths just in time, the little house was disposed of.
