This thing is so big that it has to be attached to the ceiling so it doesn’t fall over. I bet if you were to grab on to one of the icicle things and pulled it would make the the whole thing shake. DON’T TRY THAT!
I’m pretty sure that if one of my cats saw that she would try to climb it.
I like this piece because it looks cool. :p
