Metal under the wrapping

The maker shows the bare steel tubing the stem is built from. Under the rope and the plush there is metal rather than a paper core, which is what lets the branch carrying the side perch reach out that far and still be at the same angle in a year.

Thirty eight, fifty two, seventy

Three perch heights over a base 23.5 inches square, the side perch 16 inches across, with 22 lbs published for each layer. The spacing is wide by cat tree standards, so this design suits a confident jumper more than it suits a kitten or a cat whose back legs are not what they were.

Deep pile, and it lifts off

Each bed is a ring of long plush around a dished cushion, and the cushions detach. The maker recommends hand washing over the machine, which is sound advice for a pile this long. A hot cycle turns it to felt and there is no getting it back afterwards.

Rope on the stem, sisal on the floor

The stem is wrapped in natural sisal and the base board is a full scratching mat. Between them a cat gets a vertical pull and a horizontal dig without a separate post standing somewhere else in the room, which is usually where a post ends up being ignored.

Fully covered, curved profile.

At 38 in, 52 in and 70 in.

The gaps between the three perches are wide. A cat that clears a kitchen counter from standing will use all of them, and a cautious one may only ever use the lowest.

Silver grey plush on a cream stem sits with grey upholstery and pale floors instead of standing out as pet furniture in the corner.
