"I have 2 cats and they love this tower. The picture is one of the rare occasions when they weren’t on it. They sleep, play and hangout on it. Doesn’t tip when they jump on or off and are playing around. Very pleased. Good price for a tower this large."
"We got it so they could get up and down from our loft by themselves and. This replaced a tree of same height that she used every day and scratched to pieces, she has other trees she uses without any problems. Spends her time sprawling on the bottom platform."
