50 Inch Cat Tree with a Hand Woven Cattail Condo, Basket and Top Perch

Fifty inches on a wide foot

The base is 28 by 20 inches, which is a lot of floor for a tower, and that is what lets it stand 50 inches with a cat moving about at the top. The round top perch is 16 inches across, the condo sits at 34.5 inches with an opening of 7 by 9.5, the hanging basket is 15 inches across and the jumping platform is a full 20 inches square. Thirty three pounds is the maker's published figure for each layer. General guidance on cat tree stability asks for a base roughly a third of the height on a tall tree, and 28 inches against 50 clears that comfortably.

Woven, not upholstered

Cattail fluff is twisted into cord and woven by hand, so the condo drum and the perch rim are a rush basket in construction rather than foam under fabric. The maker calls it breathable and long lasting, and the visible difference is that it holds its shape: a woven wall does not sag inward the way a plush sided condo does after a year of a cat pushing against it. It also puts a natural fibre next to the cat rather than a synthetic pile, which some owners prefer in a warm room.

Four places, four characters

The spacious top perch is for the cat that wants to see the room. The condo is for the one that wants to be out of it. The platform at 20 inches square is wide enough to sprawl across, and the hanging basket swings slightly, which is either the best or the worst thing about it depending on the cat. Both the condo and the perch take machine washable plush cushions, so the two most used surfaces can be stripped and cleaned properly.

Wrapped all the way, plus a ladder

The posts are wrapped in sisal along their whole length rather than in a band at the bottom, so a cat can scratch at whatever height it has reached. A carpeted ladder runs from the floor to the platform, which gives an older or heavier cat a route up that does not involve a jump, and a toy hangs from the top perch for the cat that wants something to hunt on the way past.

Woven cattail sits with rattan, jute rugs and cane furniture in a way that a cream plush tower never quite manages.

Four separate resting spots at four different heights, which is how you stop cats competing for the one good place.

A carpeted ladder from the floor to the platform turns the bottom half of the climb into steps rather than leaps.

The cushions in both the condo and the top perch come out and go in the machine, which is the practical half of owning a tower this size.
