Feline Furniture Co. Deluxe Cat Condo

When the UPS driver first handed me the package, I thought there must be some mistake. The box resting in my arms only weighed about 12 pounds and measured about 17×20.

When the cat scratch box arrived, my cats were immediately intrigued running over to take a look at the newest cat product in the house. Set in an attractive mahogany frame, the scratching pad measured 14”x28” making it large enough for more than one cat at a time to enjoy. Immediately, my alphas’ Matuse and Oliver claimed their right to this fine piece of feline furniture. As their claws found purchase in the filler (heavy-duty industrial corrugated cardboard, I braced myself waiting for th...
