Diogenes Scratching Barrel - XL

Really sturdy and well made. The cats seem to enjoy taking a run up to scratch it and they can certainly have a good stretch against it. The top cushioned area is very popular. Our cats haven't shown much interest in the cave or lower levels yet but these are handy places to store their other toys. Well worth the money. Looks nice around the home too.

now i'm not the kind of guy that buys this kind of stuff too often but thought it might be fun for our newest recruits Little Ben and Oscar ... boy was i right ! we have 6 cats and since the barrel came it has had constant attention even from the oldies (Pig and Jess are now 15) even wild cat Duke has made it his guilty pleasure !

Very poor quality, after about half a year the cushion is torn, the fur around the window is damaged, the little balls start falling off after about 2 weeks, the rest holds up, but overall it looks pretty bad.

Aesthetic, takes up little space but offers a great surface for our cat's claws.

This scratching post is amazing, my big cats absolutely love it.

Unfortunately, this is just my opinion, not my cat’s :( It’s sturdy, has plenty of space for scratching claws, and the little hideouts are interesting for play, but sadly, I don’t think my cat has shown interest in it more than five times since I bought it last October. It’s a shame, because it looks perfect. I’ll probably donate it to a family with more kittens—maybe it will be more interesting for little ones :)

Very good product! She was hesitant at first but now she happily jumps up when I’m working (placed next to my desk). I’ll probably get another one for the kitchen.
