Highlighted Reviews

— Mickey 11 found helpful

"My cat loves the IQ busy box the most, she climbs up and can see everything. Very easy to put together only took me 15mins I can't put anything together."

— Tricia

"This cat tree is top heavy. My cat (about 12 pounds) jumped on the top tray and it tipped backwards. There is no weight in the front of it. Something needs to be done to the design."

Bottom Line

For small cats, this might be passable, but the instability and ineffective IQ box make it a poor choice for many. Buyers with larger cats should seek more stable alternatives.
