This Cat Frame is a great item for your cat, our cat makes great use of the Rope Pole for Scratching and we've discovered that she uses it to shed her old nails on the pole, yes its an all around great unit, as she plays on it and sleeps in the box section as well, she actually climbs up onto the top of the box where the pole is attached and wraps herself around the pole whilst playing, its turned out to be money well spent :)
