Natural Paradise Scratching Barrel - Primrose L

My cats still enjoy this barrel and the main body has stood the test of time however the basket on top has been a problem. It did not stand up to a stropping cat - it very quickly went to a hole. This could be a problem if your cat is likely to chew the filling. Unfortunately Zooplus don't supply replacement baskets and getting one this size is a problem - may be easier for the larger size barrels. It looks like I'm going to have to make a basket...if my sewing skills are up to it!

I was looking for a duel purpose cat scratcher. Firstly I wanted a tall scratching post for my large cat and a bed for my other cat who likes to hide. Downside for me is that my cats think it's furniture so won't use it as a scratching post. It does look very smart. It's sturdy and well made. Mine isn't like the photo as in the top bed is sewn on so can't be washed,shame,and the middle hole is not a bed it's just a hole. I would still recommend this but think the photos need updating.

It's made of sturdy material and good quality. My cats love this brand of scratchers. I ordered size L, but my cats are big, so XL would have been better.

Unfortunately, after just a few weeks, the first rattle has already come off.

My cats love it

Great and beautiful scratching barrel... the play balls aren't really necessary. If you include them, they should be attached better and more securely... we took them off because our cat tore one down... unfortunately, they were only fixed with staples, so I'm taking off one star for that. Otherwise, everything else is top notch.
