The Scratching Barrel is absolutely amazing. Zebedee, my cat, absolutely loves it. It tall and wide. Perfect for a big boy cat. He's enjoying thw hanging balls and weaving his way inside and on top of it. It's perfect and well worth the money. A brilliant buy.

This is large. I'm happy with the quality cat is happy too. I have a 5kg BSH he can navigate the dens well. Uses it as a scratch post my main reason for buying it and, even climbs it. Quality seems good. It is sturdy and doesn't move when he climbs it.

It usually takes my 7 month old Ragdoll, Bramble, awhile to accept new things. Not this one. He was trying to climb it as I was still unwrapping it. Seems really sturdy- just have to wait and see what time and massive attention from my cat brings.

Very big - my 4 cats LOVE hiding in there & the ball attachments (probably won’t last long though!!) I will be purchasing again for upstairs. I find cat trees usually break & fall apart & you have to put them together but this is just one big barrel it’s perfect don’t need to do anything but stick the bed on top!

My Siberian cat absolutely loves this! She comfortably lays in the top bed and loves the internal cosy ones! And my furniture is thankful for the acres of scratching pads. It takes up so little space and was brilliant value for money!

This Barrel is well worth the money. My boys use it for their claws but also love to curl up and have a catnip in the cosy bed on the top of it!9

Great for smaller spaces, the cats took to it immediately and are very happy. Lots of room for all size cats. Bed on top should be secured properly - why not build it in?

We like it 👌👍

My maine coon loves this! She's a big girl and this XL barrel fits her comfortably. She usually lies on the top so she can look out the window at the same time, leaving the cubbies for our smaller cats. But she can jump up to, and down from, the top perch with ease and with no wobbles. The barrel is very sturdy and good quality too. The fact it's now in the sale I may even consider another if I can sneak it past my other half!

My Wednesday inhabits the penthouse with the roof garden, whilst Haribo is happy taking a nap at groundfloor level . he will however hide his toys in the first floor area.I have had the tower now for 2 years, and it still looks as good as new, good quality make. Cats love it. They ignore any other furniture they previously attacked.

Good quality,very sturdy and fast delivery.

This is much better than the usual tree type scratching posts. It's sturdier and less likely to topple. The scratching material is better than the usual wound rope. I want another!

I have six cats and they absolutely love this for hide & seek and using it to scratch the top comfy cushion is constantly swapped by different cats as they all want to sit there money well spent 😁

My Bengals love this and haven’t stopped hiding in it. Really nice quality and sturdy.

I have 4 cats and they love this like the fact the top bed comes off to wash and it sticks on very well with the Velcro mine hasn’t moved it’s also sturdy enough to be jumped on without tipping will be buying another one soon would highly recommend this item

We had hardly got this out the box when our boys were investigating. Hamish our 7kg Maine Coon went straight into the top compartment while Angus found he could move from the bottom to the middle with ease. Considering the cardboard box it came in is still sitting on the floor while they are in the barrel shoes what a success it is! Only down side.... will need a little more Velcro to keep top bed secure.

With most things I buy, the feline one just looks at it, then at me as if to say 'what the hell did you get that for?' & goes back to using her old/damaged/smelly option. However, finally I have got her something that met with immediate approval; she jumped up onto the top while I had a shower, checked out all of the cubby holes & had a scratch, a few times (it is plenty tall enough). This scratcher is very well made, looks gorgeous & comfy and i'm glad I chose this (out of this or the Natural)

My Max absolutely loves this although he was very wary of the top seat and wouldn't use it so I put a blanket over it and he was up and away! He has plenty of room to nod off and curl up. Worth every penny. 😻

My cats absolutely love this!!! Only thing is the Velcro doesn’t really hold the bed in place so I had to buy more Velcro and sew it on but it’s so amazing I still give it 5 star! Brilliant buy! My cats love it so much!!

I love and so do my boys, wanted something large enough for my two British Shorthairs and this is perfect. Well worth every penny.
