I purchased this for my son��s newly rescued indoor cat and she took to it immediately. When she is sleepy she crawls in and naps, when she is feeling playful she will climb on it, scratch it and use it as a perch. It is quite sturdy for cardboard and the scratching surface is lined on the entire interior, including the ceiling, and around all three exterior sides. The back displays a cute picture. I waited five months to post this to see how it held up and it is still going strong. She has scratched some of the exterior and there is very minor wear, as expected, but overall the cardboard construction exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend this adorable cat TV!
