She is still getting to know everything, but she jumped up there first day, on her own, and now it's her go-to scratcher
Hi there, we’re so glad she took to her new wall scratcher right away! She's so cute! It’s wonderful to hear it’s already become her go-to. Thanks for sharing! -Elexis
I bought the 3 Tier wall maze (with the scratching pole) and my cats are obsessed. They took to it right away, exploring, wrestling and finding their favorite perch spots.
Instructions feel a little complicated at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's a solid and well-made set of shelves and pathways. I had a question about a piece of hardware that was provided at the customer service team was prompt in their response and super helpful.
If I had more wall space, I'd buy more products from Catastrophic!
Hi Diana, thanks so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted your cats took to their 3 Tier Wall Maze right away and have found their favorite perches, they look adorable! We appreciate your kind words about the quality and our customer service team, and hope you and your cats enjoy many more adventures! -Elexis
Our climbing kitty loves his new bridge! This has become the cornerstone of our climbing wall setup. It took him about 5 days to figure out he could indeed cross it, and now he plays on it multiple times a day and even naps in the middle of the bridge. It is extremely sturdy, I’m delighted with the quality!
Hi Devin! We’re so happy your kitty loves the bridge, and that he’s made it a favorite spot for play and naps. He is adorable! Thanks for sharing how sturdy and well-made you find it. -Elexis
Hi Isabel! We're so happy to hear Sunshine loves her wall and hammock. She is so cute! Thanks for sharing your lovely review! -Elexis
They love hanging out on these beds, super sturdy and correctly sized. Love how flexible these systems are along with how nice they look and furniture grade compared to most on the market solutions.
Hi Justin, we're thrilled to hear your cats love their new bed! They are adorable! Thanks for sharing your fantastic feedback. We appreciate your support! -Elexis
I originally had the angled lounge set up as shown, but my cat wasn't sure about climbing up it. I think I had it too far off the ground and could have placed it elsewhere for her to like it that way, but I ended up using it as a flat shelf on another part of the wall with a hammock at the end, and she loves it that way!
Hi Isabel, we're so glad your cat is enjoying the lounge in their new setup! They are adorable! Thanks for sharing your creative use of the product. Hope she continues to love it! -Elexis
So 5 starts for quality and videos that don’t leave you on your own. I’m handy around the house and this was easy even without instructions. I couldn’t easily find how far apart or how high off the floor to install. Don’t know if that’s my poor search skills or not something that people ask often.
I want to built a cat wall, so I tried this first to see if I feel comfortable doing it. This was installed close to a window for access to a window seat. I used one, but looks like I will have to install the other one. I have only one cat that uses it.
So to hit high points: easy to install, great quality, easy to follow instructions, my cats are spoiled and don’t want to use it🙄
Hi there, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you found the Floating Cat Step easy to install and of great quality. It’s fantastic that you're planning to build a cat wall! Feel free to reach out if you would like help designing it! We recommend starting the furniture 10-12 inches from where the cats will be entering from.
In most cases, we've heard very positive feedback about their cats adapting quickly to the furniture. But there are those cats that are a bit more cautious. If your cat falls into this category, you may want to ease them onto the cat furniture using these tips.
Now that your cat’s new furniture is up, you want to give your cat positive reinforcements, so they will relate the area to good things. We highly suggest incorporating things like catnip, playtime, or giving them treats from their new furniture.
Feel free to reach out if there is anything I can do for you! -Elexis
My babies love the scratching post! Watching them climb on it is adorable!! High quality and relatively simple to put together. Would be even better if it came with placement stickers for the **** holes.
Hi Nhien, we're so happy to hear your cats love the climbing pole! Thanks for the feedback about the placement stickers – we'll consider that for future updates. Enjoy watching your adorable babies! -Elexis
We got two of these and a hammock and put one of the nest beds up first to see how they would take to it. Well, they loved it so much they would both pile into it! We put up the hammock and the other nest bed and they are in them all the time. The bed is super supportive and comfy for them and it looks great in our Livingroom. Very much recommend!
Hi Samantha, we're thrilled to hear your cats love their new beds! They are adorable! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for recommending us. -Elexis
My cat loves his new hammocks. I put it under the window to the backyard, to give him a look out. He loves running up the raceway and lounging on his hammock. It was easy to put together and feels very durable.
Hi Reanna! We're so happy to hear your cat loves the hammock and that it was easy to set up. They are adorable! Thanks for sharing your experience. -Elexis
I have two cats and two dogs in a small apartment. This tree gives the cats much needed space away from the dogs, and everyone is happy!

Our big guy Casper loves his cat wall! He weighs 14 lbs and can jump on the shelves no problem.
Hi there! We're so happy to hear Casper is loving his cat wall. He is adorable, and your setup looks great. Thanks for sharing your positive experience! -Elexis
When we started to explore the options of cat furniture, we knew we wanted some thing that looked nice and was high-quality, considering we were mounting it on our living room wall. Thankfully, once we got the scratching pole and the bridge and hammock installed all of our five cats showed immediate interest in exploring it. We will be looking to add a piece or two in the future.
Hi Jeannine, we're thrilled to hear your cats love their new climbing pole! Thank you for choosing Catastrophic Creations, and we look forward to helping you find more pieces for your feline friends in the future. - Alexandria
We're thrilled to hear your cats love The Juggernaut! Your setup looks great! Thank you for sharing your experience.
I knew we had irregularly spaced studs so was prepared for a tricky installation process. Ended up mounting and painting a bunch of 2 x 1 boards to the existing studs, then bolting the playground structure to those. It was harder than I thought it would be (old houses, am I right?) and added another $100 to the cost by the time I got done buying paint and stuff. All of this struggle was essentially self-inflicted, so I’m not blaming Catastrophic Creations for that.
However, putting the structure up sucked, to be perfectly frank. Getting the screws into the bracket thingys was so stressful. If I had it to do again, I would have replaced the screws that came with the product for something 3x stronger, bc trust me, if you’re using a drill with a screwdriver bit, you WILL be at risk of stripping those screws. In particular, the ones that are inserted underneath the brackets — nightmare. It’s nice that the piece is constructed to hide the **** head, but best of luck getting the angle right so the **** actually goes in all the way. Otherwise installation was a snap. But there were 15 of those dang brackets! I’m pretty happy with how it all came out. We didn’t get everything perfect and pretty, but I think the cats will love it (they’re taking some time to adjust to it, which isn’t too surprising). Idk if I’d do it again. It was so much money and stress. I did have room for pressure mounted floor-to-ceiling cat trees and probably that’s what I should have done. That said, this product is inarguably gorgeous — real wood, solid, aesthetic. So maybe once I’ve stopped feeling salty about the install I won’t have as many regrets!
Oh, and we are “saving” the floating sisal posts to install one by one over the next year or so, to extend the novelty factor.
Hi Alexandra, thank you so much for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you love the look of the Juggernaut and appreciate your honesty about the installation challenges. Your tips on screws are really helpful. We hope your cats enjoy their new playground (they are adorable), and we’re here if you need any further assistance or advice. Thanks again for sharing your experience! -Elexis
Cats figured out it was a delivery for them before the box was opened. It was hard to keep them out of the room during the installation process. We will need to order a few more items when the kitten (not in the picture) gets bigger and more confident around heights, so we can mount a cat bed at the top to finish the original idea we had for it. We appreciate a thoughtful design and options for different setups.
The customer service was great, very helpful. The exchange and return of the items we could not use were very easy processes.
Hi Anna, we're thrilled to hear the cats love their new lounge! I love to see them exploring it! It's great that the design options worked well for you, and we're glad our customer service made everything smooth. We look forward to helping with your future setups. Thanks for sharing your experience! -Elexis
Hi Alyssa,
We are so glad to hear that your cats love it! They are adorable in this picture! Feel free to reach out if there is anything we can do for you! -Elexis
I’ll be honest. I bought this for my 1 year old kitten who decided he’d prefer to jump to the cabinet tops than his regular cat tree. However, this was the best purchase I could have made for him. He and his sister love this thing. While we intended to put it in our living room to deter him from the kitchen cabinets (open concept home), it was slightly too short for above the window. Make sure you find and measure all the stud distances before you purchase. I ran into non-standard distances between the studs surrounding my window, and the bridge ended up too short. We were able to use it as the foundation for their cat wall in our basement and can’t wait to purchase more!
Hi Morgan,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Your cat is adorable and your Bridge is looking great! We are so glad to hear that the Bridge has been a good foundation point for your cat wall. Feel free to reach out if there is anything we can do for you! -Elexis
They love it! It took a bit to warm up to them, but now they know and love their new feeding bowls. And the bowls are up and out of the dogs’ reach!
Hi Dave,
I am so happy to hear that your cats have warmed up to their new furniture and are enjoying it! Your installation looks great and we love to hear that the Feeder Bowls have been a helpful addition. We look forward to seeing any future additions you may consider. - Alexandria
I wanted to hang some climbing furniture in my living room but didn’t have a lot of space. I originally looked at buying a scratching post, wooden bridge, and hammock separately but buying those parts individually is WAY more expensive and was about the same price as the entire expedition set (which also includes multiple other platforms and the scratching post and bridge are larger). Buying the condo sets is a much better deal as the price-per-component is far less. Thankfully, the set is extremely modular and I made a custom layout to fit my space. I didn’t use the entire set and put all of the extra components in storage and hope to use them once I move into a larger place that can accommodate more. I absolutely love the aesthetic and build-quality and my cat, Willow, has already found her new favorite lounge spot!
Hi Jonathan, Willow is absolutely adorable! Your setup looks fantastic, and we're so happy to hear that your cat is enjoying her new favorite lounge spot. Thanks for sharing your experience! -Elexis
Loved my experience with carastrophiccreations getting a mock up and suggested pieces. I ended up just ordering the hammock. It looks nice and quality is high but installing was extremely difficult. Either you need a smaller flatter drill (if that even exists) or an incredibly long drill bit (which isn’t standard). The cats like it and it’s being used but I don’t know if I would recommend to friends given the install difficulties.
Hi Lynn, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad the cats are enjoying the hammock, but sorry to hear about the installation difficulties. We'll consider this as we improve our product instructions and look into the materials we provide for installation. We appreciate your honest review! Please feel free to reach out for anything in the future. - Alexandria
Great cat bed - stylish but also functional due to the washable cover and velcro attachments; it has my cat’s seal of approval!
Hi there! We're thrilled to hear your cat loves the bed and that you appreciate its style and functionality. They look adorable! Thanks for sharing your experience! -Elexis
I purchased the 50” bridge to complete my cat wall. During installation, I ran into an issue and wasn’t sure whether I had damaged a part or if it was defective. Customer service was incredibly helpful and quickly sent a replacement piece at no cost to me. The bridge is now installed, looks amazing, and my cat wall is finally complete. Great product and outstanding customer service!
Hi Kristi,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear your cat wall is complete and that you're happy with the product and service. Your set up is looking great! Enjoy your new setup and give your cat a pet from us! -Elexis
