I bought a Hicat tower for my two cats and they love it. The tower is sturdy and solid and easily stands up to two cats running up and down it and play-fighting their way to the top. Mirko's advice and service were spot on and I know I've got a high quality piece of cat furniture that will last for many years!

We ordered 2 Bobcats and 1 Catapilla from Mirko for our 6 fur babies. We could not be happier with our purchases! Mirko was incredibly responsive and the quality of the scratching posts is astounding. All of our cats are completely obsessed with them. They have become the focal point of the rooms in which they are placed, by both the cats and all who come and visit us. They are sturdy, easy to keep clean (and fur free) and able to take the weight of our largest cat who is just under 10kgs. Hundreds of hours of pure joy and climbing frenzies are certainly being had by our furry family. We couldn't recommend Mirko and his creations enough. We will definitely be purchasing from him again. Thank you Mirko =^..^= from all of us!

FAQ
Which should I choose, Catapilla™ or Fatcat?
The most noticeable difference between the two units is that the Catapilla™ is modular. It is made up of individual body units stacked one on top of another, whilst the Fatcat is formed of a single tube. Both cat furniture units feature access holes to climb through the body section, but the Catapilla™ holes can be rotated whereas the Fatcat’s are fixed into position permanently as it is a single unit.
For Wear and Tear, Opt for a Catapilla™
If you are worried about wear and tear through scratching then a Catapilla™ is a better bet than a Fatcat – this is simply because if serial scratching happens it will generally be to a favourite spot on your cat furniture and if this occurs, you’re better off with a Catapilla™ than a Fatcat as you’ll be able to rotate or swap out body units on the former.
What makes the coir used on Hicat® products easy to climb?
We tested lots of different finishes when we started Hicat® and found that the coir boucle that we use is the best for climbing as it has a ribbed weave forming horizontal loops. This means that your cat’s claws can easily grip and retract when climbing than compared to other finishes.
Can we stack our Catapilla™ more than four units high?
Yes, but we strongly advise against it as the product has been specifically designed around a maximum of four assembled units with a base. Exceeding this height may lead to the unit toppling over or breaking. If you want to go higher than four units then a wall mounting kit is the best option to secure the structure.
