I had one of these scratching post for about 10 years. No kidding. It had only a few strings sticking out of it. But I would just clip them off. I finally threw it away for a square one just for change for the cats.

Pros: very useful and last forever

Cons: none

We have a few of these at our shelter and the cats love them. They can get in the cubbyholes and take a nice nap. It is also great to play hide-n-seek in so you can sneak attack your friend.

Pros: comfy, can get in different sizes, cats love them

Cons: can be hard to clean if cat is sick on it, but so is carpet

My cat loves her kitty condo! This is by far her favorite place to sleep - she loves to curl up on the top. Occasionaly she will play inside, but mostly she uses it as a nice cat perch bed.

Pros: Cat loves it

Cons: somewhat of a pain to clean

When we were fostering the little guys would play inside it. But it is tippy for adults if they jump too energetically. It is a good height for someone to sit and look out a window.

Pros: none

Cons: none

I've never seen an adult cat in the top section, just the bottom. They sleep on top of this, and sometimes hide out in the bottom. When we had kittens, they were all over this

Pros: hideout

Cons: none
