Furhaven Tiger Tough Cat Tree Clubhouse Playground

Took a few days for my kitten to learn how to get on this thing since the platforms aren’t staggered except for the top one. Now she loves it. I do wish the bottom posts had scratching post type material though. She didn’t use the condo part until I put in a blanket for her to lay on. Now she takes naps in it. She loves the mouse toy a lot as well. It also is good for anyone with limited space as it’s made to be put in a corner!

I’m incredibly satisfied with this cat tree, and so is my cat. Not every cat is interested in cat trees right away, but mine loves to climb up high. I introduced him to it after I put it together, and he loves it. I’ve purchased cat trees in the past that looked big online but ended up being super small (even too small for an adult cat) in person and only substantial in the height department. This cat tree is compact but still generously sized. My family has two very large, fat cats (weighing about 15 lbs.), and they could easily use this cat tree. My cat is of a reasonable size, not tiny but not fat, and this is perfect for him. He took to the bowl-shaped hammock right away. I have mine sitting on carpet, and it rocks just a tad, but I think it would be more stable on a hard floor. The whole thing put together is a little wobbly but not to a degree that it’s an issue. Putting this together was easy. It took me about an hour. Some things to note: make sure you put it together in the room where you want it or carry it into that room before completely putting the top parts on, otherwise it could be too tall to fit through the door. With the ceiling stabilizer addition, I don’t think it’s in much danger of falling over unless you run full speed at it and tackle it or intentionally shove it over. A very large, heavy dog could potentially shove it at least partially over, but for most cases, it should be relatively stable. The only thing is that the instructions don’t tell you is how to put the ceiling stabilizer together. To help anyone that might have an issue, here’s how to put it together:

The instructions will say to screw either part 13 or part 14 to the top. Whichever you use depends on how high your ceiling is. You can sit the 13 or 14 piece on top and then hold the 15 piece with the spring-loaded mechanism inside over the 13 or 14 piece to see which works best. After you attach either the 13 or 14 piece, the instructions will tell you to screw a dowel screw B into the top of the 13 or 14 piece. Once you’ve done this, you can attach the 15 piece. First, you need to make sure you have the 15 piece and the spring mechanism put together. One side of the 15 piece has a large hole. Included in the package are two PVC pipes and one small PVC connector, in case one pipe isn’t long enough for your ceiling. Also included are a rubbery disc to attach to the end of one of the pipes and a long, black spring. To put the mechanism together, drop the spring into the hole of the 15 piece. Connect the disc to the end of one of the pipes. If you need both pipes, connect them with the small PVC connecter. A faux fur, elastic slip is included to put over the ceiling secure mechanism. If you want to use it, put the pipe down one elastic hole of the slip and pull the sides of the hole up around the disc on the end of the pipe. You can bunch the rest of the slip up around the underside of the disc until you get the mechanism stabilized against your ceiling. Now is the tricky part. You need to push the pipe with the disc on the end down, against the spring, until you can get the other end of the 15 piece onto the dowel screw in the top of the 13 or 14 piece. Once you’ve got it on the screw, you can let the disc extend against your ceiling and screw the 15 piece on all the way, holding it stable as you do. The screw and the pipe and spring should hold the 15 piece in place so you can screw it on tightly without having to hold the pipe down against the spring anymore. Finally, once you’ve tightened the 15 piece, you can pull the other end of the slip down over the 15 piece, and your cat tree will officially be finished and secured against the ceiling!

Functions as intended but the tower is not wholly stable and leans when the cat is on the edge that is missing a corner support midway up.

My husband and I took in a stray, Spanky, whom we wanted to keep as an indoor cat without him taking to scratching the furniture. We’ve had many cats through the years and none of them played with toys. So we bought the smallest one this company makes just to see. Not only did he LOVE it, and roughed at it so much we had to keep repairing it! lol (not because of poor quality,but because our outdoor cat, Vinnie, who is much larger loved it too! So, we took the plunge and bought this one. It was the best thing in the world!!! Both cats love it so much, it gives me many hours of enjoyment as I am bedridden and can enjoy watching them play. I would buy it all over again ….that’s how much it occupies their time. Not to mention, they love sleeping on it as well. Its VERY sturdy, not very hard to put together…took less than 1/2 hour, and just for added fun, placed it in front of the window today so he could look out the window… Spanky hardly left his condo all day! Just LOVE this item!

****** 1 YEAR UPDATE ****** We’ve had this cat condo (Cat Heaven to Spanky!) and it is still going strong as you can see from the 2 added photos. They were taken today, November 20, 2016. He’s not quite the tiny ball of fur he was when we first bought it, however, as you can see, he still loves it just as much! You can also see the lover right leg is scratched to death… that could have been our furniture! Worth every penny and would certainly buy again! SO very happy with it!
