Great quality
It's a really sturdy and good quality item! I was debating whether a cat tree or scratch barrel would be best and I'm glad I went with this.
Currently being used my my adult dsh and her five nearly 4 week old kittens, they love it!
The black looks really nice, unfortunately the grey went out of stock and I'm not a fan of beige, yet it fits in well with my house.
Judging by the quality I think it will last years, so a very good investment!

Absolutely recommendable!!!
We got two 8-week-old kittens (their mother had a broken leg). At first, they were scared, then really wild, but the scratching barrel didn’t interest them at all, even with treats. Only after a few play sessions around the barrel did they really take to it, and now they absolutely love it. They can even climb all the way to the top, and the dangling pom-poms are very fascinating to them because they jingle too.

Great scratching barrel
I got the scratching barrel in grey (very stylish), and my two cats took to it straight away. One of them immediately claimed the top spot as a "lookout tower" for herself. And the best part: I didn’t have to assemble anything, just unpack it and – bam! It was ready to go, standing there all set up.

Too small for XXL cats – but perfect for regular cats
Good quality, it's just too small for my Maine Coon... She still squeezes herself in anyway. My average-sized tomcat loves the barrel. I can recommend it.

Great scratching barrel
When I unpacked it, I was already thrilled; I ordered it in black... My British Shorthair (fully grown) immediately jumped on it and thanked me with a meow! Thank you, Zooplus, you’ve gained another customer – the cat litter is great too!

Great scratching barrel
Very large and sturdy scratching barrel. However, I find it negative that the holes are more suited to small cats, the cushion is also very small, and you can't remove it for washing.

Super game and sleep barrel
My little ones are properly arguing over who gets to sleep on the bin today. The little gang is just too cute. It's really sturdy, and the cats took to it straight away. Highly recommend! 🤗👍👌😘

Took a while for my cat to fall in love
At first my cat ignored it and wouldn't go anywhere near it. But after a month of it sitting there unused, she suddenly started playing with it, scratching it, and finally sleeping on it all the time! Now she's always perched on top, surveying her domain.
Very satisfied!

Super Scratch Barrel
This scratching barrel not only looks great, but it's also a fantastic sleeping spot! And the balls at each entrance encourage my two to play and romp around. Excellent value for money!

Very nice toy
Our little one loves using it for romping and playing. The quality is truly fantastic, and visually, it's a real eye-catcher.

Arrived today and immediately accepted
After delivery, the big box was initially more interesting. We used treats to make the new item appealing to the two of them. The younger tomcat is still a bit sceptical. I think our cat has found a new favourite spot from today onwards. The reason for the purchase is the construction of a wall-mounted climbing area, with the barrel serving as a scratching option. I hope the scratching feature will be well received too.

Best Buy for our kittens
Of all the many things we have bought our kittens this is the Best Buy! They LOVE it and use it all the time. Great as a scratching post, beds to sleep in alone or together, a tunnel and tower to launch themselves up & down; a place to jump out and ambush each other. As you can see it provides hours of entertainment for ALL of us 😂😂😂 and it is well built and well priced. Will be getting another one for upstairs.

Fantastic quality
This scratching barrel has massively exceeded my expectations! It's sturdy ,stable, looks good and more importantly my two cats adore it.
Had it five months now and even with rough continual use it looks new.

Our two cats love the scratching barrel, really great for the price. They also go into the tunnel, and the tomcat likes to lie on top :)

Top scratching drum for our RUSSIAN
Good quality, we got it in black. Our two Russians absolutely loved it. Not really for playing, but perfect for sharpening their claws and especially for my tomcat – it's his new favourite spot to sleep up top. Simply brilliant!!!

Lovely bin
The bin was immediately well received and it doesn’t smell chemical but pleasantly of wood.
However, when our cat, with his three kilos, takes a running start, it tips over.
We can’t leave it standing freely without weighing it down at the bottom. Hence, only 4 ****.
