AI-generated summary based on reviews added by customers
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.

Good but wasteful
It would be better if refill scratch pads were provided for these. With my 2 cats the scratch pad wears out but the box is intact. However, As I can’t find the right size of scratch mat, I’m forced to buy the whole thing each time.

Brilliant
My 2 cats love this - we bought one last Christmas and the older one uses it daily the younger one had to wait so I’ll be getting another.

Cats love it even when it's falling down
I bought 2 of these 1 for me and 1 for my mum. I have male cats and my mum females. My cat tiger is loves to jump and it didn't take him long to jump on the roof ripping the holes where the clips hold it together. They can still get to the inside as it held its shape quite well but tiger still thinks the roof is his new bed. My mums cats can't get enough of it and will even argue for control of the inside if there's catnip in it but Carey has made it her home at all other times. A great buy

My girls love these!
I bought 1 each for my cats and with minimal assembly they were ready and both Sok's and Moet were in. They are in constant use and thankfully are of a sturdy make. I put a pet blanket inside to cover the scratch board and they spend their sleep time inside. Such a simple idea which gives a lot of pleasure.
I wish I had bought them sooner, its money well spent.

So cutte!!!!!
My cats love cardboard boxes, but I wrongly assumed they wouldn't bother with this one. They love it, the ingenious spraying of the catnip on the scratching post inside, draws them in and they complete to roll around in it. Looks more attractive than an old cardboard box. Fun and gorgeous, love the print on the side and it looks so much nicer in the home than a tatty old cardboard box.

Excellent
Cats love it and I love it!

Not for my cats
It honestly took me longer to assemble this than it took the cats to demolish it. It looks nice, is a great idea, but not for cats like mine, they are just a pair of vandals and jumped onto to house from the top of their cat tree thus the roof totally buckled. For a well behaved sedate normal cat this would be great but for my two yobs it didn't work.
Not for large cats
My two Norwegian forest kittens totally demolished it in under 10 minutes, it took me longer than that to assemble! The kittens are only just 6 months old so nowhere near full grown, but this house was unable to withstand them jumping on it. Possibly be better for a smaller more sedate cat than my two. On a plus side it looks lovely and had it survived I would have been quite happy to have it in the living room, at least it was cheap enough.

Can't be assembled
It doesn't stay assembled, the plastic screws come out and don't fit, don't buy it.

What more could you want for the price?
Honestly – at this price, you really can’t go wrong. Sure, the house could be improved a bit. But hey, just wrap some parcel tape around it when the little screws stop holding. My cats love the house, even my Maine Coons, and even when the scratching cardboard is completely wrecked, they still love lying in it. No, for €5.99 without any extra discounts, there’s nothing to complain about. I’ve already ordered it several times.

Shame (size of the kennel and scratching post)
It's a shame that it's impossible to accept a scratching post as a replacement for the one that comes with the little house when it gets worn out. I preferred the smaller house for this reason, and also because it takes up less floor space.

My cats love it
Very durable. It sits on the balcony and protects my four-legged friends from the sun. They love lying in it and scratching around. Unfortunately, after almost 2 years, it broke, so now there's a new one.

Super
As mentioned in previous reviews, the plastic 'screws' come out quickly, but nothing that can't be fixed with a bit of tape. My cats love it! Excellent value for money!

Popular cat house with poor plastic feet
Swapped out the plastic tabs for a white cable tie instead, works like a charm.

Little House
Skoda of money. The plastic handles are poor quality and hard to hold, there's a risk of swallowing.

Not sustainable
Pretty poor plastic rivets that don't hold together. The house was broken after 2 days. Definitely cheap but "expensive" if the house doesn't last more than 24 hours.

Love at first sight
Once assembled (the fastening clips are a bit tricky to close), my cat—who usually takes months to get used to something new—went straight in and it instantly became his new favourite spot, even though he already had other similar options. I’d say it was truly love at first sight!

A great choice
Honestly, ever since I bought it, they haven’t stopped using it to play and scratch their claws. My three cats take turns spending the day there—sometimes two of them squeeze in together and play in their new little house 🐱.

My cat loves it and goes in there every day.
It's really great, especially for the price! I actually found it easy to put together, and the snap buttons worked just fine.
And most importantly – my cat loves it!

Poor quality
It lasted only a few hours, the roof collapsed, and the plastic screws flew apart. Even during assembly, I didn't have much faith in it, but its durability still managed to surprise me—unfortunately, not in a positive way.

XL Home Cat House with Scratching Mat
The cat loves it, but unfortunately the mounting with those plastic 'screws' is terrible. If the cat jumps out of the house with a bit more force, the mounting gives way and the whole thing falls apart.

Waste of money
Total disaster. The house fell apart after just one day. It's really hard to put together. Those plastic screws are a joke. They don't fit at all and won't screw in. In the end, everything comes loose and the house tears apart. For this kind of money, the quality is zero. It's unstable. The free one I once got with pellet from Castbest was miles better and lasted for months.

Good value
My cat loved it and it lasted about 1.5 years! Pretty good for a paper toy. I'll buy it again.

Small house
As soon as I set it up, my Tessie took to it right away, scratching her claws on it and then lying down. No more random cardboard boxes lying around!
