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
The cats love it!
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
I love the design and look of this shelf and our cats love it too!
