"My girl loves this thing! She has so many scratchers but she loves the tunnel, and I love that it can be folded and put away at times!"

"It just falls apart. It barely lasted two weeks. It’s veryyy poorly made. The kittens were able to rip off the cardboard siding with no problem within a day. It’s veryyy poorly made."
