49 Inch Pear Wood Cat Tower with a Hand Woven Cattail Top Basket

Where each level sits

The base is 19 inches square. The condo is 13.5 by 11 inches with an 8 inch opening, the large platform sits at 25.5 inches, the plush side perch of 14.5 inches at 38.5, and the woven cattail basket of 14 inches at 49. The maker publishes 22 pounds for each layer, and prints a note on this same drawing that the trunks are individual so the shape may differ slightly from the photographs. That is an unusually honest thing to put on a dimension panel and it is worth repeating.

Two materials doing two jobs

The structure is pear wood and woven cattail, both rigid and both breathable. The surfaces a cat lies on are long pile plush cushions that come off for washing. Nothing soft is glued to anything structural, which is why the tower can be cleaned properly instead of sponged. The manufacturer describes the cushions as soft and pet friendly, and the cattail as smooth and burr free through fine craftsmanship. Those are their descriptions of their own materials.

Four places, deliberately different

The woven basket is rigid and cool, the side perch is soft and raised, the large platform is open and flat, and the condo is dark and enclosed. Those are four genuinely different offers rather than the same platform at four heights, and in a two cat house it means both cats can find something they prefer rather than competing for one good spot.

Why the trunks are left bare

The pear wood is not wrapped or painted on the visible sections. It is a load bearing choice as much as an aesthetic one: solid trunks take a screw and hold it where a cardboard tube compresses, and they do not dent when a cat lands hard on the platform above. Jute rope is wound where a cat grips, leaving the rest of the wood showing.

Bare wood, white plush and a woven basket, which reads as a piece chosen for the room rather than tolerated in it.

A rigid basket, a soft perch, an open platform and a dark box, so a cat can pick by mood rather than by height.

Woven cattail breathes where a padded box holds heat, which a long haired cat notices in summer.

Every cushion detaches, so the soft parts go through a machine rather than being wiped in place.
