Songmics cat tree review

My cat is my little princess and I love to keep her entertained. She has no end of toys, whether it’s balls, mice or dangly rods, but I always like to look for something a bit different. I was recently approached by Songmics who have a Amazon shop that sells a large range of products. They saw I had a cat and offered one of their cat trees to review.

The cat tree came in a huge box and came flat packed. Now I’m by no means a DIY expert but I did find it fairly easy to put together. The instructions didn’t really have any real guidance on but it was relatively simple to get the gist of how to put it together. I did start off putting the only different sized post on the wrong place at first though!

The cat tree comes with a little bed in which your cat can lie, several scratching posts, a top stand to lie on and a swinging ball. The tree does seem slightly too heavy on the top stand and does occasionally have a tendency to topple over if your cat is overly energetic (as Tara is).

My cat generally does not like beds, she prefers to just lie down on a cold floor or a sofa (weird animal). So to get her to use the cat tree is quite a feat. For most of the week she ignored it apart from to bat at the ball, or scratch her claws – but then victory – I caught her lying on the top of the tree.

Hopefully the cat tree will grow on Tara and I may be able to encourage her with treats but at least she’s tried it out.
