90 reviews forXL Cat House with Scratching Pad Winter Edition

Always gladly received. Quick to assemble and a lovely retreat for the indoor cats.

The house is nice and spacious, ideal for Coonies, but it’s not that easy to assemble. The plastic parts (unfortunately made of plastic) don’t fit together perfectly.

Literally got this delivered a hour ago. It's broken already. I know its only cardboard but why stock something that's done within a hour?

I bought the house for a dwarf rabbit, as she loves shredding cardboard boxes. She seems to really like it. I would buy it again anytime.

I loved this house as did my two boys.Unfortunately they demolished it in no time.They started jumping on the roof when one was inside.Probably not ideal for boisterous cats like mine.I kept putting it together again but they soon flattened it.They just sat sadly around the flat box.However good news I just prop it up and they can still play in with flat roof

I loved this novelty house as did my two boys.They went in straight away too.I regret not taking photos.I went to the kitchen and five minutes later they had destroyed it by jumping on to the roof .I have put it together a few times but they keep jumping on the roof great fun but better for a quiet cat perhaps

My Coony has loved her new scratching hut from the very first second! Assembly was pretty simple. Absolutely recommend it.

For cats, this is a great idea and really looks good – though it does take a bit of getting used to, which I think is the case with anything new.

Very nice house, was also easy to assemble. Out of my 4 cats, 2 use it constantly. And one of the two seems to secretly work for a demolition company, as she keeps sitting on the roof over and over again until it gave in :D But even with the roof pushed down, they still crawl inside and play in it.

Quick and easy to set up. Absolutely fine for the price. I would order it again.

My cats loved the house! Unfortunately, it broke after just 5 days. The plastic connectors come apart too quickly, posing a choking hazard. The roof also collapsed several times for me. Such a shame, because the idea itself is great!

A very positive aspect is the sturdy design of the home. The simple assembly is manageable even for inexperienced people. I don’t really have anything negative to say about the scratching board either. The only issue is getting a replacement board. It would be great if Zooplus could include it in their product range.

Despite having plenty of scratching posts, she also uses this scratching house. But she also lies down and sleeps inside, as she seems to think we don’t know she’s hiding there *lol*

My tomcat loves lying in the little house. It's also suitable for large cats. However, I can imagine the house would quickly get flattened if he were to jump on the roof. As a resting spot and for occasional scratching, it's very nice.

I have two tomcats (brothers). They loved the house. Unfortunately, it collapsed at the first jump onto the roof. When trying to fix it, the connecting plugs came loose or tore out of the cardboard. With a heavy heart, I had to dispose of it. I’ll order it one more time and take into account the tips about gluing the plastic parts.

We’ve been using the houses as cave-like sleeping spots on top of the cupboards and on the catwalk for several years now. The unfortunately dangerous plastic connectors are always generously covered with transparent packing tape, and all corners and the base are stabilised with it as well. The scratching mat is covered with a cushion (without catnip). This way, the sleeping houses for our three Norwegians last for years.

The item isn’t even fully unpacked yet, and Balou is already scratching away at the scratching board. The catnip is so good that he immediately starts playing. Now he’s moved into his finished little house (see proof photo "Balou in his terraced housing estate"). It would be absolutely brilliant if the scratching board could be ordered separately, but you can’t have everything.

Seems cheap, but breaks too quickly. A real shame, actually, as I wasn’t even expecting it to last long—I like swapping out toys, and I thought cardboard was a relatively eco-friendly option. If a cat jumps on the roof, the house completely collapses in on itself. Some plastic dowels pop out of the cardboard in the process. In other places, the cardboard bends so awkwardly that the house can’t be put back together afterwards.

I was looking for a pretty scratching pad. My cats liked the house and immediately claimed it. Unfortunately, I had to take it away after two days because the connecting parts are small and made of plastic. My cat kept nibbling on them and detached them from the cardboard – that’s too dangerous for me. One piece is still missing :-( The house itself is very nice, and if it gets redesigned, I would buy it again straight away.

Our tomcat loves the house as a retreat but also likes to go inside to scratch... we'll definitely buy it again as soon as the need arises!
