We already had a scratching post of TecTake and since we were very happy with it, we decided again for such a scratching post. Since the "old" model was no longer available Unfortunately, we ordered these. The scratching post is here in the corner, so we have built it without the stairs, so that the three pretty ones have more "climbing clearance". And since our 3 cats love cubicles, we have built with the trough of the old cat tree. Even with this cat tree, we are again very happy and also our cats he comes back to super good! The next time gladly again!
