Ours love chasing plastic bottle caps around, particularly the tux, so I'm thinking they'll like this.
We also have catnip sausages. Sometimes we put all the sausages in a bag and and lay the bag down - they go nuts, stuffing their head in the bag and trying to get the sausages out. I saw the tux running around with the bag over her head lol.

One thing I really like about them is you can replace the center scratching part. The replacements come in a 2 pack and you just pop them in and out. And the plastic part is easy to wash and clean for when someone hurks a huge juicy hairball in the track. It is amazing how many of those cardboard centers we go through here. I think I bought a case the last time because it was cheaper that way and I know I will use them all. But it sure beats scratched up furniture. |

When it starts to get a bit worn on the top I pop it out and turn it over. It makes them last a bit longer.
And it sure does beat scratched up furniture. It's in the top 5 of my best things I ever bought for the cats list.
Since Bitty has claimed this one as her personal property I think I will get another one for the other cats. She can't hog both at the same time if they are in different rooms.

They also make a center piece that grows grass. Might work for a single cat household but it would be mowed down in a minute here and then I would have grass barf everywhere.
You can get replacement ball packs that have a ball that lights up when touched and ones you can put catnip in. I'm thinking of getting the lighted ball as I do hear them playing with it at night. It's not loud but the ball makes a unique swish swish sound as it goes around the track. It would give them something to fiddle with at night instead of getting in other trouble.

I will have to look for the fancy add-ons as mine seem to have grown bored with theirs. |

Grass barf....  I have a couple of lighted balls and they don't seem to prefer them over the plain balls. I need to look for the ones that catnip can be put inside. |

Yep, grass barf.  Most of mine are too old and tummy particular to eat those grass things. They get all excited and eat it, then 15 min later my floor starts to look like astro turf. Nope, no more fresh grass for my tribe. |

Daisy may be the boss, but I love that blind Lucy got a top spot too.

The old scratching post looks sad and lonely.

Yeah, I really need to do something about that scratching post. It is on last legs.
LOL Lucy is no shrinking violet when it comes to where she wants to go. If any of the other cats are in her way, she will mow right over them and they will defer to her rather than resist.

I like how the bottom bits are diagonal. I'd love to get a cat tree, but I'm afraid no one would use it. My cats don't like being together at all. And they won't use a scratching post.

My cats don't hang out with each other either with the exception of Daisy and Lucy who will occasionally play together.
During the cooler winter months several will sleep on a blanket but they are sleeping with the blanket and not purposely with each other. Another cat just happens to be on the same blanket too.
I have never had a cat that didn't get on a cat tree if one was there and I have had a big bunch of cats.
