Compared to comparable tonnes of this type, this model is comfortable with a diameter of about 42 cm wide, offering indoor and up more deck space for something larger animals. Many other tons provide only 36-38 cm in diameter, which acts visibly smaller and will be too little for big cats. In addition, the center hole is further cut than usual, which also promotes acceptance in cats. Overall, this ton thus acts initially not only living room compatible, but really well thought out and due to the dimensions and weight of the rich also rock solid.
From our cat Cats Crush was also taken within minutes after installation curious hogging. First was sniffing diligently, then scratched vigorously (super cat tree) and then followed to our surprise even the unexpected from us and soon very unpleasant biting and tearing. Bitten was doing with growing enthusiasm in the stuck gray fabric tape at the openings and the top edge of the bed. It took less than 2 hours, first scraps of tape were removed and spread out in the apartment. After a few weeks the band was largely removed the top and at the bottom hole and then you looked up that unsightly lower material and the now partly open, umherbaumelnden ends of Sisalummantelung there. Given the not very favorable price these partial durability deficits a rather unfortunate development were already. Our cat was safe no matter, she had her full of fun, we less.
Eventually we had but then got used to the local disintegration, was scratched primarily at the buoy (and for less on furniture) and the lying surface served up quite often as a welcome sleep and vantage point. The caves in the ton were used much less frequently compared, which may, however, have also leaned on the nonsensical inner holes there are to connect the 3 levels. Our cat had no interest in these climbs, so I inserted a cardboard floor in the center hole over it with a blanket. At least, was a sporadically used sleeping.
After about 15 months, as the sisal side slowly at the highly frequented locations replaced through frequent scratching, we have the Cats Crush ton then replaced by another ton. These other tonne is now, unfortunately, less and equally expensive, but the holes and the edge but are armed with fake fur, which triggers seemingly less Beißreflexe. It remains to be seen whether this time the opener somewhat longer joy of optics have become.
Conclusion:
The Cats Crush is a stylish, sufficiently large and solid tonne probably encounters high acceptance among cats, especially as more durable scratching post and a place to sleep with a view in the new state. Because of the unfortunate choice of materials to the hole edges and the top edge but must be reckoned with massive and unfortunately very early damage and therefore optical defects. Given the high price in conjunction with the limited durability of the material I give the Cats Crush with a lot of goodwill 3 stars. More is despite great new look and in principle advantageous construction simply not there.
Side note:
Anyone interested in the big Cats crush tonne should definitely compare the prices online or look around the trails. We have paid much less for our tonne, as demand third-party currently on Amazon (120 + shipping).
