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.

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

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 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐱🐈‍⬛🐱

Highly recommended

Mega cats went for it straight away

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 😅

Makes a sturdy impression and looks good. Our cats took to the scratching barrel straight away.

Very nice scratching barrel

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.

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!

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.

Cats really like this and all the holes and the top bed are regularly occupied. The middle bed has a hole down to the bottom bed, but as this wasn’t much use, I put a piece of thick card over the hole and sene vet bed on top.

Was a bit sceptical. Decided on this barrel because of the passage inside. It’s well-made, doesn’t smell strongly, and stands firmly. My kitten likes to use it for scratching or playing with the dangling pom-poms. They’re still holding up. All in all, very satisfied.

My baby boy loved this scratching barrel, especially the bed at the top which you can remove to wash. It came all in one box which I only had to place the bed at the top and that's it. Amazing thing!

I bought this bin for the balcony, and my little Sammy lies on top of it, watching everything going on outside. Got it absolutely right.

Been in use for 6 months now and still looks as good as new, great quality. Our cats use it a lot. Only the little pom-poms came off early during play.
