4 reviews forTIAKI Starcats Coffee Scratching Den

First off, the base plate is actually tricky, but with a bit of patience, short breaks, and some help from the 🐈, I finally managed to get the piece where it belongs. Otherwise, the coffee mug is an absolute highlight and easily stands up to a Norwegian with zoomies. 1* deducted because the base was really a tight squeeze. Otherwise, a clear recommendation.

It's absolutely beautiful, especially the lid for scratching – it's really sturdy for a scratch board! I would have given 5 stars, but the instructions are a bit confusing and we had some issues with the bottom scratch board, I think it's too big for the bottom so we trimmed the edge a bit! Unfortunately, it broke at the bottom during assembly, but we glued it back together really well! My cats love it! For the price, it's absolutely worth it! I've only had it for two days but the cardboard still looks brand new despite constant use.

The funny design really stands out and my cats love lying in it. However, I would advise against using the little sticky pads that come with it. You're supposed to stick them under the middle level inside, but they don't make any difference to the stability. My crazy cat picked them off and chewed them up. I had to hunt for all the bits to make sure she hadn't swallowed any! That's why I'm knocking off a point. Otherwise, for cardboard, it's a sturdy and very attractive scratching post.
