Catit Vesper Base

I got this cat tree to replace a carpeted one that I had had for over 13 years. The carpet on that one was so dingy I decided it was time to replace it and get an upgrade. I knew I wanted one that was easier to clean and preferably wood. When I found this one I fell in love with it.I love everything about this cat tree especially that it is all wood, doesn't have any carpeting, and has removable washable memory foam like pads. My cats were so interested in it while I was putting it together and when I finished it they were both in and on it. It is approved by both of my cats and they get great use out of it. The quality of the product from the sisal to the sisal pads to the memory foam-like removable washable pads to the wood itself is top notch. I had been looking at it for about a week before I purchased it and I'm glad I waited because the price dropped down to $76.94. As soon as it did I jumped on it and purchased it. It's hands down worth the price. It's a nice height...not too tall and not short and it was so easy to put together. I started off using the item that they give you to put it together, but I ended up using my own tools. You don't need tools, but I found using tools (especially powered ones) made the setup go a lot faster and was easier. The instructions are really easy to follow too. It didn't take that long for me to put it together.I totally recommend purchasing this cat tree.

We wanted a cat condo that wasn't covered in carpet because we wanted something that looked more like furniture and wasn't a magnet for dander and hair. While $100 is a bit much, it is well worth it! Everyone who has walked into our house didn't even realize it was in the corner of our living room until we pointed it out. It was easily put together and our cat loves it! It's easy to wipe down and the pads inside the cube and on the different platforms are held down with velcro, so they are also easy to just throw in the wash. The cat uses the scratching posts for scratching and climbing up. The hanging toy with the three balls are made of a wood-like material like wicker or sisal. She plays with them constantly, only thing is they slipped off the rope after the first day, but just adding larger knots to hold them in place did the trick. It's a nice size height for the corner we have it in, but I kind of wish we went for the taller one. Very happy!!

The positives are that this is an attractive piece of cat furniture. I didn’t want a carpet covered cat tree, so was happy to find something that looked nice but was functional too. My cats immediately loved the toy and scratch posts, and I am pleased with the pads. I love that we can just throw them in the washer too.For the downside, assembly was a bit of a mess. It matters which board is the top and which is the bottom of the box part of the tree. The top board should have one hole to attach to a post, 4 holes for screws, and Velcro strips for a pad. The bottom board should have 2 holes to attach to scratch posts and 4 plastic fittings for hardware to fit into in each corner. Mine came with the holes for posts and hardware holes mixed up. So I had to drill a second hole to use for the bottom, as that was just the easiest fix. As a result, I now have a random hole on the top of the box and Velcro strips on the bottom of the box that can’t be used. It’s not the end of the world, but was very confusing since the instructions were not labeled very well to begin with.

Really pleased with the aesthetic of this cat tower, especially since most other cat towers out there are ugly carpeted eyesores. It's a great height to stick in front of a window so that the top perch looks out on the world-- my cat Humphrey loves to look out from a third floor apartment and watch the birds. I've had other cat-parent friends come over and compliment it, even going so far as to take a picture so they could look into getting it themselves. It's a nice sturdy piece, and I love that there are 4 scratching posts (although my cat only really ever uses the tallest one). I purchased this a year ago and still haven't had to replace the scratching post (it's a huge plus that they sell replacement parts so the whole thing isn't useless if you have a cat who tears scratching posts apart!). The padded cushions included are really soft and comfortable, and assembly was really easy... A+ product!

All the parts were there. Instructions were not clear enough for me. Took about 2 hours and the lid of the boxed house is still not secure.The quality of the product is very, very nice.I am not good at LEGO so this was a huge challenge for my limited skills.You may not be disappointed if you are good at assembling.

Allows my cats to look down on the peons like the queen kitty she is lol. Just set this up today with my 9year old and 4 year old helpers. Took about 45 minutes but that was more because of tiny hands getting in the way. Once everything was together it’s nice and sturdy which is great. I got this in the hope that when we move in a year it will survive the move unlike her carpet covered condo I got this one to replace. I had serious issues with the stability and cleanliness of her last condo, having kids who think the cat condos are their toys as well as the cats it got dirty and rickety rather fast. If this condo stays nice for awhile I might invest in the bigger one when we getting another cat in the future. Overall so far a great product and highly recommend.
