Highlighted Reviews
"This cat wall is amazing! It doesn't take up any floor space! You can pick and choose where to attach each different shelf, scratcher, peg, etc. My cats love that they can climb to the top and see out into the yard."
"The hardware on this is terrible. It is just about impossible to install. My very handy cat dad did everything he could and we could only install about 1/2 of it. You have to take the whole thing down to change the configuration, which after the hassle of putting it up, it's never coming down."
