Argos Cat Scratching Post

I got this Argos Cat Scratching Post for my kitten a good few years ago now and he loved it! He'd climb his way up to the top, hide in the "den" and use it as a place to sleep. However, the fabric covering the frame quickly became tired looking and the platform wobbly and unstable.

I've now had to get rid of this product because as the cat became older and bigger, I found it a little dangerous. He would use the scratching post and inevitably his claws would get caught up in the fabric so he would try to pull them free as hard as he could and this often resulted in him pulling the whole thing down on top of himself!

Luckily he was never hurt (that god for cat's quick reactions!) but I wasn't comfortable letting him use it anymore.

We quite happily bought our little babies the Argos cat scratching post with a cubby hole at the bottom and a platform on the top. They adore sitting on the platform watching us come and go, and occasionally enjoy hiding in the cubby. They even make use of the scratching post. However, it's not very old and the platform has become very wobbly and unstable. Our cats are both small and rather skinny, so it's not that they're too much weight for it, it's simply not very well-made, which is a shame as the cats adore their piece of furniture but Argos don't seem to sell this particular model anymore. I suppose we'll have to look elsewhere to replace it.
