Not at all feasible
By Hannah on Dec 19, 2019
I was so excited to get these and give them as gifts. But the instructions in this book are so general they aren’t helpful at all. There are no templates or definite guidance. And the habitats would actually be really difficult and complex to make. Not what I was expecting and I wouldn’t recommend this.

Not what I expected
By Kate on Aug 3, 2019
Not what I was expecting. You definitely need more than just “everyday household items” for these projects, which I will not be buying.

Our cats love these cat castles!!
By Seth on May 22, 2019
The book was pretty much everything I expected - easy to follow instructions on how to make your own custom cat beds/play areas. The materials were not hard to come by either. I'm no handyman or artist, but the two I've built so far have turned out great and the cats really enjoy the new digs.

Product labeling not clear - these are not castles
By BooCatherine on Feb 6, 2019
This is just a book that tells you how to make the castles if you happen to have the right size and thickness of cardboard. This is NOT a book of paper/cardboard that you could use to make the castles. Misleading marketing and misleading product packaging
