2 Tier Dinosaur Shaped Cat Tree with Rotatable Sisal Scratching Ball and 4 Cat Holes, Green

A cat walks up to a platform, looks up, and walks away. The gap between levels is too big for a kitten still growing or an older cat with stiff hips, so the tree sits unused in the corner.

Here the second platform is 12 inches off the floor and measures 13 by 13 inches, so there is a proper landing at the top of one short hop. Four cat holes mean the climb can start from whichever side the cat is already on.

Short jumps by design

19 by 14.5 inches on the floor and 23 inches tall, with the second platform 13 by 13 inches and only 12 inches off the ground. A single low step is the difference between a kitten using a tree every day and walking past it.

A ball that spins back

The sisal ball sits where the dinosaur's head would be and turns as it is hit, so a cat batting it gets movement rather than a dead surface. Sisal rope is the coarse, hard wearing version of the fibre, which is why it goes where the claws actually land.

Why it does not rock

Two reinforced bars tie the side panels together and the base runs the full 19 by 14.5 inch footprint. A scratcher that shifts under a cat gets abandoned, so a wide base on a short tree is worth more than an extra tier.

The upper one 13 in x 13 in, 12 in off the floor.

On or off from any direction, plus a place to hide.

Wrapped in natural sisal rope and free to spin.

Described by the maker as pilling free and non shedding.

Two of them, tying the sides together.

19 in x 14.5 in, about the size of a large cushion.

Covered directly by the manufacturer under their warranty terms for material and manufacturing defects.

Height guidance for kittens lands around 30 to 40 inches, and a 12 inch first step is well inside what a young cat can manage without a run up.

A senior that has started refusing the top of a tall tower will still take a single low step. Closer levels get used more often than high ones.

At 19 by 14.5 inches it tucks beside a sofa or under a window without rearranging the room around it.

How tall is it?

23 inches, over a footprint of 19 by 14.5 inches.

How big a jump is the top level?

The second platform is 12 inches off the ground and measures 13 by 13 inches.

Is it suitable for a kitten?

The low step and the wide base suit a young cat. General height guidance puts kittens and seniors in the 30 to 40 inch range, and this tree sits below that.

What is the scratching surface?

A rotatable ball wrapped in natural sisal rope. There are no upright sisal posts on this model.

Will it wobble?

Two reinforced bars tie the sides together and the base runs the full footprint. No weight capacity is published for the platforms.

How do I clean the plush?

Brush or lint roll first, then vacuum. The maker describes the teddy plush as pilling free and non shedding, and no cover on this model is removable.
