Catstages Cat Scratcher with Feather Spring Toy & Removable Tunnel Cat Toy
In a Nutshell
- Works well as a scratcher but the attached tunnel is small and not fastened properly.
- Overall functionality is alright a bit of an annoyance when removing the Tunnel.
- My 6 month old kitten ripped the feathers in under a minute into two pathetic little remnants.
Quick Verdict
This product serves well as a scratcher but falls short with its removable tunnel, which is small and doesn't stay fastened. It's a good buy if your cat loves scratching but may not be worth it if you’re looking for a tunnel play feature.
