Review: First thoughts: Glad I finally bought one! With update... - I received this today less than an hour ago, so take this for what it’s worth...a first impression only. I’ll provide an updated review later. I’ve been on the fence about buying the perch for many years, mainly because of the reviews. I’ve cycled through three of the posts in about 14 years (for the same two cats, now one). My boy has taken to sitting on the top, new place new vantage point I guess, so I decided it was time to roll the dice to help make him more comfortable. Very glad I did! It slides right on, feels extremely sturdy and is bigger than I expected. Never bothered with measurements but it looks vastly wider after seeing him balance on the post top daily. He’s only 10lbs and will be 18 this year, still agile but fragile. Now about that cushion...everything you read is true, unfortunately. Super slippery and definitely not acceptable as designed. As an immediate fix, I slipped a pot holder with rubber backing under there just to let him test it. Works surprisingly well!! I put him right on it and he took to it instantly. Yay! Then I noticed the base started wobbling as he moved. It doesn’t normally do that. But it’s been a long time since I tightened anything on it, so I’m really hoping that will be easily resolved. Like I said, first impressions only. One more thing of note....mainly cosmetic. The underside of the brace or perch base that slides on, is now visible to me from a low angle (on the sofa) and it’s a bit of visual noise I wasn’t counting on seeing. It bothers me after having such attractive, clean lines from the post all these years. Or it’s because I’m a total fuss-pot in general! I also don’t love the tacky red oven-mitt looking red cushion either. I plan on yanking some tips from other reviewers here by using a flor carpet tile (on order) and maybe using a smartly placed piece of ribbon to hide the brace underneath. This is for him though, so if it doesn’t work out, that’s okay. He loves laying on anything red anyway, so weirdly that might be better. I’ll let you know my final thoughts and send pictures. But no matter what, I’m not sorry that I finally tried it! Update: I really should have waited to make my review. I haven’t made the cosmetic adjustments I mentioned yet. But I did buy a new post and after setting it up I realized the perch does not fit as well on the new one. It readily slides out of place but it fitted snuggly on the old post. It’s only been about a week, so it should not have needed tightening that soon. Now the whole thing seems like more trouble than it’s worth. Lots of fiddling around to make it work. I took it off and my cat is back up there on the tiny post top, very happy with his old balancing act! He didn’t really trust the perch as is, and neither do I. Also, the Flor tiles I chose were absolutely hideous (which is my own fault) so I’m officially out of more money than I was willing to spend on this. I LOVE what others here have done but I think this might end up being a waste for me. It’s not a waste altogether, so I’m not dropping stars. You will definitely need to take their advice though, and it’s probably a very simple DYI fix. I’m still not sorry I bought it, because I would have regretted not trying it at least. If I get it to work and actually feel confident using it enough to properly recommend, I will report back!
Review: Clever addition to the scratching post - The perch is a clever addition to the scratching post. It provides a wide enough base for the cats to easy jump onto and allows them to access the window by the post. It is very easy to put onto the post. As for the negatives: - The small sticky dots used to affix the perch to the post are constantly separating from the post (velcro would have worked so much better). - When the cats quickly jump onto or are playing on the perch, it slides forward and has come off on a couple of occasions. **Update Feb 18 2015*** I'm really pleased to see that they have made some product updates since the last time I purchased the perch. I just purchased another one as I have a few ultimate scratching posts. The perch is now attached by Velcro and there are now plastic tabs that rotate and lock the perch in place. Excellent updates making this now a five star purchase!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ great product / poor quality control
*by S***J on May 22, 2013*

summary: great looking/secure fit. my cat loved it from the second i put it on and took a step back. adhesive on velcro circles not strong enough-- you'll need to glue them down if your cat is a sloppy climber like mine-- when she pulls off the straps it was taking the little velcro stickers with them. after some krazy glue to hold them down i'm quite happy with the product. cushion is easily detached and washable, which is a huge bonus with pet furniture. made in china.. quality control doesn't seem that great, but it's solidly built and a must buy if you already have the scratching post (and don't own some luxurious cat tree or something). ----full review---- bought this to slide on to my SmartCat scratching post. All i can figure is that I got one someone had returned previously. The pieces that hold the perch on to the scratching post were slightly uneven, so i had to really slam it on and push it real tight while bending the flimsy plastic "stay" on one side. Once it was on it was secure though, and my only concern is that one plastic piece popping off. if it does, it's a cheap/quick fix, and not really a necessary part anyway. the velcro circles on the bottom of the perch that keep the cushion on were not secure. within minutes my kitten (who climbs up the post sloppily to get to the perch) had pulled off 2 straps and the velcro circles came with them. these could easily come permanently affixed from the factory, I don't know why they use these cheap stickers. I had to Krazy Glue them down so they'd stop detaching (the circles to the bottom of the perch, not the straps!). The adhesive just wasn't powerful enough to withstand the power of my feline companion, Sarah. with the circles secure, the perch on tight-- Sarah the cat couldn't be happier. She started using the perch as soon as I put it on, and it's her new favorite hang out spot. I would highly recommend this (and the scratching post it affixes to) to any cat owner whose cat likes to have a nice view of the room.
