52 Inch Cat Tower with Hand Woven Cattail Perch and Condo, 6 Sisal Posts and Washable Cushions, Coffee

Where the levels sit

52 inches overall, with platforms at 37.5 and 25 inches and a condo 18 by 16 by 12 at the bottom. The base is 23.5 by 19 inches, the top perch is 19 by 17.5 with a 3 inch rim, and 22 lb is the published load for each layer.

Woven, with a rim

The top perch is a woven cattail basket with a padded cushion dropped inside and a raised edge standing round it. Weave breathes in a way a fabric covered board does not, which matters on the one platform a cat sleeps on through a warm afternoon.

Six posts, wrapped tight

Six columns, all wrapped in natural sisal from end to end rather than part way. The maker's close up shows the rope laid tight with no gaps, which is what stops a wrap unwinding once a cat finds a loose turn.

The condo underneath

Also woven, with an 8.5 inch doorway into a box 18 by 16 inches and 12 high. The cushion inside lifts out for washing, which is the part of any enclosed condo that eventually needs it.

A woven basket breathes underneath a sleeping cat. In a sunny window or a heated flat, that is the difference between a bed a cat uses in July and one it abandons until autumn.

Six fully wrapped sisal columns spread the wear. When one takes the brunt the others are still there, which is not true of a tower with a single post.

Cattail weave and coffee brown plush sit with rattan, jute and oak rather than against them.

How tall is it?

What is cattail?

Can I wash the cushions?
