Amazing product
My cats absolutely love this scratching barrell. It sat for one day before it was totally checked out.
It's the perfect cat toy. Bought in November 2024 and still going strong. Well worth the money, and really on a cat's level.

Great bin
This scratching barrel is used daily, mostly the top section. Absolutely brilliant.

Far too small in size L
The scratching barrel in size L might be suitable for small cats, but it's too small for normal, fully grown domestic shorthair cats.
Additionally, it's not particularly stable.
The craftsmanship, however, is very good.

Great
I have had 2 of these for quite a few years now and for the cost they have been value for money. They are both a bit tatty now but have been well used by my cats. I would definitely recommend these 🐈🐈⬛🐈🐈⬛🐱🐈⬛🐱

No comparison to Natural Paradise Primrose
Because the delivery date for the Natural Paradise Primrose scratching barrel in grey kept getting postponed, I started looking for an alternative and thought I had found one with the Diogenes L. Unfortunately, I realised as soon as I unpacked it that the quality wasn’t as good as Natural Paradise. I sent it back straight away and waited until the grey Primrose barrel was back in stock.

Great! Colour nicer than in the photo.
Bigger than expected and immediately accepted by the cat. He’s still a bit scared of climbing up sometimes, but he’s very young and keeps trying things out. He often even sleeps in the lower cave at night! We chose this as a cheaper alternative to the other options here and are absolutely thrilled with how great it is. Also, it’s slightly less yellow than in the photo, which is a very good thing.

The cat likes it.
I got the cat tower here through a discount promotion, and I’m really impressed. My two cats love it. Unfortunately, one of my cats is a bit bigger/heavier and sadly doesn’t fit inside (though he’d probably fit in the XL version). It’s also very sturdy and doesn’t topple over when my cats climb up and down.
Unfortunately, a small hole appeared in the fabric at the top on the third day, but that’s not a big issue for me.

A Favourite Spot
Very sturdy, stable barrel. My two 5-kilo Siamese cats absolutely love this barrel, both as a sleeping spot and for playing. And even though the two can really go wild, the barrel has never tipped over.

Top
I’m completely satisfied with it; it’s sturdy, and my big cat is happy with it too. The cushion on top is removable, so it’s washable, which I think is really great.

Highlight
My cat started playing with the little balls straight away and climbed up the scratching barrel; she was thrilled with it from the very first moment.

Great product
My tomcat, 6 kg, and my cat, 4 kg, absolutely love the scratching barrel, which, by the way, has never tipped over or wobbled. The balls were quickly chewed off (as mentioned in another review), but the barrel with its holes is still highly popular with both of my indoor tigers.
The only downside is that on a black surface, the hairs are very noticeable. So, regular cleaning is a must 😅

Looks good
The barrel makes a good impression and looks great. However, during the first inspection, the first little ball was expertly removed after just five minutes. Curious to see how long the barrel lasts ☺️

My one loves it
My little indoor tiger loves his scratching barrel; he loves lying on it and scratches it thoroughly too. We've had it for 1 1/2 years, and it's still in very good condition.

Wonderful bin
The large package would have been completely sufficient at the beginning. My two cats jumped straight on it. But then, as I unpacked, the box was no longer interesting... it was immediately sniffed, scratched, and claimed. They went wild playing on it. The ladies weigh 5kg and 6kg. The scratching post didn’t topple over. If it does happen in the future, I’ll attach it to the old base from the previous scratching post.
Personally, I find the scratching post much nicer than I expected. A crystal-clear purchase recommendation!

Cosy overnight stay
My two indoor cats, who are just 1.5 years old, quickly figured out that the top cushion can be removed and carried across the house, even stashed under the basement stairs. It must be incredibly comfortable, as I usually find it anywhere but on the barrel. The outer ring of the cushion tore quite quickly. Unfortunately, there’s no replacement available, which is a shame. When one hole is patched up with fabric, it tears open again somewhere else, and the filling starts spilling out.

Super
We’ve got the big XL one, and I wanted to get them another one since there are five of them and they often argue :D Due to lack of space, I decided to go for the L size – I couldn’t even unpack it quickly enough before it was immediately claimed. So, my five little troublemakers are thrilled, and that makes me happy too.
